Complete Business Solution

IFS Cloud offers end-to-end support from design and engineering to production, delivery, service, and repair, ensuring a seamless business process. 


By using IFS Cloud, high-tech and industrial manufacturing businesses can bring products to market faster, produce higher quality and safer products, increase sales opportunities, and reduce errors and waste. 


Advanced Scheduling Techniques 

AI in the IFS Demand Planner analyzes historical data to identify patterns and trends, which helps predict future demand more accurately. This reduces the risk of overstocking or stock-outs. 


The AI system continuously learns from new data, improving its forecasting models over time. This adaptability ensures that the forecasts remain relevant and accurate as market conditions change. 


The material requirement planning (MRP) system in IFS Cloud is certified by the Institute of Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP), ensuring that it follows industry best practices. This certification provides confidence in the system’s reliability and effectiveness. 


By using demand-driven principles, the MRP system can respond more quickly to changes in demand. This agility helps maintain optimal inventory levels and reduces lead times. 


The integration of AI and DDMRP provides better visibility into the supply chain. This visibility allows for more informed decision-making and proactive management of potential disruptions.
