Running the MEIO Engine

Users can run the MEIO engine to calculate safety stock for all items and sites. The MEIO engine is almost always scheduled to run automatically on a regular basis as part of a chain of preplanned actions, usually configured during implementation. However, a user can also invoke the engine manually if desired.

Before completing the steps below to run the engine, the MTIP Stats engine should have already been run to provide the MEIO engine with the historical data required. The data from this MTIP Stats engine run can be checked for accuracy in the IP Data Sanity Summary. In addition, at least one configuration (config) with objectives must have been created before running the MEIO engine. For more information, see the following topics:

  • Viewing the IP Data Sanity Summary

  • Creating and Working with MEIO Configurations

  • Creating and Working with MEIO Objectives

Complete the following steps to run the MEIO engine:

  1. L og in to the ONE system.

  2. Click Menus/Favs > Inventory Planning > MEIO Engine > Invoke MEIO Engine.
