Best Practice scenario Predictive Material and Resource Planning (4B5)

Predictive Material and Resource Planning (4B5)

Predictive Material and Resource Planning (pMRP) enables you to create, schedule, and evaluate pMRP simulations that support you in making informed decisions for your production planning.

You can create and schedule pMRP simulations with your top-level demands and resource constraints. During the simulation creation, the system creates simplified data, based on your forecasted product demand and master data for material- and resource-planning, which is used as reference data in pMRP.

After the creation, you can process and evaluate your simulation. The number of capacity issues and a delivery performance KPI are constantly updated to enable you to compare your simulated changes so that you can assess the impact of changes to your simulation.

Finally, after you decide which simulation best fits your production plan, you can take over the resulting component demand and release it to your operational data as planned independent requirements.

Key Process Steps Covered

Create planned independent requirements
Schedule pMRP simulation creation
Evaluate and process pMRP simulations
Check and (if desired) apply changes to planned independent requirements

Benefits

Simulate MRP runs to evaluate impacts of possible changes to production plans
Helps you create optimized production plans by giving the ability to make informed decisions for changes based on the simulations
