Re: JIT tie in to MRP

Now I admit I am not intimately knowledgeable about XA's MRP
capabilities... but your talking about the classic push software trying
to do a pull system ala square peg round hole situation.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] JIT tie in to MRP

Hello everyone,

We are at MAPICS  XAR6 and our OS is V4R5.

What we would like to do is have MRP tell us when to schedule our
material 
over a period of time, phased,  instead of all at once.  Something like 
JIT.  We have many long running, weeks to months, jobs and MRP tells us
to 
have all of the material ready when we start the job, which isn't 
feasable. 

Has anybody done anything like this?

Vendor responses welcome.



Thanx,

Nick
