Transform raw inventory orders into finished goods utilizing structured Material Requirements Planning (MRP) cycles. Set capacity parameters across casting workstations, benches, and assembly centers.
1. Work Center Setup
Register workstations with specific shifts, efficiency ratings, and capacity limits. Work center setups compute labor rates and routing schedules for automated order logs.
| Work Center | Avg Capacity (Hours/Day) | Shift Rotations | Efficiency Rating (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melting & Casting Bay | 16 hrs | 2 Rotations | 95.00% |
| Sprue Cutting Bench | 8 hrs | 1 Rotation | 98.00% |
| Finishing & Polishing | 24 hrs | 3 Rotations | 90.00% |
| Robotic Quality Check | 24 hrs | Continuous | 99.99% |
2. Setting Up MRP Requisition Cycles
MRP planning runs calculate target production orders based on order volumes and safety stock levels. System triggers automatically compile purchase requisitions when parts stocks dip below safety points.
Automated MRP scheduling eliminates production bottlenecks. Connecting work center logs to materials ledgers cuts manual planning cycles by over 70%.
3. Gantt Scheduling Integration
Production schedules display on an interactive Gantt chart. Drag-and-drop actions let managers allocate tasks to alternate machines if maintenance flags are triggered, preventing assembly lines bottlenecks.
