Lean Material Management & Logistics
Most companies focus on the assembly process, without focusing too much on how material is flowing through or stored in your supply chain.
Typically orders come in to a company with unpredictable frequency. The ERP/MRP is translating this demand and is releasing orders in a logical sequence. Orders can get dispersed to different manufacturing sites. Then the manufacturing sites are releasing orders to their supply chain. Often based on a logic buried deep in an ERP or MRP or advanced planning tool. Consolidation of orders often happen in a distribution center making the complete supply chain very un-transparent and difficult to manage.
