Print Input Requirement List (SAF-758)
Introduction
What does this procedure do?
This procedure enables a Production Planner, a Manager or a Process Order Planner to view the TOTAL QUANTITY required for each of the Materials and Components required to complete one or more Process Orders and evaluate this against current available stock and outstanding supplier orders.
The system uses the Input Quantity Per Output Unit for a Process Model and multiplies this by the Quantity on Order to calculate the total quantity required.
Why would you use this procedure?
In order to achieve high levels of productivity and quality in any process it is essential that all of the materials and components required to successfully complete a Process Order are available in the right quantity and quality at the time required. Too often in organisation management and staff do not prepare the inputs required in advance and as a result the organisation experiences high levels of down-time. This lost time increases the pressure of management to make quick decisions and to re-assign tasks to employees to :keep them busy." Unfortunately, the result of all this last minute rushing often contributes to poor quality, high levels of stress and low morale.
This procedure provides an effective, easy and quick way to take understand what materials are required in what quantities and at what times. Through using this information the management and planning team can effectively prepare the resources needed by the team to successfully complete a process order for a specific Customer by the required Due Date.
When would you use this procedure?
It is necessary to perform this procedure whenever materials need to be prepared for issue to a Process Order.
How long should it take to perform this procedure?
When you are proficient this procedure should take you no longer than 30 seconds to generate the report from the system and then 5 to 10 minutes to check and prepare the materials required to complete the process order, depending on how many items are required.

You will notice that as you click on a process order in the list the system marks the row in yellow.
- Once you have selected the process orders for which you wish to print Operation Tickets, click the Print button.
- Click on the Input Requirement Totals option from the drop-down menu.
The system will display the Input Requirement Total report for each of the Process Orders you selected in step 3 above. This screen provides the details list of all of the materials needed to complete a Process Order.
The system will open the Print options dialog.
- Then click the OK button on the Print dialog.
The system will then print the Input Requirement Totals report.
