Satisfy Customer Requirements While Maintaining Optimal Inventory Levels
Generate time-phased plans for optimal inventory availability. Reduce inventory, improve customer service, and avoid shortages and stock-out scenarios that result in costly rush orders. DRP enables wholesale distributors to set and maintain stock levels with a consolidated view of demand in user-defined time buckets with recommended actions based on supply and demand transactions or forecasts.
DRP DISPLAY
- Manage by exception to identify what needs to be purchased, transferred, or assembled from a single screen.
- All supply and demand can be viewed from a centralized location.
- Purchase, transfer, and kit assembly orders are created directly from this screen.
FULL REGENERATION
- Schedule inventory plan regeneration to run anytime.
- All existing planned orders for all items are eliminated.
- DRP starts over, calculating gross and net requirements. It then replans the required inventory to be purchased or transferred.
EXCEPTION MESSAGES
- Know which orders to move-in or move-out when demand changes.
- Identify orders that should be cancelled when they are no longer required.
- Expedite orders for inventory items that have demand within vendor lead times.
