FastMRP Solution

Overview

FastMRP™ is an application that can be integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. This solution allows for true just in time manufacturing by exploding bills of materials on demand using a rule based generic bill of material. FastMRP™ is also a material demand planning & ordering tool that calculates with accuracy equal to the takt time of a manufacturer's assembly line. This new sub-hourly material requirements planning (MRP) tool can model, simulate and order production parts. It determines at what time (HH:MM:SS) deliveries are needed at the point of application (POA). This includes the assembly line, in-house production shops and supplier's production shops. Hourly pull signals can then be distributed to all suppliers in the supply chain using the Internet and business-to-business (B2B) collaboration.

Benefits

FastMRP™ accomplishes in minutes what typical MRP packages may take hours or even days to accomplish. This rapid planning matrix results in the following significant benefits for customers:

  • Bills of materials for a custom order are created on demand with the latest scheduling and configuration information.
  • Material on order and in transit to the production line can be tracked and treated as a warehouse in motion, reducing locally stored inventory, carrying costs and obsolescence.
  • Timely MRP explosions allow customers immediate feedback on the impact of schedule changes and shipping.
  • Sub-hourly calculations allow customers to anticipate a resource shortage before a problem such as lost production time occurs.
  • Timely information allows customers to reduce expedited transportation costs of missing parts.
System Requirements

FastMRP™ is an application solution that runs on a Microsoft Windows, Linux or Unix based workstation.

System Compatibility

FastMRP™ is compatible with IBM Websphere Interchange Server technology, which allows integration with BAAN, SAP, I2, QAD, eMatrix, Oracle, PeopleSoft and many other applications.
