CADSTAR
MRP Link
The MRP (Materials Requirement Planning) Link integrates CADSTAR
tools with MRP SQL databases and establishes a bi-directional connection,
providing users with access to a vast amount of additional component
information for harmonization of part data in electronic designs
and for the creation of highly customizable bills of materials
(BOMs). This tool reduces design time, saves money, ensures product
quality and facilitates management of the product development and
manufacturing processes.
The MRP Link includes four main features: synchronization, parts
management, history management, and BOM management.
Synchronization
The synchronization tool provides
accurate information exchange, eliminating duplicate information,
reducing the risk of data entry error, and enabling historical
tracking.
Parts management
The parts manager function
allows users to quickly search from selected components that meet
specified pre-defined criteria within the parts database, providing
more efficient selection of components – particularly
useful for the user with little knowledge of parts. The flagging
up of preferred supplier parts within the CADSTAR library assists
in supply chain management. Accurate cost calculations enable correct
pricing of products to achieve required profit margins, and selection
of components from the preferred suppliers list assists in the
negotiation of bulk purchasing discounts.
History management
History management functionality
manages and assesses change notes throughout the product development
process, allowing the identification of batches that use different
components from different suppliers – helping track supplier
product quality. This also helps the growing number of organizations
that comply to the ISO9000 standard, by assisting in checking and
documenting of the product development process, and providing a
basis for historical data management.
BOM Management
The BOM management function automatically
identifies requirements for component changes when parts become
obsolete, facilitating forward planning for carrying out redesigns.
Additionally, this aids project managers in easily calculating
costs of replacing the obsolete part with an alternative. The ability
to create customizable BOMs for different business users further
enhances processes, by helping designers work more closely with
other teams within organizations, speeding up progression within
the design stage.
