ERP controller SRM

Adaptive Controller SRM - a particularly powerful solution for production, purchasing and scheduling

The adaptive controller SRM is used to set up logistic control loops. If production processes change only very slowly, if they are not linear or if even the smallest changes lead to strong deviations, a very precise control of these production processes is necessary. In this environment, adaptive controllers are preferable to conventional control loops. However, this advantage of adaptive control loops in this environment does not only apply to production, but to the application areas of production, purchasing and scheduling as a whole.

Highlights:

• automatic prediction of future monthly consumption of all own items
• based on this forecast, the disposition parameters for each individual item of the ERP system are automatically adjusted on a monthly basis
• ABC-XYZ analysis: Differentiated decisions on a transparent data basis
• net supplier forecast
• operating characteristics
• capacity bottleneck management
• mounting border tuning
• visualisation of the order structures in an interactive Gantt chart

The ERP controller SRM provides the schedulers with a tool to implement the company's goals in a complex and dynamic environment (e.g. low capital commitment or short delivery times to customers). Particularly high efficiency is achieved with a large variety of articles and variant production.

The ERP controller SRM makes it possible to demonstrate the existing benefit potential on the basis of concrete data from the ERP or merchandise management system. Selected master and transaction data from the ERP are subjected to a tool-based analysis. The results support the necessity of using the ERP-Regler SRM solution.

Procurement and distribution logistics with ABC and XYZ - analysis

The ABC analysis evaluates the decisions of a company, such as components of a bill of materials, in terms of turnover. Whereby the A-materials, which are of the highest importance, have a low quantity but a high value share of turnover, the B-materials have a medium share and the C-materials have a high quantity but only a low value share.

The XYZ analysis is an extension of the ABC analysis and is a materials management procedure in which goods or stocks are classified according to consumption.

The ERP controller SRM software supports the classification of all articles automatically with a combined ABC-XYZ analysis. Whereby the limit values for the separate classes can be determined individually. In this way, company-specific conditions are taken into account. Web-based graphics clearly illustrate the classification of all articles under different points of view. The software supports the disposition procedure with a combination of ABC and XYZ analysis.
