5. Manufacturing resource planning in eresource
MRP II or Manufacturing Resource Planning by itself is the original modality of what we know
now as ERP, and covered materials planning. This is part of eresource's ERP solution.
MRP II is one of the evolution stages of eresource ERP and covers all the resources in a
manufacturing company, with the additional ability to manage "what if" situations.
MRP II module in eresource ERP helps to maintain a neat agenda for the manner in which the
resources are to be allocated without any confusion.
The interacting functions considered for this model are: Commercial Planning, Sales, Master
Production Scheduling, Materials Resource Planning (MRP) and support systems for Capacity
and Materials Execution.
There is a scheduling capability within the heart of the solution that concentrates on the
resources, such as the plant and equipment required to convert the raw materials into finished
goods. The advantages of this development are that detailed plans can be put to the shop floor
and can be reported on by operation, which offers much tighter control over the plant.
For Companies assembling end items from Components produced in batch manufacturing
processes, MRP is central to the development of detailed plans for part needs. It is often where
companies start in developing their MPC systems. Facility with time-phased planning and the
associated time-phased records is basic to understanding many other aspects of the MPC
system. Finally, although introduction of JIT and investment in lean manufacturing processes
have brought about fundamental changes in detailed material planning for some firms,
companies continue to adapt the MRP approach or enhance their existing systems
Eresource ERP helps you reduce the inventory material investment and improve productivity
and customers by getting the right product at the right time to meet the schedules. Eresource
MRP provides formal plans for each part number, wheter raw material, component, or finished
good. With the MRP activity in eresource, you can make purchasing and production-scheduling
decision based on real-time circumstances.

MRP provides you up-to-date item statistics, including on-hand quantities, current purchase

MASTER PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
Eresource MPS is the plan that a company has developed for production, inventory, staffing,
etc. It sets the quantity of each end item to be completed in each week of a short-range
planning horizon. A Master Production Schedule is the master of all schedules. It is a plan for
future production of end items
The eresource Master Production Schedule gives production, planning, purchasing, and top
management the information needed to plan and control the manufacturing operation. The
application ties overall business planning and forecasting to detail operations through the
Master Production Schedule.

and inline orders in just one screen.
The Production schedule in eresource can also be viewed in graphical form, as displayed
below.

8. BILL-OF-MATERIALS.
The bill of material (BOM) is an instrument for describing the structure of a product for any of the
following production types:
• Repetitive manufacturing
• Manufacturing products with variants
• Process manufacturing
• Make-to-order production
In eresource, you can also maintain bills of materials for sales orders, projects, equipment, and
documents.
Four forms of the basic BOM are supported in Production Planning and Control (PP). They
may be created at any time by extending a simple BOM:

9. • Simple BOM --- one rigidly defined bill of material associated with one
material
• Multiple BOM --- a set of bill of materials describing each of several different
production processes, constituents, or relative quantities of components, all of
which produce the same material. There several ways of making the same thing.
• One time BOM —a bill of material for a specific sales order that is used in make-
to-order production.
• Configurable BOM - a bill of material that is configured automatically on the
basis of logical links. It is used for complex variant structures or process-
dependent BOM configuration in continuous flow production.
Data for MRP is inherited from the BOM. The standard BOM in eresource captures Ingredient
information with standard consumption, wastage, overage and gross consumption.
BOM can be further configured or changed on the basis of order.

10. MRP I & MRP II in Eresource
Eresource Enterprise Solution promises you to connect your whole organization, all your
branches, all business functions, all departments, all machines under a common system.
Eresource ERP for manufacturing comprises all business functions including, purchase and
supplier management, sales and material management, warehouse management, production
management, finance and accounting management, HR management, customer management,
inventory management etc...
In manufacturing, the most critical is managing the inventory. In Material requirement planning
the most critical is MRP MRP II and I.
MRP I that means Material requirement planning. MRP II that means manufacturing resource
planning.
MRP I for eresource it means what material is required, how much it is required, when it is
required. And MRP II it means what product needs to be produced, how much is needed to be
produced and when it is needed to be produced.
After the Production Plan in eresource is Executed, the next step is the Batch Plan or Getting
the order in the line of production. Below image depicts the transaction of Batch Plan.

Planning
Supplier Operations
The data for sales and operation management comes from resource planning and demand
management. Demand management is refers to sales forecast and planning of resource.
Now on the bases of sales and production management there is a master production schedule
is created. From master production schedule there is detailed material & capacity planning. And
from detailed material planning finally there is supplier operation. By supplier operation we refer
to procurement process.
Do I need of Master schedule Planning? And why master schedule planning in eresource ERP?
A very critical and important reason is I am willingness to produce 10000 no. of X items. But
whether or not I am capable to produce this system will help you out.
On the bases of this parameter system generates your master production is schedule. Now in
the master production schedule again these are some different parameters which check
whether schedule is engaged or not.
On the bases of all these parameters master productions schedule is created. In addition, from
both of these parameters you have a detailed material and capacity planning. By material we

12. refer to MRP I that is, material requirement planning that says what material is required, how
much and when it is required. From master production schedule we refer to MRP II that is
manufacturing resource planning that says what product is need to be produced, how much and
when it is need to be produced.
Finally, out of these parameters you have supplier operation which is your procurement
operation.
So, that is how MRP I & MRP II in eresource work.

14. Benefits of MRP Manufacturing Requirements Planning
The MRP system outputs a variety of information that can be used by the company, both for the
planning side and the management side of the factory operations. These outputs include order
release notices for the placement of orders that may have been planned by the MRP simulator
system.
• Minimize manufacturing cost and increase of resource utilization
• Cut down production bottlenecks
• On-time delivery performance
• Transparent operational control
The basic function of MRP system includes inventory control, bill of material processing and
elementary scheduling. MRP helps organizations to maintain low inventory levels. It is used to
plan manufacturing, purchasing and delivering activities.
