MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
UnityF8 MRP (Material Requirements Planning) calculates production and purchasing instructions from a comprehensive array of system information. UnityF8 completely eliminates complex in-house spreadsheets and other ‘individual’ data stores that often contain erroneous data.
Purchasing - raw materials and supplier management

- Purchase vs stocking unit of measure
- Automated price breaks and discount structures
- Purchase price variance reporting
- Supplier performance monitoring.

- Production scheduling – drag-and-drop adjustments
- ‘What-If’ scheduling enquiry
- Review and confirm system generated instructions
- Co-products, by-products and re-work

These functions are complemented by UnityF8 production analysis tools to quickly identify problem areas such as:
