Manufacturing Supply Chain System
MDL Supply Chain

Supply Chain enables the supply of materials to the production lines at the right time, by the right amount.

Material Planning
When manufacturer receives orders from customer, they must do material planning. That is they must know what kind of materials are required for the production of the product. How many are required. How many do they have in stock. If not in stock, which suppliers can supply them. How long it takes for the suppliers to supply them.

Product BOM
Every product should have a detail BOM (Bill of Material). This BOM is a crucial part in material planning. It provides information on what components are the product made of. What is the specification of each component. Which suppliers can supply these components.

Supplier Database
In sourcing for materials, the manufacturer will make contact with many different suppliers. The Supplier Database keep track of the information of the suppliers, business history, product available from them, payment terms, lead time, contract records, and grading.

Warehousing System
After the Purchasing department opened the purchase orders to suppliers, materials will be delivered by the suppliers to our warehouses where the Warehousing System will inspect and record the material arrivals so that late arrival or missed arrival of material will alert the Purchasing department staff to push the suppliers or make alternative arrangement to ENSURE THAT MATERIAL WILL ARRIVE AT THE PRODUCTION LINE AT THE RIGHT TIME BY THE RIGHT AMOUNT.

Job Distribution System
The amount of work for a large supply chain is huge. A good job distribution system will enable staffs to work collaboratively. Customer orders will be handled by a number of material planners who will use the Product BOM system to analysis and produce material requirement. Materials in shortage will then be handled by the Purchasing department (with each staff handles only a specialized group of material) to issue purchase orders to suppliers to supply these materials in time. When materials arrive at different warehouses, the responding warehouse keeper will handle the receiving of materials. When materials did not arrive at the warehouses, the Purchasing department will know at once and conduct the follow-up action. Job is thus distribute to many staffs from many departments.

Multiple BOM Planning
Real customer orders sometimes contains more than one product at a time. Multiple BOM Planning allows the planning of material for many different products by one process. It will generate a combined material requirement report. Thus saving time and labour for planning and purchasing.

System Capacity
Supply Chain is not only going to do the job of supplying the materials at the right time by the right amount. It is going to do in a much larger scale. SUPPLYING THOUSANDS OF MATERIALS AT THE SHORTAGE TIME SPAN BY THE VERY EXACT AMOUNT FULFILLING HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMER'S ORDERS.
