Hi Community,
We are planning to implement and execute the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) setup for a specific site in our company using IFS Applications 10.
As an Industrial Engineer, I am well-versed in the theoretical concepts, but this will be my first time executing the practical application within IFS. I need your experience to ensure the process runs smoothly and generates accurate purchase/production proposals.
Could you please share your suggestions on the following topics?
-
Data Preparation: Apart from Safety Stock, Lead Times, and Planning Methods (A, B, etc.), what are the "must-check" essential parameters on the "Inventory Part > Planning" tab?
-
Calendars: What is the impact of Distribution and Manufacturing calendars on MRP? What kind of issues can an incorrect calendar setup cause?
-
Structure Levels: Is it necessary to run a specific background job to calculate structure levels (Low Level Codes) before running the MRP?
-
Common Pitfalls: What are the points that are usually overlooked during the initial implementation that lead to incorrect MRP results?
I would appreciate any checklists or shared experiences regarding this subject.
Thanks in advance.
