Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Flow
Why MRP Software Matters for Manufacturers
Streamline Production; Cut Waste; Deliver On Time
Implementing MRP system through SMURPS ERP gives manufacturers the control and insight they need to keep production running smoothly:
- Prevent material shortages that cause production delays
- Improve inventory turnover and reduce excess stock
- Ensure every Work Order has materials ready before production starts
- Enable purchasing teams to act proactively with accurate demand signals
- Automate planning of sub-assemblies and multi-level BOM manufacturing
- Boost on-time delivery by aligning materials with production schedules

Frequently Asked Questions
What is manufacturing management software?
Manufacturing management software helps manufacturers plan, manage, and monitor production activities from raw materials through to finished goods. SMURPS Manufacturing Management brings together production planning, Bill of Materials (BOM) management, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), work orders, inventory control, and procurement in a single platform, helping businesses improve production visibility and operational efficiency.
What is a Bill of Materials (BOM) and how does SMURPS manage it?
A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a structured list of the materials, components, and quantities required to manufacture a product. SMURPS manages BOMs by allowing manufacturers to define product structures, maintain multiple BOM versions, and update material requirements when product designs change. These BOMs are then used throughout the manufacturing process for production planning, material purchasing, and production costing.
What is Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and how does it work in SMURPS?
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) helps manufacturers determine what materials are needed, how much is required, and when those materials should be available for production. In SMURPS, the MRP process analyses production demand, available inventory, and existing purchase orders to identify material shortages. The system then generates recommendations for purchasing or production activities so manufacturers can maintain sufficient stock without overbuying.
Does SMURPS support both discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing?
Yes, SMURPS Manufacturing Management supports both discrete and process manufacturing. Discrete manufacturing, producing distinct countable units such as furniture, electronics, machinery, or fabricated components, is managed through BOMs, work orders, and routing steps through defined work centres. Process manufacturing, producing goods through mixing, blending, or transformation such as food, beverages, and chemicals, is managed through the same BOM structure configured as a formulation, with batch-based production and support for by-products. For manufacturers with advanced formulation needs (potency-based scaling, catchweight, multi-UOM recipe management), these can be scoped as customisation on top of the core platform.
How does SMURPS track production work orders and shop floor progress?
SMURPS tracks production work orders by creating a production record for each manufacturing job and updating its status as work progresses through the shop floor. Production teams can record material usage, production quantities, completed operations, and production issues directly against the work order. Managers can then monitor active work orders in real time, helping them identify production delays, resource bottlenecks, and work-in-progress across the factory.
How does SMURPS calculate planned versus actual production costs?
SMURPS calculates planned production costs using the materials, labour, and operational requirements defined in the Bill of Materials and production process. As production takes place, the system records actual material consumption, labour usage, and production output. SMURPS then compares planned costs against actual costs and highlights any variances, helping manufacturers understand production efficiency and identify opportunities to reduce costs.
Does SMURPS Manufacturing include quality control at production stages?
Yes, SMURPS Manufacturing Management supports quality control throughout the production process. Quality checks can be performed during raw material receiving, production activities, and finished goods inspection. Inspection results are recorded within the system, helping manufacturers maintain product quality, improve traceability, and support compliance with industry standards and quality management requirements.
How does SMURPS Manufacturing connect with Procurement and Inventory?
SMURPS connects Manufacturing, Procurement, and Inventory through a shared workflow that keeps material planning and stock information synchronised. When production requires additional materials, procurement teams can be alerted to replenish stock. As materials are received and issued to production, inventory records are updated automatically. This integration helps manufacturers maintain accurate inventory levels, reduce manual data entry, and ensure materials are available when needed for production.
How does SMURPS handle receiving and put-away processes?
Receiving is recorded through a goods receipt transaction against a purchase order, which captures accepted and rejected quantities, batch or serial numbers where applicable, and can require a quality inspection before stock is accepted into inventory. For put-away, SMURPS supports rules that automatically allocate incoming stock to a target warehouse based on item, priority, and capacity, so if one location is full, the system routes stock to the next available location according to the defined rules. For businesses that receive into a staging area first, stock can be received there and then moved to its final storage location as a separate transfer step. This gives structured control over where stock ends up without requiring staff to manually decide on placement for every receipt.
Can SMURPS track raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods inventory?
Yes. SMURPS maintains separate inventory visibility for raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods through dedicated warehouses and stock ledger entries. When materials are issued to production, stock moves into a WIP warehouse; as production completes, finished goods are received into FG warehouses automatically. This gives manufacturers real-time visibility into exactly where value sits across the production pipeline, not just what’s in the warehouse, but what’s mid-process.
How does SMURPS support batch traceability and product genealogy?
SMURPS supports batch tracking, allowing manufacturers to record which batch of raw material was consumed in which production run, and which batch of finished goods resulted. This enables backward traceability, tracing a finished goods batch back to its component batches, which is useful for recalls, warranty claims, and quality investigations.
What manufacturing reports and analytics does SMURPS provide?
SMURPS provides reports covering production planning (material shortage, production plan summary), work order status and stock consumption, BOM cost comparisons, and quality inspection summaries. Manufacturers can monitor work-in-progress ageing, planned vs. actual cost variance, and on-time completion rates, giving both shop floor supervisors and management the visibility they need at different levels of detail.
How does SMURPS Manufacturing Management help manufacturers improve production efficiency?
By connecting planning, execution, and inventory in one system, SMURPS removes the manual reconciliation that typically happens between spreadsheets, purchasing, and the shop floor. Accurate MRP reduces overbuying and stockouts, real-time work order tracking surfaces bottlenecks before they cascade, and cost variance reporting flags inefficiencies early. The result is less firefighting and more proactive production management.
