Dependent vs Independent Demand

Dependent Demand For any product, all components of that product are dependent demand items. Given a quantity for the product, the demand for all parts and components can be calculated. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

What is MRP Material requirements planning (MRP) is a dependent demand production planning and inventory control system. MRP integrates data from production schedules (MPS) with inventory records, scheduled receipts and the bill of materials (BOM) to determine purchasing and production schedules for the components required to build a product. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

MRP A computer-based information system that translates master production schedule (MPS) requirements for end items into time-phased requirements for subassemblies, components, and raw materials.

MRP The MRP is designed to answer three questions: What is needed? How much is needed? When is it needed? © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Benefits of MRP Better response to customer orders Faster response to market changes Improved utilization of facilities and labor Reduced inventory levels © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Inputs to MRP MRP is a dependent demand technique that uses Bill-of-Material (BOM) On-hand inventory data Expected receipts (outstanding purchase orders) Master Production Schedule (MPS) Lead Time information to determine material requirements.

Overview of MRP

Master Production Schedule (MPS) Time-phased plan specifying how many and when the company plans to produce each end item Aggregate Plan (Product Groups) MPS (Specific End Items) 8 8

Master Production Schedule (MPS) MPS is established in terms of specific products The MPS is a statement of what is to be produced, not a forecast of demand Must be in accordance with the aggregate production plan Before it is executed, MPS must be tested for feasibility (Capacity Requirements Planning) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Accurate Records for Outstanding Purchase Orders (Scheduled Receipts) Accurate inventory records are absolutely required for MRP (or any dependent demand system) to operate correctly Generally MRP systems require more than 99% accuracy Outstanding purchase orders must accurately reflect quantities and scheduled receipts © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Lead Times The time required to purchase, produce, or assemble an item For production – the sum of the order, wait, move, setup, store, and run times For purchased items – the time between the recognition of a need and the availability of the item for production © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

MRP Outputs: Primary Planned orders A schedule indicating the amount and timing of future production and/or purchasing orders

MRP Outputs: Secondary Secondary Outputs Performance-control reports e.g., missed deliveries and stockouts Planning reports Data useful for assessing future material requirements e.g., purchase commitments Exception reports excessive scrap rates,

MRP Processing MRP processing takes the end item requirements specified by the master production schedule (MPS) and “explodes” them into time-phased requirements for assemblies, parts, and raw materials offset by lead times

MRP Record Total expected demand Open orders scheduled to arrive Week Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 Gross Requirements Scheduled Receipts Projected on hand Net requirements Planned-order-receipt Planned-order release Gross requirements Total expected demand Scheduled receipts Open orders scheduled to arrive Projected On Hand Expected inventory on hand at the beginning of each time period

MRP Record Actual amount needed in each time period Net requirements Week Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 Gross Requirements Scheduled Receipts Projected on hand Net requirements Planned-order-receipt Planned-order release Net requirements Actual amount needed in each time period Planned-order receipts Quantity expected to be received at the beginning of the period offset by lead time Planned-order releases Planned amount to order in each time period

MRP: Processing The MRP is based on the product structure tree diagram Requirements are determined level by level, beginning with the end item and working down the tree The timing and quantity of each “parent” becomes the basis for determining the timing and quantity of the “children” items directly below it. The “children” items then become the “parent” items for the next level, and so on

Example MRP

Updating the MRP System An MRP is not a static document As time passes Some orders get completed Other orders are nearing completion New orders will have been entered Existing orders will have been altered Quantity changes Delays Missed deliveries

Updating the System Two basic systems Regenerative system: MRP records are updated periodically Essentially a batch system that compiles all changes that occur within the time interval and periodically updates the system Net-change system: MRP records are updated continuously The production plan is modified to reflect changes as they occur

Safety Stock Theoretically, MRP systems should not require safety stock Variability may necessitate the strategic use of safety stock A bottleneck process or late delivery of raw materials may cause shortages in downstream operations When lead times are variable, the concept of safety time is often used Safety time: Scheduling orders for arrival or completions sufficiently ahead of their need so that the probability of shortage is eliminated or significantly reduced

Lot Sizing Rules Lot-for-Lot (L4L) ordering The order or run size is set equal to the demand for that period Minimizes investment in inventory It results in variable order quantities A new setup is required for each run Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Can lead to minimum costs if usage of item is fairly uniform This may be the case for some lower-level items that are common to different ‘parents’ Periodic Order Quantity (POQ): Provides coverage for some predetermined number of periods

Lot-for-Lot Example 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Gross requirements 35 30 40 55 Scheduled receipts Projected on hand Net requirements Planned order receipts Planned order releases Holding cost = $1/week; Setup cost = $100; Lead time = 1 week © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Lot-for-Lot Example 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Gross requirements 35 30 40 55 Scheduled receipts Projected on hand Net requirements Planned order receipts Planned order releases Holding cost = $1/week; Setup cost = $100; Lead time = 1 week © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Lot-for-Lot Example No on-hand inventory is carried through the system Total holding cost = $0 There are seven setups for this item in this plan Total ordering cost = 7 x $100 = $700 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Gross requirements 35 30 40 55 Scheduled receipts Projected on hand Net requirements Planned order receipts Planned order releases Holding cost = $1/week; Setup cost = $100; Lead time = 1 week © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

