Optimizing Inventory and WIP Management for Increased Industrial Performance
There are a number of reasons why it’s important for an industrial company to master its inventory and work-in-progress data:
- Knowing inventory and work-in-progress (WIP) levels helps to better manage the company’s cash flow, by ensuring that funds are not unnecessarily tied up in excessive inventories or WIP.
- Efficient inventory and WIP management can help improve business efficiency by minimizing storage costs and reducing production times.
- Mastery of inventory and work-in-process data also enables us to better forecast production requirements and plan demand for raw materials accordingly.
- Finally, proper management of inventories and work-in-progress can help improve the quality of service offered to customers, by ensuring that finished products are available on a regular basis and reducing delivery times.

Improved calculation methods for inventory and WIP sizing.
Use of automated calculations.
MRP (Material Requirements Planning) and CBN (Calculations of Net Requirements) are production planning tools that enable companies to efficiently manage their supply chain and production. These advanced calculation methods enable more accurate forecasting of raw material and labor requirements, as well as the production capacities needed to meet demand. They can help companies cut costs by minimizing unnecessary inventories and avoiding production delays. They can also improve end-product quality by enabling better planning and resource utilization. Finally, these advanced calculation methods can help companies to be more responsive to changes in demand and imponderables, by providing them with accurate, up-to-date data on their production needs and capacities.
What does MRP stand for?
MRP stands for Material Requirements Planning. MRP is a process used to manage an industrial company’s supply chain. It involves calculating the materials and resources needed to produce a product or service, taking into account factors such as available inventory, forecast demand and production schedules.
MRP calculations are generally carried out using software that analyses data on the company’s operations and supply chain. This data includes information on the materials and resources required for production, as well as data on the company’s capacity, inventory levels and forecast demand. Based on this data, the MRP system generates a purchasing and production plan for the materials and resources required.
MRP calculations are important for an industrial company because they ensure that the company has the materials and resources it needs to meet production demands. This can help the company to operate more effectively and efficiently and reduce the risk of production delays or shortages. MRP can also help the company optimise inventory levels and reduce costs by ensuring that it only buys the materials and resources it needs, when it needs them.
The PPR is the MRP !
The MRP, or Material Requirements Plan, is a process used to manage the supply chain of an industrial site. It involves calculating the materials and resources required to produce a product or service, taking into account factors such as available inventory, forecast demand and production schedules.
PPR calculations are generally carried out using software tools that analyse data on the site’s operations and supply chain. This data includes information on the materials and resources required for production, as well as data on site capacity, inventory levels and forecast demand. Based on this data, the PPR system generates a purchasing and production plan for the materials and resources required.
PPR calculations are important for an industrial site because they ensure that the site has the materials and resources it needs to meet production demands. This can help the site to operate more effectively and efficiently and reduce the risk of production delays or shortages. PPR can also help the site to optimise inventory levels and reduce costs by ensuring that it buys only the materials and resources it needs, when it needs them.
What is Big Data for inventories and work in progress?
Big storage data refers to the large volumes of data that a manufacturer generates and collects about its storage. This data can include information about the quantities of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process items that are stored, as well as details about the location, cost and value of these items. By analysing this data, manufacturers can gain insight into their storage management practices and make informed decisions about production, warehousing and distribution. In addition, manufacturers can use large-scale storage data to optimise their supply chain, reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction by ensuring they have the right products in the right place at the right time.
