Proof of Concept
Perhaps you are now wondering why am I so sure that such a new kind of MRP function and mechanism could work in ERP systems in the way I describe? The answer is because I have tested it in an ERP in a working production environment. Thanks to a client where I implemented an ERP system in the past, I have had the opportunity to build a pilot program. And it does exactly what I have described above.
All intermediate and final results of this new kind of MRP calculation are recorded in detail for all requesting orders as well as supplying stock and orders. Everything I have indicated regarding analysis and reporting possibilities with such a new kind of MRP function turned out to be possible, detailed useful information is truly ‘available’.
