1 . Foundational Features: Intelligent Material Planning Framework

  • Built on a robust BOM-based logic, SFP MRP delivers precise and adaptive material planning for industries such as FMCG, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and beyond.
  • By converting sales forecasts or customer orders (MTS or MTO strategy) into material consumption through the BOM structure, the system accurately calculates material requirements. It then compares these with on-hand and in-transit inventory (GIT: Goods In Transit), while applying each organization’s unique stock policy and supplier parameters — such as lead time and minimum order quantity — to ensure optimal ordering decisions.
  • This intelligent framework combines automation with flexibility, allowing both auto-calculation and manual adjustments for complete control over material planning.

2 . Execution & Calculation: Ensuring Continuous Supply

  • SFP MRP transforms planning insights into precise execution by automatically calculating and generating purchase requests based on each organization’s defined Stock Policy.
  • The system identifies potential material shortages in advance and recommends timely replenishment to prevent production downtime while minimizing procurement costs.
  • By factoring in supplier constraints such as lead time, minimum order quantity, and organizational decisions — like adjusting purchase volumes — MRP ensures that materials are always available when needed.
  • Planners can also manually adjust calculations and immediately see the impact of

3 . Getting Started & Data Updates

Kickstart your material planning with SFP MRP by setting up all essential data quickly and efficiently.

  • Define Materials: Add material codes, names, units, lead times, MOQ, suppliers, cost, images, and special notes. Categorize materials for easy identification.
  • Set Up Products: Include components, production technology, and machine-specific requirements where applicable.
  • Manage BOMs: Link multiple BOMs per product, define alternative materials, and set priorities for automatic substitutions.
  • Enter Forecasts & Orders: Use sales forecasts or customer orders to drive material requirements.
  • Track Inventory & In-Transit Stock: Keep a full picture of on-hand and in-transit materials.
  • Quick Data Uploads: Import all data directly into the system for fast setup and minimal manual entry.

    This streamlined setup ensures accurate, actionable planning from day one, enabling your production team to operate efficiently and stay up-to-date with real-time data.

4 . How It Works: From Data to Actionable Orders
