How to Buy
Text Box: The ACM Material Requirement Planning System is a rapid nesting system for predominantly rectangular parts to be cut from high value sheet material. It has been developed in conjunction with Booth Muirie for estimating the raw material required for production of batches of architectural cladding panels, but it could equally be applied to woodworking, sign writing, or plastic manufacture. You feed the system with panel sizes (and grain direction if appropriate). The system calculates the estimated visible panel surface area and approximate batch value as panel dimensions are entered. It keeps track of available prime sheet sizes and off-cuts from previous batches. You then tell it to nest the specified panels, optionally consuming any available off-cuts first then using the minimum area and number of prime sheets. Nesting assumptions can include automatic common cuts between panels to save both raw material and machine tool cycle time.   If you accept the recommended batch of layouts a report is printed telling you the prime sheets to be purchased for this job, and the assumed layouts. This information is also passed to Automatic Machining / Q-Nest for production use when nesting the engineered panels. Automatic Machining / Q-Nest will compare the estimated and engineered panel sizes and report any discrepancies, it will then try to nest the engineered panels using the same assumptions as the ACM Material Requirement Planning system, or the required panels using the purchased raw material.
