Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

Your Factory’s Central Nervous System

Manufacturo’s MRP app answers a critical question: Do you have what you need, when you need it, to deliver on time?

By comparing demand from your Master Schedule with available supply—across every BOM level, Site, Pedigree and Project—Manufacturo transforms disconnected data into a single, actionable plan. It continuously aligns product configurations, lead times, and inventory with production schedules to keep your operation in sync.

With dynamic recalculations, centralized control, and full integration across planning and execution, the MRP engine helps teams prevent shortages, reduce delays, and optimize procurement and production.

The Risk of Disconnected Planning

Without a unified MRP system, manufacturers face: 

  • Inventory shortages or excess due to outdated or fragmented data 
  • Inaccurate schedules that delay production or inflate procurement 
  • Static planning that fails to adjust for BOM changes or demand shifts 
  • No visibility into multilevel assemblies, dependencies, or true material readiness

Key Features of the MRP App

Calendar icon with two blue dots and four gray dots, next to a purple circle with a white clock face. Represents scheduling in manufacturing execution systems.
Dynamic Demand Planning
  • Compare the Master Schedule demand to real-time supply 
  • Plan multilevel assemblies and generate Clear-To-Build indicators 
  • Include Safety Stock calculations where required 
  • Ensure every Purchase Order will include the Re-Order points 
Three grey rectangular boxes with horizontal lines inside, connected by colored arrows representing a sequence or workflow in manufacturing execution.
Live Master Schedule Control
  • Build, and adjust Master Schedules across Products, Projects, or Sites 
  • Configure by due date, quantity, Pedigree, Customer and Project 
  • Built-in validation prevents errors like circular references

Data-Driven Procurement & Work Order Generation
  • Automatically generate planned Work Orders and Purchase Orders based on inventory, lead times, Safety Stocks and Re-Order points 
  • Include BOM substitutes and delay tolerances in each run 
  • Optional future support for dynamic lead time updates via API 
Outline icon showing a gear segment with curved lines emanating to nodes, symbolizing integration and connectivity in manufacturing processes.
Smart MRP Run Engine
  • Run calculations by Site, Pedigree, Project, or debug mode in seconds 
  • Exclude inactive or misconfigured products without halting the run 
  • Supports simulation and iterative planning based on make/buy logic 
  • Exclude selected Inventory Locations from the MRP Run

Control Tower Reporting
  • Visualize demand status, dependencies, and production readiness 
  • Drill into suggested actions by Product, Pedigree, or Project 
  • Easily track open actions and prioritize material releases 
  • Chech the fulfillment by each Project 
  • Analyze all BOM levels demand to ensure you are ready to release the Work or Purchase Order 
  • Check the MRP health and fix issues that may affect the MRP Run 
  • Verify Orphan Inventory, Purchase and Work orders to avoid unnecessary effort
