subject: Re: [BPCS-L] Safety stock
What makes sense & is practical varies with BPCS version. We're 405 CD.
It also varies with our understanding of ERP theory, and the needs of our
company.
Over the years, our inventory accuracy has improved, thanks to a variety of
actions, more management directed than within BPCS, but we will never be
satisfied until our inventory is 100% accurate, we have no past due, our
total inventory $ value seems reasonable, and Cost of Sales seems to agree
with management expectations. None of those are true yet.
Some years ago, upper management speculated that a possible cause of
inventory inaccuracy might be scrap under-reported, and a possible solution
would be to add a 2% yield (change 100% yield to 102%) for certain purchased
material classes. Over time the % and classes have changed. It is now 8%
in 4 classes. I have programs for mass updates, so that when management
policies change, they can be rapidly implemented.
The impact is to consume more inventory via labor back flushing than the BOM
calls for, increase what we need to order from our vendors, increase both
standard cost rolled up and actual cost of what BPCS consumes..
.
In my opinion, this has nothing to do with safety stock.

I have a notion that I can use the yield factor to build safety stocks! Does
this sound far fetched. It looks like if I do this everything will still be
cost properly and back flushed ok. What's the danger?

subject: [BPCS-L] Invoicing
Hi All,
I am trying to configure my invoicing model to take care of exchange rate
differences. Is there a macro that compares the exchange rate during receipt
against the exchange rate during invoicing? If there is, how to I go about
it.
Thanks and Regards,
Isaac Ayeh Antwi

subject: Re: [BPCS-L] Safety stock
If you study MRP, there is an order policy code system where you can have
different rules for different parts.
Example: a customer part has seasonal demand. As the season approaches, you
stock up on extra inventory, based on MRP using the order policy code
formula to create safety stock of some number of weeks extra supply. Then
as the season ends, the safety stock goes back to zero.
We use minimum balance for safety stock on selected items, mainly end
customer parts where we have a contract with the customer for us to be able
to ship them whatever quantity they ask for the same day they ask for it,
but if they cancel using that part, then they will pay us for all that we
have in the pipeline of that part.
A significant problem for us is that many employees pay no attention to MRP.
They manufacture based on what the customer orders call for, ignoring the
minimum balance requirement. MRP does not ignore it. This contributes to
our past due, since the safety stock is supposed to compensate for the
customer lead time violations.

If you are running MPS/MRP, the assumption is that you will only put into
inventory the quantity based on the yield.
When you put more into inventory and then run the planning, you will receive
messages to cut back planning because you have more inventory.
Why not use the minimum balance?
