Requirement Calculation

• Calculation of raw material and component needs
• Calculation of production needs 
• Takes into account the current inventory in stock 
• Takes into account already planned production
• Uses active purchase orders with delivery times
• Forecasts on sold finished goods
• Continuous requirement calculation in real-time

Take control of all input factors to optimise your production. Requirement calculation in direct MES continuously calculates the need for goods and production to ensure delivery to your customers.

To ensure that your production has all the necessary raw materials and self-produced components available for the factory's production needs, it is essential to have a good overview and predictable flow of goods.

Requirement calculations in direct MES give you control of your goods needs through continuous calculation according to the product structures of your finished goods.

We consider your orders, forecasts, current inventory, purchases, and planned production, so you always have exactly what you need and when needed.

Requirement calculation in direct MES generates purchase suggestions for raw materials that need to be purchased, considering the recommended quantity and the various suppliers' delivery and shipping time, ensuring continuous goods access.

If your factory produces its components and semi-finished products used in producing your finished goods, the system calculates the need for this as separate production orders for optimisation and streamlining of such production.

Purchase suggestion concerning product structures:

• Product structures provide an overview of goods needs 
• Different goods linked to different suppliers
• Calculates total goods needs with recommended purchase quantity
• Purchase suggestions sent to the ERP system

Let the production calculate the need for ordering goods and send these to ERP for processing by the purchasing manager. This ensures consistency between planned production and continuous goods access.

Optimised Production Order:

direct MES has a powerful article and product structure that optimises and calculates the production needs. This will ensure the division of needs and dependencies to goods flow and production sequence.

• Get unique registration requirements linked to each workstation
• Different requirements may follow each product
• Performing other operations may require their specific measurements

direct MES can give you physical control of all goods and uses this when calculating the need for a new order. The system records and plans all goods flow for seamless control.

When you forecast future sales of your goods, you can enter the forecasts for each product in the system distributed over the various periods ahead. Through its requirement calculation, direct MES will consider future predictions so that necessary purchase goods and production of components and semi-finished products are treated.
