Re: Considering AVP

Mike

It looks like your question has been overlooked.  I noticed it sitting out
here with no response.

AVP replaces MRP and CRP.  Thus MPSP works just fine assuming it is the
driver of the plan.  Unfortunately, many companies don't use MPSP to drive
the plan, but instead us it as a step in an ill defined process.  As long as
you are using MPSP to drive demand OVER THE CMLT HORIZON of the demand
units, you will be fine using AVP and will in fact get faster feed back if
you are over capacity or under utilizing capacity.  Both of which are very
nice things to have during your S&OP process.

Let me know how this is going for you.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Considering AVP

Hi Group,
   We are on XAR7 and we are heavy users of Infor Forecasting, MPSP, MRP and
CRP.
Also have a fledgling S&OP process that depends on MPSP and the PFRELF file
to define product families.
We also use Infor MPA to measure our variances in making the plan.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience that has
switched to AVP.
TIA
