Abstract
A method for validating material requirements planning data is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first set of scheduling data from a first resource planning tool, receiving a second set of scheduling data from a second resource planning tool, performing a comparison of the first set of scheduling data and the second set of scheduling data, and generating a report based on the comparison.
Claims20
A method for validating material requirements planning data comprising:
- receiving a first set of scheduling data from a first resource planning tool;
- receiving a second set of scheduling data from a second resource planning tool;
- performing a comparison of the first set of scheduling data and the second set of scheduling data;
- and
- generating a report based on the comparison.
A system for validating material requirements planning data comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a mismatch report generation selection;
- and
- a processor operably connected to the at least one interface, wherein, upon receiving the mismatch report generation selection by the interface, the processor:
- receives a first set of scheduling data from a first resource planning tool;
- receives a second set of scheduling data from a second resource planning tool;
- performs a comparison of the first set of scheduling data and the second set of scheduling data;
- and
- generates a mismatch report based on the comparison.
A computer-readable medium including instructions for performing, when executed by a processor, a method for validating material requirements planning data, the method comprising:
- receiving a first set of scheduling data from a first resource planning tool;
- converting the first set of scheduling data from a first file format to a second file format;
- generating a factory calendar based on the converted first set of scheduling data;
- receiving a second set of scheduling data from a second resource planning tool;
- performing a comparison of the factory calendar and the second set of scheduling data;
- generating a report based on the comparison;
- and
- displaying the generated report.
