This client was having difficulty in managing the MRP process, so a decision to create custom reports was made to help analyze manufacturing and distribution bottlenecks. Also, we created several data extracts which were then published on a daily basis to an internationally available intranet web page. These pages supported the sales efforts of all distributors allowing them to see the ATP (Availability to Promise) in a timely manner. In this way, they were able to tell customers when products could be available to them.
