57Dear Experts,
Im facing a challenge in configuring MRP for one of my client.
My client is producing Machining components which consists of several operations. Operations like Cutting, Sizing , Machining etc. These operations are done at Subcontractor and Inhouse also. we have created item codes operation wise. because we need to send this material to subcontractor and we have inspection at the end of each operation. Client wants to understand inventory at each operations.
My client purchases Raw Materials and this raw material is send to Subcontractor A for Cutting and received back. After Inspection accepted quantity is send to Subcontractor B for Sizing operation and Received back. After Inspection it is moved to In House for Drilling purpose.
Now we have output capacity for each operations for example in a day 30 nos can be cut, 20nos can be sized and 12 nos can be drilled.
Suppose my plan for the month is 300nos and when i run MRP, System takes first 10 days for cutting operations and Next 15 days for Sizing operation and next 25 days for Inhouse operation. Ie in total we need 50 days is required for production.
But our client transfers the 30nos of material to subcontracts on second day itself and on third day inhouse operation will be started. thereby entire process will be completed in 27 days.
There is a huge difference in planning. Do let me know how do we configure this requirement in MRP.
Thanks
