What's the rule of thumb for MRP... 98% accuracy for your inventory and
BOMs
I would also suggest you pickup Dave Turbide's MAPICS planning and
production control books available at www.daveturbide.com --- Dave also
lurks about this group from time to time.

Hello Group,
We are about to turn on the MRP module in Mapics. I was hoping you
experts could give some advice on what you would do differently if you
could start from scratch, any pointers on how to set up items, work
centers, buyers, planners, etc.
We are currently at Release 6 but will be turning this on with a Release
7 upgrade within the next 6 weeks (plan). Essentials w/EPDM-we are
using Mapics Browser-soon to be PowerLink.
I realize this is a really broad question, any ideas are appreciated.
About us:
Our company (one company), one uncontrolled warehouse. We have 3
distinct departments for production and buying. GL is set up with the
departments as 1000, 2000 and 3000. We have less than 30 workcenters,
one buyer-one planner for each dept.
We are about 50% make to stock and 50% engineer to order.
Thanks in advance!
Teresa
