MRP is the secret of “Just in Time” (JIT) manufacturing, minimising stock and work in progress.

Precise Control

Javelin’s advanced MRP provides precise control of all supply operations. It addresses all demand, including minimum stock levels, although parts can be excluded where required; by store, consignment supply and bulk issue.

Lead Time Monitoring

Parts are monitored against normal lead times to generate action dates for each suggestion, meaning long lead time items are dealt with promptly.

Convenient

MRP can be scheduled to run at any time as it does not require the exclusive use of the database.

Part Specification

Lead times, safety lead times, minimum stock levels, batch quantities, minimum quantities and maximum quantities can all be specified on a part by part basis.

Forward Ordering

The forward ordering facility allows automated transfer of items ordered for specific contracts to alternative contracts.

MAP Function

Javelin incorporates an extremely powerful “MAP” function (MRP Action Plan) which is accessible throughout the system. This new feature shows all links in the MRP generated demand structure and enables any recommended action to be interrogated and verified on a multi-level basis.

Minimise Stock, Improve Cash Flow

An offset function allows individual materials to be called in at various stages of a works order cycle, therefore further minimising stock and improving cash flow.

Testimonials

“Because Jobshop is such an essential part of our operation we have also implemented it at our plant at Winnsboro, South Carolina, in the United States, too.
On the few occasions I've needed to ring the support service they've been very knowledgeable and helpful, and have resolved the issue very quickly.”
