ILLUSTRATIVE PLANNING EXAMPLE
Plan materials for repeat print jobs.
Connect recurring parts, printer setups and material quantities in a bulk order you can repeat.
This example describes a buying approach, not a completed customer project.
Define the starting point
Group recurring jobs by printer setup, material and color. Use actual consumption and representative parts to plan the request.
Build the product request
Separate quantities for every grade and color. Add spool size, handling and receiving requirements where they affect the farm workflow.
Review the sample
Compare the material on the printers and parts that will use it. Record the print profile and handling conditions with the sample result.
Keep the repeat-order reference
Keep the accepted material reference and written order configuration available for repeat buying. Record product or process changes before the next run.
