BFG iMRP (formerly BFG MRP) provides the ability to conduct volume-calendar simulations of production.
2022: Opportunities and effects of implementing BFG MRP
BFG MRP is a volumetric planning system that allows you to get answers to the "what happens if?" questions in real time. With it, a feasible balanced production plan is built, plan variants are compared and a schedule for the supply of materials is formed.
Opportunities
According to the information for December 2022, BFG MRP allows:
- Quickly determine the feasibility of the plan and the necessary conditions for its implementation.
- Plan with regard to the availability schedule, coordinate the availability of the plan with the procurement department.
- Determine the required number of personnel.
- Monitor the implementation of the plan at the volumetric level.
- Identify lagging items for orders/products.
- When calculating, take into account WIP as a fact of execution.
- Balance the loads of workers and equipment.
- Plan on "incomplete" NSIs and on the basis of DSE production cycles.
- Quickly determine the required composition of equipment for the plan, taking into account the planned load.
- Evaluate production load.
Implementation effects
According to the developers, the implementation of BFG MRP:
- Reduces rescheduling time by a factor of 10
- Improves the quality of delivery planning by 100%
- Reduces production costs by 50-70%
- Ensures the fulfillment of orders on time by 100%
