ManEx Case Solution
Within ManEx, users are able to filter MRP demands by assembly. When the system or user refreshes MRP, it refreshes information for all demands and orders. This increases buyer efficiency by allowing him to purchase for all demands for a given component in a single purchase order. This also increases buying power by increasing the purchase quantity, and minimizes inventory by consolidating demand as much as possible.
Once all purchase orders are placed, buyers can monitor the status of the component orders in the Open PO Status screen. This allows buyers to filter the open orders by buyer, late parts, parts requiring expediting, and by WO* or Project**.
Used in combination with the other materials management tools, these tools make it possible for buyers to order all parts in a timely manner and reduce the need for expediting components.
NE Company is using the MRP to reduce time spent placing orders and has created custom reports to facilitate monitoring individual assemblies. With the addition of filtering MRP by assembly, NE company has been able to effectively monitor each assembly and ensure the purchasing process does not increase the cost of fulfilling the orders.
