The inoERP enterprise management system is an open-source Go and Flutter based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application which can be used with MySQL, MariaDB or Oracle 12c databases.[1] The objective of inoERP is to provide a dynamic pull based system where the demand /supply changes frequently and traditional planning systems (such as MRP or Kanban) are unable to provide a good inventory turn.

Business Usage
The primary objective of inoERP is to provide a dynamic pull system which can control the Raw Material, Work in Process and Finished Good Inventory
[3] to provide a good inventory turn.
Dynamic pull system [4] is an advanced version of pull system which encompasses the best feature of traditional pull system and MRP. The major disadvantage of the traditional kanban system is the fixed kanban size and requirement of at least 2 bins for full operation. In the event of a sudden demand decrease, a kanban system can result in extra inventory and the value of unused inventory can go up to 2 bin sizes. Similarly, In case of unexpected demand increasing, it can result in a line down and the issue will be severe if the lead times are not short. Dynamic pull systems overcome this issue by recalculating the bucket size (kanban size/lot size) before creating any supply (requisitions/purchase order/work order). Each time a new supply is created, the system automatically decides the best supply size as per the existing actual demand.
