- Production Planning -
Plan Production with Confidence
Master scheduling, material requirements planning, and capacity analysis that keep your factory running smoothly. Stop guessing what to build and when. Alpide analyzes sales orders, inventory, BOMs, and capacity to tell you exactly what materials to order and what to produce.
Complete Planning Suite
Three integrated planning tools that work together seamlessly to optimize your production planning and execution.
Integrated Planning Tools
Master Production Schedule (MPS), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) work together seamlessly to optimize your production planning and execution.
Automated BOM Explosion
Automatic BOM explosion to calculate exact material needs. Never run out, never over-order. Process BOMs with unlimited depth and calculate component requirements through all levels automatically.
Master Production Schedule (MPS)
High-level production plan for finished goods. What to make, how many, and when.
MPS Inputs
Sales orders and customer commitments, sales forecasts and demand projections, current inventory levels and safety stock, production capacity constraints.
MPS Features
Planning grid by week or month, drag and drop scheduling, safety stock alerts, inventory projection.
Production Planning
Define what to make, how many, and when based on demand and capacity.
Schedule Management
Create and manage production schedules with visual planning grids.
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
Automatic BOM explosion to calculate exact material needs. Never run out, never over-order.
How MRP Works
Start with MPS: Takes planned production from Master Production Schedule. Explode BOMs: Multi-level explosion through all sub-assemblies and components. Check Inventory: Compares requirements against on-hand and on-order quantities.
MRP Process
Calculate Net Need: Determines what actually needs to be ordered or made. Generate Orders: Creates purchase requisitions and planned production orders.
BOM Explosion
Multi-level explosion through all sub-assemblies and components with proper lead time offsets.
Order Generation
Automatically creates purchase requisitions and planned production orders based on requirements.
Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP)
Validate that you have enough capacity. Identify bottlenecks before they stop production.
Capacity Analysis
Work center load calculations by period, available capacity vs required capacity, over-capacity and under-capacity alerts, bottleneck identification.
What-if Scenario Planning
Test different scenarios to optimize capacity utilization and identify potential issues.
Bottleneck Identification
Identify bottlenecks before they stop production and plan accordingly.
Capacity Optimization
Optimize capacity utilization across all work centers and time periods.
Planning Features
Multi-Level BOM Explosion
Process BOMs with unlimited depth. Calculate component requirements through all levels automatically.
Lead Time Offsetting
Automatic backward scheduling based on component lead times. Order materials at the right time.
Lot Sizing
Intelligent order quantity calculations. Lot-for-lot, fixed quantity, or economic order quantity methods.
