Solve MRP Shortages with Agentic AI

MRP Shortages: A Decision Problem, Not a Data Problem

Modern manufacturing doesn't have a calculation problem; it has a decision latency problem. While traditional MRP systems excel at netting supply and demand, they lack the ability to reason through complex, real-world operational trade-offs. This leaves planners flooded with exception messages and manually scrambling to identify which work orders are truly at risk.

Agentic AI transforms your ERP from a transactional engine into an intelligent planning platform by adding a layer of reasoning and proactive conflict resolution.

How Agentic AI Solves the Shortage Crisis

• Identifies True Risk: Instead of simple "part short" alerts, AI builds a 2–6 week lookahead. It scores work orders based on material readiness, lead-time risk, and resource availability so planners focus on what will actually miss the schedule.
• Eliminates Material "Collisions": AI agents forecast demand across production, service maintenance, and open sales orders. By detecting competition for the same parts weeks in advance, you can rebalance demand before expensive expediting is required.
• Proactive Conflict Resolution: Agentic AI understands maintenance windows and resource constraints. It can suggest resequencing production or safely deferring maintenance with a clear rationale for every recommendation.
• Actionable Mitigation: AI doesn't just flag problems; it provides solutions. Whether it’s shifting a work order to align with a PO receipt or using alternate components, every suggestion includes a clear trade-off analysis of cost and schedule impact.

Fast Value, Zero Disruption

You can layer Agentic AI on top of existing systems like Oracle EBS, JDE, PeopleSoft or any manufacturing ERP without core MRP changes or risky ERP replacements. This allows for rapid deployment and immediate ROI through reduced planner cycle times and improved schedule compliance.
