I’m trying to pinpoint why demand for a specific part in our system is fluctuating from day to day with no input changes other than the occasional order entry. We have a customer that takes 1,000 units (per forecast). As I’m still only 2 months into using IFS I’m trying to make sure I understand this properly in regards to flow:-Customer sends forecast-Planner enters forecast into system for finished unit-Forecast drives supply side to enter purchase orders which then show as system supply-Customer sends an actual order to fulfill-Planner enters the order in the system which should then reduce the forecast (ie. order is for 200 units so June demand should drop to 800 with the hard order for 200)-Nowhere should the demand fluctuate for a given part just so no orders are made in excess of the actual forecastNow I may be misunderstanding this but since I started here I’ve been monitoring IFS reports daily to try and pinpoint where there are opportunities to understand the system better.
We have a part that we have set as obsolete (customer no longer with us) but IFS keeps generating purchase req’s daily for my buyer. I’ve used IFS all of 4 weeks and I have yet to find the fix. Any thoughts?
