MRP OVERVIEW

existing)

• MRP Wizard creates recommendations using current and forecasted data

What is a Forecast?

• Creates demand for items. Typically used for finished goods (“Sales Forecast”) but can be used for bright beer or anything prior.

#Orchestrate2015

Two Ways to Create Forecasts• Forecasts can be manually

created Under MRP > Forecasts

MRP Wizard Overview• Forecasts + Scenarios = Recommendations

Forecasts are optional

• MRP Recommendations DisplayedDemand is compared to current inventory to answer “How much do I need” and “When do I order?”

• Recommendations Created

• Consider Manual Creation of PdOsTool is for planning, not scheduling

• MRP Success All Depends on Accuracy of DataInaccurate inventory or missing planning data means incorrect recommendations
