MRP features
Plan production. Build product. Hit deadlines.
Otiox MRP is the full Material Requirements Planning stack — manufacturing orders, scheduling, BOMs, approvals, operators, machines, demand forecasting — in one workspace. No bolt-on apps, no per-module licences.

Everything MRP, in one workspace
Six core capabilities cover the planning loop from sales order to shipped finished good.
Manufacturing orders
Create and track MOs end-to-end. Each order carries its BOM snapshot, component reservations, scheduled date, priority, status (Scheduled → In progress → Done) and a downloadable run summary.

Production planning & scheduling
Order book with rank, deadline, planned start/end, machine assignment and material readiness. Drag-and-drop to re-rank, filter by location / machine / material / date, group or flatten the view.
Bill of Materials
Steel Frame Assembly v2.1Multi-level bills of materials
Nest BOMs to any depth, version each one, snapshot per MO. Components carry quantity, unit cost, scrap %. Total stock, reserved and available roll up live per product.
| Component | Required | Total cost |
|---|---|---|
| PCB Mainboard Rev3 | 30 pcs | €555.00 |
| Li-Ion Battery 3000mAh | 30 pcs | €276.00 |
| Aluminum 6061 Sheet | 1.5 kg | €7.20 |
MO approvals & quality control
Configurable approval chains per value, supplier or priority. Built-in QC inspections with evidence attachments. Production Tasks workflow for operators on the floor.
Demand planning & forecasting
Statistical and seasonal forecast per SKU on a 12-week horizon. Reorder suggestions and safety-stock recommendations. MO impact reports show how a planning change ripples through your stock.
Capacity & shop-floor execution
Define machine and operator capacity, calendar, shift patterns. Capacity-aware scheduling. Production Floor portal so operators clock onto tasks from a tablet.
A single planning workspace from order to shipped
The Production Planning view is the daily home for planners and production leads. Filter, group, drag-and-drop — the changes write straight back to the order book.
- Open / Done split with one click
- Filter by location, machine, material, date range
- Sort by rank, quantity, deadline; group by status or assignee
- Inline machine assignment and planned-time edit
- Material readiness chip on every row (Ready / Blocked / Consumed)

Recipes that stay accurate as you scale
Define each product's bill of materials once. Otiox stores cost, scrap and version per component and snapshots the BOM into every MO so historical orders never silently change.
- Multi-level nesting with infinite depth
- Per-product variants and version control
- Component unit cost, scrap %, lead time
- Live total stock / reserved / available roll-up
- Multi-variant BOMs for the same product
Bill of Materials
Steel Frame Assembly v2.1Every manufacturing order is its own mini project
Open an MO and see everything in one screen — order info, full cost breakdown (material + labour + overhead), component status with required / available / reserved / consumed, production tasks, approval chain and QC inspections.
- Material, labour, overhead and total cost roll-up
- Component status row shows what's in stock right now
- Production tasks workflow for the operator portal
- Built-in approval status with multi-level chains
- QC inspections with evidence attachments
- Downloadable PDF run summary
| Component | Required | Total cost |
|---|---|---|
| PCB Mainboard Rev3 | 30 pcs | €555.00 |
| Li-Ion Battery 3000mAh | 30 pcs | €276.00 |

Operations, operators, machines and maintenance
Everything required to actually run the floor — not just plan it.
Operations
Library of manufacturing operations with standard time, machine and operator requirements per step.
Operators
Operator roster with skills, calendar, shift patterns and active task assignments.
Machines
Machine list with capacity, calendar, current MO and downtime history.
Maintenance
Preventive maintenance schedules per machine with reminders and work-history log.
From sales order to shipped product
Six steps that the MRP suite walks you through automatically.
Sales order or forecast
Demand enters from a sales order or the forecasting suite
MRP run suggests MOs
The engine explodes BOMs and proposes the right MOs + POs
Approve & schedule
Approve the MO and drop it on the production schedule with machines
Operator portal
Operators clock on, complete production tasks, log QC and time
Done & costed
Finished goods land in stock with rolled-up actual material, labour, overhead
Ship & report
Reserved for the sales order; pick / pack / ship; reports update
MRP that planners and operators actually use
Most MRP tools either drown you in fields or fall apart the first time a real order comes in. Otiox keeps the planning model lean and the operator screens fast — so your team uses it on day two, not day sixty.
