Bills of materials, routings and work orders; see production ahead of time with material requirements planning and capacity visibility.
MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is a planning method that calculates which materials are needed, in what quantity and when, based on sales orders and forecasts. MRP II and ERP add capacity, cost and finance to this calculation.
The Eruca ERP Production and Planning module is built on multi-level bills of materials and routings. When an order comes in, net material requirements are calculated by subtracting stock and open orders, and purchase suggestions are created for shortages. Work orders are scheduled according to work center capacity; material issues, scrap, quality control and finished goods receipts are recorded from the shop floor in real time. Actual cost is calculated from materials, labor and overhead and posted to accounting.
Multi-level BOMs, alternative materials and versions.
Operation sequences, durations and work center capacities.
Make-to-order or make-to-stock; material issue and finished goods receipt.
Net requirements based on orders and stock, with purchase suggestions.
Scrap recording per operation, plus quality control steps.
Actual cost calculation from materials, labor and overhead.
Work center load and bottlenecks on a calendar; work orders are rescheduled with drag and drop.
Tracking of materials sent to subcontractors, returned finished goods and subcontracting cost.
Each step inherits the previous step's data; nothing is entered twice, and every transition is logged.
Manufacturers working with multi-level bills of materials and operation routings.
Make-to-order companies with style, color and size variants.
Recipe-based production where lot tracking and quality control are mandatory.
Businesses where subcontracting, semi-finished goods and capacity planning are critical.
MRP only calculates material requirements: what is needed, how much and when. ERP includes MRP and unifies all business processes, such as sales, procurement, inventory, accounting and human resources, in a single system.
The semi-finished goods and raw materials that make up the finished product are defined level by level, with their quantities. Eruca ERP also stores alternative materials and BOM versions; changes are saved as a new version.
It is calculating how much work the work centers, meaning machines and crews, can handle in a given period and sequencing work orders accordingly. That way, the delivery date you give the customer is realistic.
Actual material consumption, labor time and overhead allocated to work centers are added up to find the true cost per work order, which is then compared with the standard cost.
Operators start the work order from a shop floor screen or tablet and record material issues, scrap and completion. Barcode entries update production status in real time.
