Material Demand Planning - Enterprise Resource Planning - ERP

Material Demand Planning Management

Effective material management is critical for the uninterrupted and efficient progress of production processes.

Konektom ERP's Material Demand Planning (MTP) Module automatically calculates material requirements based on recipe-based production plans and stock levels. Demands are created by taking into account production recipes, MRP data and stock status, and it works fully integrated with purchasing and stock management processes. Thus, unnecessary stock accumulation is prevented and critical materials are supplied on time.

The system, which operates with full automation, ensures the supply of materials in accordance with the production plan, evaluates supplier performance and performs stock optimization. In this way, purchasing processes are accelerated and delays in production are prevented.

Request Approval Mechanism & Authorization Processes
Created material requests are subject to approval according to the determined authorization levels. Unnecessary or incorrect requests are prevented by ensuring control through authorization mechanisms during the request process.

Budget Compliance Controls
Cost control is achieved by analyzing whether material demands are within the determined budget. In this way, unnecessary expenses are prevented and the most cost-effective material supply for production processes is directed.

Demand Management Based on Supplier Stock Status
The most appropriate supplier selection is made by analyzing the stock levels of suppliers and alternative suppliers are suggested. When stock deficiencies are detected, risk analyses are performed and the smooth progress of the supply process is ensured.

Transaction History & Automatic Notifications
All material request processes are recorded in the system and a transaction history is created. With automatic notifications, the relevant teams are instantly informed about the status of the requests, approval processes and supply changes.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) & Order Management

In order for production processes to continue without interruption, material requirements are automatically calculated by taking into account production plans, recipe contents and stock levels. MRP integration optimizes stock costs by ensuring that materials are supplied at the right time and in the right quantity. Automatic demands are created for critical materials by determining minimum and maximum stock levels, thus preventing delays in production processes due to material shortages.

MRP Operation Integrated with Production Recipe (BOM)
Material demands are determined according to the components defined in the production recipe (BOM) and operated in integration with MRP. In this way, the use of the correct material is ensured at each production stage.

Master Production Plan (MPS) Integration
MRP processes work in integration with the master production plan (MPS) to determine the material requirements appropriate to the production capacity. Thus, optimum material management is ensured without keeping excess stock.

Creating Requests According to Minimum-Maximum Stock Levels
Stock levels in the warehouse and production area are analyzed and automatic requests are created for materials that reach critical levels. Thus, stock shortages or excess material accumulation are prevented.

Demand Pool Management & Prioritization
Material demands are planned according to priority and materials required for critical production processes are supplied first. Thus, production is carried out uninterruptedly and efficiently.

Using Order History & Planning Data
Material planning is done with more accurate estimates by analyzing past orders and production data. Automatic identification of repetitive demands in production reduces the need for manual operations.

Material Ordering According to Production Schedule
Material orders are given on time by taking the production schedule into consideration and stock costs are optimized. In this way, harmony is achieved between supply processes and production.

Transaction History & Automatic Notifications
All material requirement planning processes are recorded in the system and a transaction history is created. With automatic notifications, stock and purchasing teams are instantly informed of demand changes.

Stock & Production Demand Management

Automatic demand mechanisms are used to ensure timely and complete supply of raw materials and auxiliary materials in production processes. Production orders, recipe contents and stock levels are analyzed and the required materials are determined with the Just in Time (JIT) approach. Thanks to the integration of MRP and MPS, production and stock balance is achieved, preventing excess stock accumulation and material shortages.
