MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS PLANNING
MATERIAL REQUIREMENT PLANNING
simple to manage
complex to manage
reduced inventory cost (it carries only those
items & components that are needed – no
more/no less)
Reduces order processing delays => reduced LT
=> better deliveries => better customer service
accurate information required
Planning system
Loading
Sequencing
Shop Short-term
Detailed floor control capacity control
Scheduling
Expediting
Operations Planning & Scheduling System
3 kinds of information
1. Order release requirements (orders to
be released now)
MRP
Inventory
processing BOM file
status file
logic
The report clearly identifies the sourcing actions required for on-schedule
production
Can notify the suppliers in advance
Weekly updating – expedite, de-expedite, cancel
**Information system is valuable when thousands of sub-components must
be coordinated among numerous suppliers & work centers
Terminology of MRP
Terminology of MRP
1. Allocated quantity : in-house quantity but already
allocated to some other order
2. Gross requirements : ‘overall quantity needed’ to
meet planned output levels. *Planned output for end
items come from MIS. *Planned output for
components come from MRP
3. Scheduled receipts : quantity that will be received at
the start of time period against previously placed
orders

Detailed Capacity Planning (DCP)
A computer is necessary
Product structure must be assembly oriented
BOM + inventory status information must be
recorded & computerised
Valid master schedule must be prepared
Data integrity
Training people else ad hoc methods resurfaces
Advantages of MRP
Dynamic nature
Reacts well to changing activities (real time
adjustments for thousands of components)
Better PPC
Better inventory management
Shorter delivery LT – sourcing
Better deliveries
Managers speak……
