MRP Tells You What You Need. Lambda Tells You What You Can Make.

Classic MRP assumes infinite capacity and unlimited material, so planners spend days fixing overloads in spreadsheets. Lambda keeps the MRP logic you trust and adds the constraint layer it was always missing.

Classic MRP

Unconstrained
  • Lot-for-lot orders that spike whenever demand spikes
  • Overloaded lines and warehouses found after release
  • Supplier shortages surface as expedites and missed orders
  • Manual smoothing, a different spreadsheet per planner

Lambda Supply Chain Planning

Feasible
  • Same BOM explosion and netting, then load levelled within capacity
  • Work routed only to qualified lines and plants
  • Production timed to supplier arrivals, shortages flagged early
  • One shared plan with every exception explained

Every Constraint in Your Network, Modelled Once

Define limits at the level your business runs, from supplier to plant to warehouse. Every planning run checks all of them together.

01

Production Capacity

Hours or units per line, shift calendars, maintenance and changeovers. Load above any limit is moved, never ignored.

02

Capability

Which plants, lines and tools are qualified for which products, with preferred and alternate routings, rates and costs.

03

Raw Material Availability

On-hand stock, open purchase orders, supplier lead times and allocation limits for every component in the BOM.

04

Warehouse Limits

Storage space, inbound and outbound handling capacity, and transfer lanes between plants and distribution centers.

05

Lead Times & Calendars

Manufacturing, transfer and procurement lead times, plus holidays and working days for every site.

06

Lot Sizes & Policies

Minimum and multiple order quantities, batch sizes, safety stock, maximum inventory cover and shelf life.

Ask “What If” Before It Happens

Copy the live plan into a scenario, change any input, and rerun the full constrained plan in minutes. Compare service, cost, inventory and utilization side by side, then promote the winner.

From Demand Plan to Feasible Supply Plan in Five Steps

Every conflict is resolved before the plan reaches your suppliers, plants and warehouses.

01

Load the Demand Plan

Import forecast and firm orders by SKU, location and week, with inventory and open supply.

02

Run MRP

Net requirements, explode multi-level BOMs and offset lead times across the network.

03

Check Constraints

Measure every requirement against capacity, capability, material and warehouse limits.

04

Smooth the Plan

Pre-build, use alternate lines, re-time to supply or rebalance stock at the lowest cost.

05

Release & Explain

Publish production, purchase and transfer plans with exceptions and full pegging.

Why did FG-1040 production move into week 17?
Week 19 demand is 880 units against 600 units of Line 1 capacity in California. I pre-built 280 units in weeks 17 and 18, when Line 1 was at 64% load. That holds 2.1 weeks of cover — inside your 4-week limit — and keeps every order on time.

Supply Chain Planning Tool FAQs

What is a supply chain planning tool?

+

A supply chain planning tool turns a demand forecast into a plan for what to buy, make, store and move across your suppliers, plants and warehouses. Lambda goes a step further by checking every plan against real capacity, capability and material limits, so the plan is feasible on the first run.

How is Lambda different from other supply chain planning tools?

+

Many supply chain planning tools run unconstrained MRP and leave planners to resolve overloads and shortages in spreadsheets. Lambda keeps the MRP logic you trust, then automatically smooths the plan across the network and explains every change it makes.

Does this supply chain planning tool replace our ERP’s MRP?

+

No. It works alongside your ERP. Lambda runs its own MRP explosion on your master data, applies constraints, and sends the finished production, purchase and transfer plans back to your ERP for execution.

How is this different from finite capacity scheduling?

+

Scheduling sequences jobs on a line for the next few days. Lambda plans in weekly or daily buckets over a horizon of weeks to months, balancing load across suppliers, plants and warehouses so the schedule you build later is achievable.

Can we control how the plan is smoothed?

+

Yes. You choose which levers are allowed, such as pre-build, alternate routings, substitutes or delay, and set their priority, cost and limits, including maximum inventory cover and shelf life.

How fast can the tool run what-if scenarios?

+

Most runs finish in minutes, even with thousands of SKUs and multi-level BOMs, so planners can test scenarios during a planning meeting. Each scenario is an isolated copy, so nothing touches the live plan until you promote it.

What happens when demand simply can’t be met?

+

The engine delivers the best feasible plan and lists the remaining shortfall by SKU and week, with the binding constraint and the options that would close the gap.
