Solution Overview
Over the last ten years, value chains have grown in length and complexity as companies expanded globally in pursuit of margin improvements. Even though they operate in a world where disruptions are commonplace, intricate production networks have historically been built for cost, efficiency, and proximity to markets rather than for resilience or transparency.
Trinamix DDMRP provides the framework for reacting and responding while dampening the up-and-down effects of disruptive forces on the supply chain. This demand-driven approach gives the ability to formally plan multi-echelon with the highest/greater flexibility to satisfy customer demand and unleash the full potential of productive capacity. It continuously adapts to changing scenarios, such as transit time, lead time, and demand impact due to external factors, creating synchronized and efficient plans that reduce the need for re-planning, firefighting, and production waste.
Trinamix Resilient Demand Driven is a one-of-a-kind solution that embraces all breakthroughs in AI, ML, and predictive analytics to configure, optimize, respond, and offer execution visibility emphasizing all benefits of the DDMRP methodology.
Background
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) was first developed in the early 1960s. During the 1980s, MRP further evolved into MRP II and extended into sales and operations planning (S&OP) in the 1990s. Later, MRP was integrated into main business functions, serving as the framework for current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Since the time of MRP’s technological advancement, it has become the backbone of Manufacturing Software Systems.
Trinamix DDMRP is the most recent evolution of Material Requirements Planning (MRP), which has changed the way you plan your supply chain. It provides the best approach for protecting and promoting the flow of materials and information with a multi-echelon planning and execution method, eventually helping increase the return on investment.
