Let us assume that RESCU Solutions have already helped make your forecasts 100% accurate and resolved all of your communication process issues. Do you now have time to relax, watch the orders flow in, be produced, transferred to the warehouse as finished goods and delivered to your customers on time?

Unfortunately not, since your 100% accurate forecast/order data will drop into the complex world of Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP).

Whilst you will generate a plan on paper, as they say in football parlance the game is never played on paper and this is where your theory meets the real world. Effectively this is where man meets machine and machine meets component, and by definition it is where cost is frequently driven into your business as chaos can often prevail if you do not have the systems, communication flows and management information in place to support the whole planning process.

MRP is truly where you will find out whether your purchasing and supply strategy is robust, it is where your knowledge and data management shortcomings will be exposed, and its where the order fulfilment cycle starts to near the end of its journey before the warehouse and despatch process completes the physical flow to your customer.

RESCU Solutions have the tools and knowledge to link your corporate objectives to your business planning process. Ultimately we will help you optimise your labour and material plans for your Master Planning Schedule, by reviewing your rough cut planning, sequencing and finite planning processes, while also considering shop floor input and output control.

RESCU Solutions provide our clients with high quality practical planning advice and guidance. Utilising proven techniques, we assist clients to become more responsive, and make them capable of servicing their own customers at a reduced cost, with greater effectiveness.
