The pain: nobody trusts the stock number
When a line stops for material, the cause is usually not the supplier — it is the stock number the plan was built on. Physical counts differ from the system, production keeps its own buffers, and purchasing orders late because the need surfaced late.
- Physical counts that never match the system
- Private safety buffers in every team, tying up cash
- Purchase needs discovered at the workbench, not in the plan
- Expedited freight treated as a normal cost of doing business
What it really costs
The visible costs are expediting fees and stopped lines. The hidden ones are larger: cash locked in duplicated buffers, planners building schedules on numbers nobody believes, and purchasing negotiating from urgency instead of volume.
How RZC solves it
R-ERP pulls confirmed sales orders from one stock picture, so what production plans is what actually exists. Purchase needs are raised from the plan itself — by threshold, lead time or order — not from a spreadsheet someone updates on Fridays.
R-RPA keeps the record current: supplier confirmations, delivery notes and invoice quantities are entered as documents arrive, not typed in when someone has time. R-AI Lite lets a planner ask in plain language — "which orders run out of material next week?" — and get the answer from live data.
- One stock picture behind every plan and every purchase
- Purchase needs raised from the plan, not from a Friday spreadsheet
- Supplier documents entered automatically as they arrive
- Plain-language questions over live material data
Where to start
Pick the ten materials that stop lines most often. Move them into one record, count them once, and let R-ERP plan against that count. The habit usually spreads to the rest of the warehouse within a quarter.
