---

Like your competition, your operations must also be facing the conflicting goals of low inventories verses high customer service and item availability is classic. Your customers want their product now, but you don't know what they want until they want it. Besides they constantly change their minds.

You should be able to:

• Refine your planning process so that you can execute Material Requirements Planning into a single planning run
• Select whether you want to run Material Requirements Planning separately across multiple organizations or run separately for a grouping within the organization
• Designate any facility as a supply source, a demand source, or both
• Execute one of several different net change or full regeneration planning runs
• Select your planning horizon with a combination of daily, weekly, or any other user-defined periods
• Do re-planning on the entire product line or an individual or group of items
