MRP Software for Job Shops
MRP built for the reality of job shops: high mix and low volume — every job is essentially custom, customer expedites override planned sequence daily, and profitability per job hidden until completed. Generic MRP ignores these constraints. We built ours around them — for 35+ years.
Why Job shops Need MRP Software That Understands Their Floor
Job shops is not generic high mix. Every job shop decision is shaped by high mix and low volume — every job is essentially custom, every order is shaped by customer expedites override planned sequence daily, and every weekly plan gets disrupted by profitability per job hidden until completed. Off-the-shelf MRP tools were built for a textbook model of manufacturing that does not survive contact with a real job shops floor. Our mrp software starts from the constraints — material requirements planning from forecast + open orders, modeled the way job shops actually run them.
- High mix and low volume — every job is essentially custom
- Customer expedites override planned sequence daily
- Profitability per job hidden until completed
- Capacity commitments made before complete routings exist
How Our MRP Software Works for Job Shops
MRP Software is a finite-capacity-aware scheduling engine purpose-built for the messiness of real manufacturing. For job shops — including general job shops — it handles high mix and low volume — every job is essentially custom, customer expedites override planned sequence daily, and profitability per job hidden until completed in a single Gantt-driven interface planners can actually use. Below is what that looks like in practice.
- Material requirements planning from forecast + open orders
- Multi-level BOM explosion with lead time offsetting
- Purchase requisition generation with vendor preferences
- Safety stock and reorder point management
