I have a customer evaluating DRP, they use an outsourced manufacturer and own all of their inventory, The Manufacturer only provides the labor for the assembly to create the KITS.
The KITS are made to order using stock items. We were hoping that DRP would provide the demand for the KIT assembly based on Sales demand, not seeing that it does that. Also based on the functionality the planning only works with either a value for safety stock or a value for reorder point. Neither of these are actually based on SO demand. It would work if they wanted to have these completed KITS on hand but they do not wish to have any on hand, all KITS are made to order based on SO demand.
Has anyone had a similar use case?
