“We did a small market research because there are an infinite number of tools, and we made the decision to go with you and the applications that you proposed to usafter visiting another SmarterMRP user, a Pharmaceutical lab similar to us that had advanced its problems with your tool, and we saw that it solved itand we decided to apply it to us with our adaptations and our problems.”
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does SmarterMRP handle formulations and batches?
Formulas, substitutes and batch sizes live in one master data model. Each production order is linked to its demand and BOM, and the stock lots assigned to it, so you know what goes into each batch before it's made.
How does SmarterMRP manage production versions?
Each product can have several validated versions of its formula and process, specific to a client or valid for a given period. The plan uses the right version for each order, and every change is recorded along with who approved it. Because SmarterMRP is built on Mendix low-code, the selection rules can be tailored to your plant, for example to choose a version by batch size.
How does it help with audits and regulation?
Every change to a recipe or BOM is recorded, along with who validated it, and every purchase can be traced back to the order and demand it serves.
How does it plan when raw materials vary?
It forecasts demand and plans purchasing with alternative suppliers and materials, so a shortage of one input doesn't stop production.
How does SmarterMRP work with my ERP?
Your ERP stays and keeps recording transactions. SmarterMRP uses its data to plan formulas, batches, production and purchasing, and sends the resulting orders back to it.
Which companies use SmarterMRP?
FAES FARMA uses SmarterMRP. In the testimonial on this page, its IT Corporate Director, Jaime López, says the team did a small market research and visited another SmarterMRP user, a pharmaceutical lab similar to theirs. They saw it solved its problems and applied SmarterMRP with their own adaptations.
