This webinar delves into the features of Epicor’s Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module within their Kinetic ERP system. The core function of this system is to balance supply and demand within a manufacturing business by analyzing various “signals” like sales orders, forecasts, and inventory levels.
Based on this analysis, the system generates suggestions for purchase orders, job orders, and transfers, which users can then firm up to ensure materials are available when needed and production schedules are aligned with requirements. The presentation highlights how various settings and configurations, from site-level controls to specific part details, allow businesses to fine-tune the MRP process and reduce unnecessary suggestions by automating decisions based on established rules and parameters.
