Solution · Production and materials planning
SmarterMRP enables integrated production and material planning, connecting demand with real resources and available inventory. No spreadsheets, no ERP dependency and no last-minute surprises.
WHY IT MATTERS
Planning is not simply generating orders: it is defining a viable way for the factory to run well. In many plants, plans are drawn up on outdated data, rules of thumb or unrealistic assumptions: fictitious capacities, standard times that are not met or bills of materials that don't reflect reality.
The result? Unfulfilled plans, improvised decisions and conflicts between areas. SmarterMRP brings connected, dynamic and transparent planning, based on real data, rules tailored to your plant and an operating model that reflects what you can really do.
And if you already have sequencing or APS systems in place, even better: SmarterMRP feeds them with coherent plans aligned with plant reality, so they run faster, with more accuracy, fewer adjustments and greater reliability.
FEATURES
A solid production plan is useless if you don't have what you need to execute it.
Integration
Automatically defines what to produce, how much and when, based on demand (forecasts or orders) and available inventory.
Requirements
Determine which raw materials or components you need, in what quantity and by what date, considering consumption per product and other variables.
Automation
Selects the most suitable manufacturing route and bill of materials for each requirement, applying the business rules you define.
Adaptability
Group similar needs together to launch more efficient orders.
SmarterMRP · Production planning
Combine customer orders and stock replenishment in the same plan, following the policy defined for each item.
Detect surplus, obsolete or expired stock and take it into account before planning new orders.
Every order keeps its origin, making audits, decision analysis and continuous improvement easier.
Built different
Production and materials planned together, on the rules of your own plant.
Demand, production and materials are planned together, so every order is feasible before it reaches the floor.
The plan connects natively with the rest of the operation, with no spreadsheets or manual bridging.
Planners work on screens that mirror how the plant actually operates.
Recalculate plans quickly when demand, stock or capacity change.
Adapt the planning logic to your plant through configuration, thanks to the Mendix low-code platform.
WHAT YOU GAIN
Realistic, executable planning from day one.
Drastically reduce conflicts and unplanned changes.
Better use of materials, equipment and people.
Working on the same plan strengthens trust and collaboration between areas.
Every order carries its origin, justification and traceability.
