Material Requirements Planning
Know what you need, when you need it, and where it is. Pulse PLM calculates demand, tracks inventory in real time, and generates purchase suggestions to keep production running.
Right Materials, Right Time, Right Place
Stockouts halt production. Excess inventory ties up cash. Manual reorder calculations are slow and error-prone. Without proper materials planning, manufacturers are always reacting instead of planning.
Pulse PLM connects sales demand, BOM structures, and current stock levels to calculate exactly what needs to be purchased and when. No more guesswork, no more spreadsheets.

Demand Meets Supply
MRP sits between sales demand and production execution. It takes in orders and BOMs, and outputs what needs to be purchased and when.
Sales orders drive demand calculations
BOMs define material requirements per product
Consumes allocated stock during production
Inspection results inform goods-receipt acceptance decisions
