What does this page cover?
What Sharman's Proper Pies needed, the scope of the engagement and the systems implemented, which were MRPeasy. It is an implementation record rather than a measured case study.
Food production · Project
MRP for a subscription food manufacturer
Sharman's Proper Pies makes handmade savoury pies and delivers them on a subscription. LevelOps delivered the MRP engagement.
The need
A subscription promise has to be planned, not improvised
Sharman's runs a Pie Club membership where subscribers are guaranteed deliveries with no time commitment. A guarantee like that is an operations problem before it is a marketing one: production has to be planned against a committed schedule rather than against orders as they arrive.
The project
MRP implementation
LevelOps delivered the MRP engagement, closing in September 2023.
Questions about the Sharman's Proper Pies engagement
Why are there no numbers on the outcome?
Because we did not measure them. Publishing a gain we never instrumented would be inventing one, so the page records what was done and stops there.
Could you do the same for us?
Likely, if you are on comparable systems. Describe your situation through the contact page and say what you already run, and we will tell you whether MRPeasy is the right starting point.
How does this relate to the Shopify app?
Implementation work puts the management system in place. PDF to Order handles the step before it, getting orders that arrive as documents into the system. Some clients have both, many have only one.
Can we speak to Sharman's Proper Pies?
Ask through the contact page. We check with the client before passing on any contact, so it depends on what they agree to.
Planning the same kind of project?
Tell us what you run today and what is breaking. We will tell you whether the system you are considering is the right one, before anyone signs anything.
