From BOM to Buy — Fully Orchestrated Material Planning
Likwid AI connects product structure, inventory, production capacity, and procurement into one continuously running, agentic MRP engine.
Why Orchestration Matters
Planning fails when BOM, production, and procurement work in silos
Static MRP plans don't survive real-world changes
Execution breaks when resources aren't considered
"MRP needs orchestration, not just calculation."
The Orchestration Flow
Six interconnected steps that turn demand signals into executable plans
BOM Intelligence
Reads multi-level BOMs, scrap, yield, and engineering changes. Identifies critical and long-lead components.
Net Requirement Analysis
Explodes BOM against demand. Adjusts for on-hand, reserved, and in-transit stock.
Capacity & Resource Analysis
Evaluates machines, labor, shifts, and maintenance. Validates what can actually be produced.
Production Job Scheduling
Assigns jobs to the nearest feasible time window. Prioritizes based on delivery commitments.
Procurement Synchronisation
Plans purchases based on production start dates. Considers supplier lead times and reorder policies.
Continuous Re-Planning
Re-runs MRP when demand, supply, or production changes. Highlights exceptions instead of static reports.
What Makes This AI-Native
Predictive Material Shortage Detection
AI monitors supply chains and flags potential shortages weeks before they impact production.
Dynamic Rescheduling
Automatic plan adjustments when conditions change—no manual replans needed.

What will delay production next week?
Based on current MRP analysis:
- • SKU-4521 will be short by 200 units
- • Supplier ABC delayed shipment by 3 days
- • Work center WC-07 at 98% capacity
Recommendation: Expedite PO-8847 or reschedule Job-1029
