Al,

Immediately after completion of planning (MPS/MRP/DRP) there should be an entry in KFP for any (system planned) item with a potential shortage. I guess that would imply that all other items have adequate or possibly excess inventory. For those items I would start by looking at (IIM allocations + KMR requirements) vs stock on hand as a starting point. Timing may be key because if orders have been released after planning and before this analysis, you could have the allocation plus the KMR. Probably need to filter out any phantoms, inventories less than safety stock, and inventories less than $X. Also want to identify planned excess - that is the value attributable to safety stock.

Regards, Larry Costain

Subject: [BPCS-L] 405CD Inventory MRP not need



Are there fields in IIM IWI ILI showing how much needed for MRP?
Is one of the MRP K* files complete, showing ALL inventory needed? If so, I
ould do a no-match of any inventory we have which is not in MRP needs.
It looks to me like MRP K* files show inventory needed, which we do not
lready have.
We have safety stock by facility, and other complications.
We have reports showing inventory on-hand which has not been used in
roduction or sales for many months, but excess inventory orphaned in
ngineering changes is not being rapidly detected. I had this idea of
nother way to identify potential excess inventory.
We are on 405CD.
