Plan Materials and Production With Greater Accuracy

Manufacturers need the right materials at the right place and time to complete production without holding unnecessary inventory. This becomes difficult when production plans, bills of materials, stock balances and supplier orders are maintained in separate systems.

A production team may schedule a work order without checking component availability. Purchase may order materials already available in another warehouse. Sales may confirm a delivery date without considering production capacity or supplier lead time.

ERPLax MRP ERP Software — custom MRP Software for Manufacturers — connects demand, materials, purchasing, production and inventory through one system. When demand changes, planners can review its effect on raw-material requirements, production orders and supplier schedules.

Demand → Sales Orders & Forecasts
BOM Explosion → Material Requirements
Net Requirement → Purchase or Production
Planner Review → Approval
Execution → Purchase, Issue & Production
Monitor → Shortages & Delays
Definition

What Is MRP Software?

What materials are required?
How much of each material?
When should it be available?
Master Production Schedule
Bills of Materials & Lead Times

MRP Software is a manufacturing planning system used to calculate the raw materials and components required to complete a production plan — functioning as ERP for Material Requirements Planning. MRP stands for Material Requirements Planning.

It answers three practical questions: what materials are required, how much of each material is required, and when each material should be available.

Based on master production schedules, orders, forecasts, BOMs, inventory and lead times, an MRP System for Manufacturing identifies shortages and suggests supply actions — purchasing, producing subassemblies, transferring stock, rescheduling or using an approved substitute.

Process

How Does an MRP System Work?

1

Collect Demand

Sales orders, forecasts, branch requirements and internal production requests gathered.

2

Review Finished-Goods Availability

Current, reserved, quality-hold and in-transit stock checked.

3

Calculate Production Requirements

Quantity needed to manufacture is calculated when stock can't fulfil demand.

4

Explode the Bill of Materials

Subassemblies, components and raw materials calculated through every BOM level.

5

Check Material Availability

Gross requirements compared with stock, POs, allocations and safety stock.

6

Calculate Net Requirements

The actual shortage identified for each material.

7

Apply Lead Times & Order Rules

Supplier/production lead time, MOQ, batch size and safety days applied.

8

Generate Planning Recommendations

Purchase requisitions, production orders, transfers or rescheduling suggested.

9

Review, Approve & Monitor

Planners approve suggestions; the ERP tracks execution against the plan.

Why It Matters

Why Manufacturers Need MRP ERP Software

Ten reasons manufacturers move from spreadsheet planning to a connected MRP system.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

MRP Software is a manufacturing planning system that calculates which raw materials and components are required, how much is needed and when each item should be available for production.

An MRP system normally uses customer demand, sales forecasts, bills of materials, available stock, reserved inventory, open purchase orders, production orders, lead times and safety-stock rules.

MRP focuses mainly on material and production planning. ERP connects MRP with wider business functions such as sales, purchasing, inventory, finance, CRM, HRM and reporting.

MRP calculates material requirements. MRP II, or Manufacturing Resource Planning, extends planning to machines, labour, capacity, production costs and other manufacturing resources.

Yes. Production Scheduling Software can organize work by plant, machine, work centre, shift, product, priority and required date.

Capacity planning can be configured to compare planned production hours with available machines, work centres, employees and shifts.

Yes. Contract-manufacturing and job-work workflows can track material issues, expected receipts, completed quantity, rejection and pending balances.

Yes. The system can compare planned and actual scrap, process loss, by-products, recoverable material and rework.

Yes. Production cost can include raw materials, labour, machine time, subcontracting, scrap, rework and configured overheads.

Yes. MRP Software for Small Business can begin with BOMs, inventory, purchase planning and production orders, with advanced features added later.

Yes. ERPLax can provide Cloud MRP Software for centralized and multi-location access, with on-premise deployment also available.

Barcode, QR code, RFID, weighing-scale, machine and IoT integrations can be evaluated according to device compatibility and available interfaces.

Yes. Authorized planners can review and adjust suggested quantities, dates, suppliers or supply methods before creating operational orders.

No. MRP calculates requirements using configured data and rules. Planners should review recommendations, exceptions and business priorities before approval.

MRP accuracy depends on the quality of BOMs, inventory balances, demand data, lead times, open orders and planning rules. Regular data review is essential.

Yes. The modular approach allows businesses to start with BOM, MRP, inventory and purchasing before adding advanced production, finance, CRM or HRM.
