Material Requirement Planning (MRP) Why MRP is Needed Using EOQ for dependent demand resulted in parts shortages, higher overtime costs, and late deliveries to customers MRP determines when parts and materials are needed to meet a production schedule

7. Material Requirements Planning Material requirements planning Planned order releases Work orders Purchase orders Rescheduling notices Item master file Product structure file Master production schedule

8. To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition,  2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Master Production Schedule (MPS) and Rough Cut Capacity Plan Master Production Schedule (MPS): shows planned production by item, by day or week, for 2 – 6 months –Is revised as sales forecast changes Rough Cut Capacity Plan: a calculation to ensure that there is enough capacity to make the items in the Master Production Schedule

9. To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition,  2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Databases Used in MRP Calculation Bill of material file: list of parts, raw materials, and subassemblies for each finished good –Quantity required for each item Inventory records file: amount of each finished good, part, raw material, and subassembly in inventory, plus amounts already ordered and expected dates of receipt

Production and Purchase Planning A planned order specifies how much of an item is needed, when it is needed, and when it must be ordered to be available when needed. Includes –Purchase orders to outside suppliers –Work orders for items made internally Planned orders are the key output from an MRP system.

Material Requirement Planning Based on a Master Production Schedule Schedules raw material and component part delivery when they are needed to meet a production schedule Designed to reduce inventory costs and improve delivery reliability to customers Estimates available to promise (ATP) – amount scheduled for production but not yet committed to a booked order
