Capacity Planning Amid Fluctuating Demand: Smarter Industrial Engineering Solutions from DPI - 3/9/2026

Distinctive Plastics (DPI) has always been dedicated to making our facility more efficient, whether that's through improving our plastic molding processes or integrating smarter communication and tracking technologies across the shop. We work with manufacturers who often experience fluctuating customer demand in ever-changing markets and who still have to meet high performance and quality standards with every product. And in order to ensure that we can maintain flexibility and lead times for our customers, DPI has a detailed MRP and ERP system with real-time monitoring all across the factory floor.

Real-Time Monitoring and Forecasting with MRP Systems

Across our entire facility, thanks to a network of nearly three dozen computers throughout the factory, DPI's Enterprise Requirement Planning (ERP) system maintains data and information storage, streamlines communications, and monitors resource usage and production flow. We have wireless scanners, dynamic scheduling capabilities, and on-the-fly production reporting, all of which allows us to maintain a much more flexible and organized factory floor for our customers. That includes preventive maintenance for mold tooling, quality testing and results, accounting, and manufacturing resource planning (MRP).
