Supply Chain Management Service

MAPS knows a lot about supply chain management, ERP, capacity requirement planning, product configurator, MRPII, and business reengineering issues.

MAPS supply chain management and product configurator consultants will tune your company up to nowadays unpredictable markets. We have gone a long way since the day MRP (Material Requirement Planning) was introduced, as a new mechanism to calculate what and when materials were needed and in what optimal quantities. At that time ERP and product configurator systems were not even conceived. Later, ERP systems were developed and MRP eventually evolved in MRPII (Manufacturing Resource Planning), adding new force-multipliers such as:

• Long range planning
• Capacity requirement planning
• Master scheduling
• Rough cut capacity requirement planning
• Detailed capacity requirement planning
• Shop floor control

Supply chain management is the final evolution: by linking an ERP powerful features such as finance, forecasting, sales order analysis, MRPII programs, and a product configurator to proper capacity requirement planning tools, the whole value chain of operations can be optimised, costs and delivery time can be reduced.

Supply chain management, with MRPII and product configurator modules, offers these advantages:

• High system integration
• Decision sharing (as for example Vendor Management Inventory)
• B2B (Business-to-business framework)
• IPE (Inter-enterprise process engineering) architecture
• Resource sharing

• Analyse your requirements for ERP and product configurator customisation
• Understand your needs to run a MRPII within a supply chain
