OPTION (16) Modifications to Baseline - Minimal
(MMI-Z1-00) USAGE AGING ANALYSIS
USAGE AGING is a process whereby an average month's USAGE is
determined, either by looking at prior USAGE, or (preferably),
from MRP demand. The reports provide Inventory Dollars in period
columns (0-6, 7-12, 13-24, Over-24 months). The Z_USAGE file contains
up to 4 years' data in monthly buckets.
These reports are of value to Accounting to assist in isolating
Obsolete Inventory in terms of Months on Hand, in Dollars, within
the periods noted above.
This data can be utilized, along with forward MRP demand, to judge
Demand spikes, and other requirements patterns.
