PRONTO-Xi Distribution Requirements Planning is an effective tool that plans the flow of demand and supply of your goods through a network of satellite, branch and central warehouses across the entire Supply Chain. The output from the DRP can be used to: - Plan at the factory level through MPS and MRP;
- Automatically generate Purchase Orders;
- Create warehouse Transfer Orders to facilitate replenishment.
Optimised Warehouse Replenishment
The complexity of Supply Chain Management increases significantly with the number of items, suppliers and warehouses. PRONTO-Xi DRP simplifies the supply chain by facilitating the efficient replenishment of physical inventory locations. DRP utilises a number of optimisation tools which take into consideration supplier priorities, transport costs, lead times, inventory targets and product cost.Replenishment can be planned through the normal DRP network, or on an item by item basis for product supplied directly from the supplier to individual warehouses.
Time-Phased Distribution Plan
PRONTO-Xi DRP provides a time-phased distribution plan, similar to Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) in manufacturing. DRP brings the same level of time-phased visibility to non-manufacturing organisations, across an entire network of warehouses, distribution centres and suppliers.
