We have a report that shows firmed orders that MRP reccommends be rescheduled.
We then are using people like clerks to obey those reccommendations.

I suggested we consider a program to automate this clerical work, that would
not do it when the reccommended date would be past due.

Now we'd run MRP to get the reccommendations down a level,
run the automated corrections program,
run the MRP again
until no corrections left to do
& there would have to be an audit trail because perhaps some of the
corrections should not have been done.

Our MRP is by facility & takes no time at all ... CAP takes a bit longer &
cost rollup takes over an hour..
