There is a ‘disconnect’ between the plant floor and MRP systems. They are often plugged with a spreadsheet fix, but plants need something better than a workaround. We look at the problems with using MRP for managing actual factory scheduling and operations, and the factory management system solution.”

Narayan Laksham, Ultriva’s founder and CEO, authored an article in Assembly Magazine entitled, “Solve the Demand-Driven Supply Chain Problem.” Laksham explained how electronic kanban systems can help manufacturers avoid the bullwhip effect, “Today’s global marketplace requires manufacturers to profitably respond to the dynamics of market demand in a timely manner. Due to the convoluted and often far-reaching nature of today’s supply chain, this is frequently more difficult than it seems. Pressure to cut costs, decrease inventory and raise profit margins make the process even more challenging. The end result is often a misguided effort to implement ‘more effective’ demand-driven supply chain methods.”

Some people spend most of their lives dreaming about a better life, trying and failing to achieve their dreams.  The current state of economy makes things even harder for such people to get what they want; the existing economic fallout means people are making lesser amount of money than they are spending even on the basic necessities with no or very little money left to save. On the flip side, there also people who are living the lives of their dreams. They seem to be unaffected by the current economic turmoil. They are living their lives to the fullest and not worrying about the money. These people have seemed to unlock the secret to living the lives that everyone dreams of.

Ultriva’s Collaborative Supply Portal is a dashboard for gaining visibility to part shortages and outstanding orders including inventory health, exception alerts, unacknowledged orders, late shipments, late receipts, MRP Forecasts and planned orders, and ERP integration status. Candidates for Kanban are set up as such; those parts with high volatility or low usage can have their requirements generated from existing MRP/ERP systems, but are still triggered and tracked in the Collaborative Supply Portal. This allows suppliers and buyers to see all of their fulfillment requirements and the ability to leverage the visibility, scanning, label printing and transactions that drive the savings. In most manufacturing companies today, the supply chain is still largely controlled by MRP/ERP systems which use forecasted or planned demand to establish material requirements. Every MRP run generated changes the material requirements causing whiplashes across the supply chain. The ripple effect of these changing requirements results in stock-outs, shortages, bloated inventory levels, costly expediting and ultimately missed customer shipments. As customer's global supply chains are becoming more complex, customer demand continues to be more volatile and suppliers are less willing to bear the burden of carrying extra inventory to serve the customer's needs. In order to solve these challenges, manufacturers need to shift their paradigm from forecast based planning systems to consumption based replenishment systems.
