Four Ltd Nov 2006. Correct Parts ordered on time Collation / rolling
together of parts
orders (by supplier and time bucket) Realistic planning of work (i.e. achievable
Works orders) Number of purchase orders raised by Stores in a period of
time. Alternatively the average size of orders (value or number of items)
placed. Another approach would be too look at the historic data of parts
being used and calculate (for a given planning horizon) the reduction in
the number of orders that would come about by using MRP.A time for raising
then processing purchase orders can be estimated and this can then be multiplied
by the reduction in number of purchase orders thereby arriving at a time
saving.(Perhaps) these can be isolated from invoices from your suppliers.
