Raw Material Requirement Planning

Raw Material Planning becomes most crucial part of any project management process. We need to first of all understand the following before we start our planning & execution process:

1.) The total raw material available in store/inventory

2.) The total raw material required for execution of current projects

3.) The total raw material required for execution of upcoming projects




Most of the ERPs/SAP have some methods to calculate or consolidate raw material required for various projects running simultaneously. In most of the cases OEMs use the excel Bill Of Materials for planning the same manually. The challenging part becomes when the planning process goes wrong & it is realized that :

1.) The ordered raw material is very less compared to the actual requirement
2.) A wrong item has been ordered 
3.) The item ordered can't be used in any current or upcoming projects.



This creates a complete chaos & effects our complete project delivery !!!

BOM Creator with unique raw material calculation method during the Engineering/Design phase gives a boost to overall planning process & further also helps reduce errors in Bill Of Materials. Now the complete raw materials can be planned even before the manufacturing drawings are released. This actual saves a lot of time & TIME IS MONEY !!!

3D CAD-SAP/ERP Integration

In todays age more than 80% of Machine building MSMEs (SMEs) have some kind of ERP & PDM/PLM system in place for a smooth communication between the major stack holders. Also for easy planning & execution of any given projects.                   Lets first of all understand the way any machine building OEM works.                   Any project begins with a basic RFQ (Request For Quotation) , wherein the Sales/Marketing team shares the requirement & specifications to all the important stake holders of the organization. The major stack holders apart from Sales/Marketing are Engineering, Store, Planning, Production, Quality, Purchase, Logistics & Service . Each department quotes the required time of execution from their respective end with respect to the requirements or specifications. For example Engineering shares the time required for preparing & releasing the manufacturing drawings & Bill Of Materials from the date of receiving the Purchase Order. Planning

Manufacturing & Purchase Lead Time

Image
Production, Planning & Control process involves raw material inventory management, raising a purchase request in case of shortage of raw material , & planning of new or upcoming projects. When we plan the project lead time of manufacturing & purchase items plays a very crucial role. Every manufacturing component has its own manufacturing lead time like let's say if we release of component manufacturing drawing today it may take 3 days time to get fabricated or manufactured some other may take as long as 2 weeks or 3 weeks time. Similarly let's say if we raise a purchase request for a particular Bought Out Part it may get delivered in 4 weeks time or 6 weeks time.  For a smooth manufacturing process we need to ensure the long lead items are planned first , average lead time components next & least lead time at the end. For the effective planning & execution process BOM Creator helps you categories the manufacturing/hardware/BOP items as High/Medium/Low . The

SaaS- Software as a Service : It is a type of model where a software is delivered as a license on a subscription basis.  SaaS became a common delivery model for many business applications, including  office software ,  messaging software , payroll processing software,  DBMS software , management software,  CAD software , development software,  gamification ,  virtualization ,  accounting ,  collaboration ,  customer relationship management  (CRM),  management information systems  (MIS),  enterprise resource planning  (ERP) , invoicing, field service management,  human resource management  (HRM),  talent acquisition ,  learning management systems ,  content management  (CM),  geographic information systems  (GIS), and  service desk management . Some of the examples in manufacturing industries are CAD softwares for desiging & detailing of drawings, CRM software, ERP, Office Suites etc. for building a better interdepartmental communication. These softwares have some or the other w
