Supply Analysis Module
One of the most critical and time-consuming aspects of manufacturing is managing the task of maintaining sufficient amounts of raw materials and components at all times. Product supply is based on inventory stock levels, open purchase orders, lead times and components required.
The AMS Supply Analysis module helps manage the material requirement planning process. The module simplifies and speeds up the work processes of purchasing by analysing component demand and taking into account lead times for an inventory item.
With the supply analysis module users can produce reports based on “action by” date to advise the purchasing manager which orders need to be placed, and can also raise purchase orders into the accounting system.
It also has the ability to analyse one or more production runs for shortages and requirements and recommend purchasing, building or reserving the components in accordance with ordering lead times and requirement dates.
Production runs can be analysed for sub-assemblies that need to be built before completing the final products.
The AMS interacts with the purchasing process of the accounting system to the extent that deliveries can be automatically issued to the appropriate production run.
