MRP software, or material requirements planning software, directly monitors and provides oversight for a variety of manufacturing facility processes. From receiving materials and ingredients, to production and recipe or process controls, to final goods labeling, shipping, and delivering to customers, MRP software gets the job done for manufacturing centers.
From an inventory standpoint, MRP software seeks to most accurately plan for production without retaining too much on-hand inventory, which is a cost center for manufacturing facilities.
However, not all MRP software offers fully automated control over ingredient or recipe scaling and accurate data collection. Using traditional MRP software, companies typically have manual recipe scaling as well as inaccurate and/or neglected data collection.
Matrix Controls Provides Quality Control, Production Control Solutions
Because both over-scaling of recipes and poorly documented data collection are detrimental to manufacturing facilities, the quality control and MRP software assistance experts at Matrix Controls have solutions for gaps or manual operations in conjunction with MRP software.
Matrix Controls’ software syncs with existing MRP software to automate both data collection, as well as recipe/ingredient scaling operations. Matrix has found that when an MRP software system relies on manual scaling, over-scaling of 6% is the industry average. However, through using an MRP software add-on designed to automate scaling and data collection, Matrix can drop that over-scaling to less than .5%, creating a substantial ingredient cost savings as well as greater production yield per batch.