EOQ Lot Size Example 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Gross requirements 35 30 40 55 Scheduled receipts Projected on hand 43 66 26 69 39 Net requirements 16 Planned order receipts 73 Planned order releases Holding cost = $1/week; Setup cost = $100; Lead time = 1 week Average weekly gross requirements = 27; EOQ = 73 units © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Calculating EQO Annual demand (D): (270/10)*52=1404 Setup Cost (S)= $100 Holding Cost (H) = $1*52= $52 EOQ= 73 units © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

EOQ Lot Size Example 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Gross requirements 35 30 40 55 Scheduled receipts Projected on hand 43 66 26 69 39 Net requirements 16 Planned order receipts 73 Planned order releases Holding cost = $1/week; Setup cost = $100; Lead time = 1 week Average weekly gross requirements = 27; EOQ = 73 units © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

EOQ Lot Size Example Total cost = setup cost + holding cost Total Cost = D/Q x S + Q/2 x H Total cost = (1,404/73) x $100 + (73/2) x ($1 x 52 weeks)=$3,798 Cost for 10 weeks = $3,798 x (10 weeks/52 weeks) = $730 OR Total Cost = 4*100 + 375(including 57 units for week 11) = $775 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Periodic Order Quantity The EOQ attempts to minimize the total cost of ordering and carrying inventory and is based on the assumption that demand is uniform. Often demand is not uniform, particularly in material requirements planning, and using the EOQ does not produce a minimum cost. The period-order quantity lot-size rule is based on the same theory as the economic-order quantity. It uses the EOQ formula to calculate an economic time between orders. This is calculated by dividing the EOQ by the demand rate. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Periodic Order Quantity Periodic order quantity (POQ) method sets: the size of each production lot equal to the requirements for a fixed number of periods Interval (period) = EOQ / average demand per period Order quantity is set to cover the interval

EOQ = 73 units; Average weekly gross requirements = 27; POQ Lot Size Example WEEK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Gross requirements 35 30 40 55 Scheduled receipts Projected on hand 70 Net requirements Planned order receipts 80 85 Planned order releases EOQ = 73 units; Average weekly gross requirements = 27; POQ interval = 73/27 ≅ 3 weeks

POQ Lot Size Example Setups = 3 x $100 = $300 Holding cost = (40 + 70 + 30 + 55) units x $1 = $195 Total cost = $300 + $195 = $495 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Gross Requirements Plan (Note that components with multiple parents are only processed once, see component E) Week 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Lead Time Required date 50 Order release date 50 1 week Required date 100 Order release date 100 2 weeks Required date 150 Order release date 150 1 week Required date 200 300 Order release date 200 300 2 weeks Required date 300 Order release date 300 3 weeks Required date 600 200 Order release date 600 200 1 week Required date 300 Order release date 300 2 weeks Table 14.3 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Determining Gross Requirements Starts with a production schedule for the end item – 50 units of Item A in week 8 Using the lead time for the item, determine the week in which the order should be released – a 1 week lead time means the order for 50 units should be released in week 7 This step is often called “lead time offset” or “time phasing” © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Determining Gross Requirements From the BOM, every Item A requires 2 Item Bs – 100 Item Bs are required in week 7 to satisfy the order release for Item A The lead time for the Item B is 2 weeks – release an order for 100 units of Item B in week 5 The timing and quantity for component requirements are determined by the order release of the parent(s) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Determining Gross Requirements The process continues through the entire BOM one level at a time – often called “explosion” By processing the BOM by level, items with multiple parents are only processed once, saving time and resources and reducing confusion Low-level coding ensures that each item appears at only one level in the BOM © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Net Requirements Plan The logic of net requirements Total requirements Gross requirements Allocations + Available inventory Net requirements On hand Scheduled receipts + – = © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Allocations Allocated items refer to the number of units in inventory that have been assigned to specific future production but not yet used or issued from the stock room. The following slide illustrates how allocated items increase gross requirements

Net Requirements Plan © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Determining Net Requirements Starts with a production schedule for the end item – 50 units of Item A in week 8 Because there are 10 Item As on hand, only 40 are actually required – (net requirement) = (gross requirement - on- hand inventory) The planned order receipt for Item A in week 8 is 40 units – 40 = 50 - 10 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Determining Net Requirements Following the lead time offset procedure, the planned order release for Item A is now 40 units in week 7 The gross requirement for Item B is now 80 units in week 7 There are 15 units of Item B on hand, so the net requirement is 65 units in week 7 A planned order receipt of 65 units in week 7 generates a planned order release of 65 units in week 5 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Determining Net Requirements A planned order receipt of 65 units in week 7 generates a planned order release of 65 units in week 5 The on-hand inventory record for Item B is updated to reflect the use of the 15 items in inventory and shows no on-hand inventory in week 8 This is referred to as the Gross-to-Net calculation and is the third basic function of the MRP process © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall
