MRP Controller Determination

[Former Member]

HI All,

Please note that i am having a scenario, weher in a single manufacturing plant 5 different types of product lines exist. I need to know if i can use a single MRP controller for the whole plant or do i have to define different MRP controllers for the individual product lines.

Kindly advice...along with advantages/disadvantages of both the scenarios.

Thanks in advance

Could you give me your mail and phone...I need to talk to you on the subject.

Hi Nishanth,

Well you define the controller in the material master anyway, so it's upto you to have multiple OR a single controller. Basically the advantage with a single controller is that the processing during SFC execution can be viewed under a single controller.

Hi,

As the plant is single with 5 production lines it is better to have a single controller as more or less similar materilas are planned for all the lines , if there are multiple controllers than it will be a mess in planning the requirement quantities for the materials , the only disadvantage with a single MRP controller his , the work load on that pirticular person will be more .

Thanks and Regards,
