Re: Shortage Checking with MRP

Jeff:

The ability to look at on-hand, current "pegged to demand" and future
replenishment orders (shop and purchase orders) is the foundation process of
OTTO, Systems Plus' "bolt-on" for all the popular ERP systems.  To learn
more visit www.systemspluscorp.com and click the "Product Overview" button
on the left.  

Another source of information is Carol Ptak's book "Tools, Techniques and
Applications for Integrating the Supply Chain - Second Edition" St. Lucie
Press, pages 188 through 192.  These pages cover the concepts of Rapid
Priority Management or RPM.  OTTO adheres to the concepts Carol discusses on
these pages.

To discuss RPM and OTTO in more detail please contact me off list.

   Hey Mark,  others...

    

   Any thoughts about checking component availability to move and firm
   planned order, in order to level load, at or around CMLT,  we would like
   to check component availability , but include current peg to demand (from
   MRP's planned orders) , and replenishment order as well (planned) for the
   components...

   I believe OBPM looks at just onhand - hand alloc (open  MOs).   This
works
   well for release checking, but what about moving a planned order in a few
   days, or week, to level load, and firm it.  We'd like to check component
   shortages out 10 - 12 weeks....??  We may be slightly inside CMLT.

    

   Any advise would be welcome

    

   thanks

    

   Jeff Snyder,  CPIM

     We are have been trying to check shortages prior to releasing MO and
are

     looking for suggestions.

     We have tried reviewing availability on the Order Release/Review screen
     by
     selecting sequence numbers then choosing option A.  This works but it
is

     time consuming for our planners to review every item that is
     recommended.

     We have tried running the "Check Item Availability Prior to Release"
     from
     menu AMMM40 (Order/Sechedule Release) but that includes all items, not
     just shortages and generates a 900+ page report.

     Any suggestions on how we could stream line our shortage review prior
to

     releasing MO?  We only want to cut MO's if we have enough material to
     complete the order to simplify our sequencing process, which currently
     requires an availability check.
