"Witwood’s production planning process used to be very dependent on the experience and knowledge of individual managers. Sanderson’s MRP module has allowed us to build this experience and knowledge into a “best practice” system that delivers consistent results every time.
We now have a greater degree of control over Finished Goods stock levels, with decisions whether to make stocks of particular products being based on agreed parameters that we have set up within the MRP system. This ensures that we achieve our targeted customer service levels, without carrying excessive stocks. Since MRP stock levels move in line with the demand on the business, we can be sure that we have the right product in stock at the right time.
We have always been able to provide good service levels to our customers, but the MRP module has enabled us to increase service levels yet further. Furthermore, we are achieving this without any last minute panics that could have a knock on effect with other customers.
MRP is also giving a financial payback. Activity on planning production has reduced from two people working 10 hours a day to one person working 4 – 6 hours. In having such good control of stocks, we have minimised the working capital tied up in the business.”
