MATERIAL REQUIREMENT
PLANNING ( MRP )

• A dependent demand technique that uses bills-of-


material, inventory, expected receipts, and a
master production schedule to determine material
requirements

• It is a software based production, planning and
inventory control system used to manage the
manufacturing process
• Dependent demand drives MRP
MRP OBJECTIVES

R e d u ctio n in In v e n to ry C o st: By providing the


right quantity of material at right time to meet
master production schedule, MRP tries to avoid the
cost of excessive inventory.
Meeting Delivery Schedule: By minimizing the
delays in materials procurement, production
decision making, MRP helps avoid delays in
production thereby meeting delivery schedules more
consistently.
Improved Performance: By stream lining the
production operations and minimizing the unplanned
interruptions, MRP focuses on having all
components available at right place in right
quantity at right time.

DEPENDENT INVENTORY MODEL
REQUIREMENTS
Effective use of dependent inventory models requires
that the operations manager know the following:

• Master production schedule


• Specifications or bill of material
• Inventory availability
• Purchase orders outstanding
• Lead times
MASTER PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
• MPS is derived from the aggregate schedule

• It is a timetable that specifies what is to be made
and when.

• It tells us what is required to satisfy demand and
meet the production plan

• The schedule must be in accordance with a
production plan

• BOM is a list of quantities of components,
ingredients, and materials required to make a
product
• A bill of material defines a product by providing a
product structure

Types of Bills:
• Modular bills - Bills of material for modules are
called modular bills
• Bills of material organized by major subassemblies
or by product options
• Super bill: It includes items with fractional
options

Low - level coding - A number that identifies items
at the lowest level at which they occur. Low-level
coding ensures that an item is always at the
lowest level of usage.

Inventory Availability - It simply means that what

is in stock

Purchase Orders Outstanding – It simply means


that what is on order


Lead Time – The time required to acquire i.e.


purchase, produce , or assemble an item is known


as lead time
BENEFITS OF MRP
• Inventory Reduction
• Reduction in production and delivery time
• Increased efficiency
• Faster response to market changes
• Improved labor and equipment utilization
• Better inventory planning and scheduling

MRP DYNAMICS
• Changes occur in the material requirement
according to the changes in the master production
schedule.
• Central strength of MRP is its timely and accurate
replanning capability.
• MRP “system nervousness”
• Two tools to solve MRP system nervousness
- Time Fences: Allows a part of the master
schedule to be designated as “not to be rescheduled”.
- Pegging: Tracing upward in the BOM from the
components to the parent item.
MRP AND JIT

MRP does not do detail scheduling


MRP is a planning technique with fixed lead times.
MRP provides the plan and an accurate picture of
requirements.
JIT rapidly moves material in small batches,
reducing work in process inventory.
Four approaches for integrating MRP and JIT
• - Finite Capacity Scheduling (FCS)
• - Small Bucket Approach
• - Balanced Flow Approach
• - Supermarket

material movement.

§ The allocation of resources over time to perform


a set of tasks.

SMALL BUCKET APPROACH
Buckets: Time units in a material requirements
planning system.
An approach used while integrating MRP and JIT.
Steps of integration:
• 1) Reduce MRP buckets from weekly to daily to
perhaps hourly. Use of bucketless system in which
all time-phased data have dates attached rather
than defined time periods or buckets.
• 2) Planned receipts which are part of the
planned orders in an MRP system are
communicated to the work areas for production
purposes and used to sequence production.

• Note: Back Flush is a system to reduce inventory balances by


deducting everything in the bill of material on completion of
one unit.
BALANCED FLOW APPROACH
Supports planning and scheduling necessary
for repetitive operations

Planning portion of MRP is combined with JIT
execution.

JIT portion uses kanbans, visual signals and
reliable suppliers to pull material through
facility.

SUPERMARKET

Subassemblies, components and hardware


items can be maintained in common area
called as supermarket.
Items are replenished by JIT/kanban system
Kanban is a signaling system to trigger action.
It uses cards to signal the need of an item
Kanban is a Japanese word .
Kan means Visual and ban means card.

• Closed Loop MRP

• Capacity Planning-Load Reports

• MRP II – Manufacturing Resource


Planning
CLOSED LOOP MRP
MRP system that has information feedback
from its module outputs.
Provides information to capacity plan, MPS and
production plan.
Includes manufacturing control functions of
input-output measurement, detailed
scheduling, dispatching, supplier scheduling.
Implies that not only all the elements are
included in overall system but also feedback
is provided so that planning are kept valid at
all times.

CAPACITY PLANNING

Capacity requirements planning: The


process of determining short-range
capacity requirements.
Load reports: Shows resource requirement
in work centers for all work currently
assigned to the work centers, all work
planned and expected orders.
• Department or work center reports that
compare known and expected future
capacity requirements with projected
capacity availability.
CAPACITY PLANNING
Tactics for smoothing the load and minimizing

the impact of changed lead time include:


Overlapping: reduces the lead time, entails
sending pieces to the second operation
before the entire lot has completed the first
operation.
Operations Splitting: sends the lot to two
different machines for the same operation.
Lot Splitting : Breaking up the order and
running part of it ahead of the schedule.

MRP II
Manufacturing Resource Planning(Ollie Wight)
To plan and monitor all the resources of
manufacturing firm
• -manufacturing, marketing, finance and
engineering through closed loop system.
Stimulates manufacturing system allowing
visibility of what should occur in future and
better planning.


HOW MRP-II DIFFER FROM
MRP?

In MRP, planning is made to determine the


material requirement so as to manage the
manufacturing process only.
MRP II integrates functions with the firm in
addition to the management for dependent
demand inventories.
• Example: Order entry, Invoicing, Billing,
Purchasing, Capacity Planning, Warehouse
management

• Valuable in producing services



- service scheduling consists of identifying
the final service and then tracing back to the
resources needed, such as equipment, space, and
personnel.


MRP IN SERVICES (contd…)
• Service applications such as:
Professional services
Postal services
Retail
Banking
Healthcare
Higher education
Engineering
Logistical services
Real estate

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE
PLANNING(ERP)
Computer system that integrates application
programs in accounting(accounts
receivables), sales(order booking),
manufacturing(product shipping), and other
functions in the firm.
This integration is accomplished through a
database shared by all application programs

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE
PLANNING(contd)

Information system for identifying and planning


the enterprise wide resources needed to:
• -Take
• -Make
• -Ship
• -Account
• for the customer orders
ADVANTAGES OF ERP
Provides integration of supply chain,
production and administrative process.
Provides strategic advantage over competitors
Increases communication and collaboration
among the business units
Can incorporate, improved, reengineered,
“best processes”
DISADVANTAGES OF ERP
Expensive to purchase and costly to customize
Complex for the companies to adjust
Involves ongoing process for implementation
Implementation requires major changes in the
company and its processes
ERP IN SERVICE SECTOR
ERP systems have been developed for health
care, government, retail stores, hotels, and
financial services
Also called efficient consumer response (ECR)
systems
Objective : tie sales to buying, inventory,
logistics, and production

DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENT
PLANNING(DRP)
 A time-phased stock replenishment technique for
distribution networks based on MRP procedures and
logic.

 It is a method used in business administration for planning


orders within a supply chain.

• DRP uses several variables:


 the on-hand inventory at the end of a period.
 the backordered demand at the end of a period.
 the required quantity of product needed at the beginning
of a period.
 the constrained quantity of product available at the
beginning of a period.
DISTRIBUTION RESOURCE
PLANNING(Contd.)

DRP needs the following information:


the demand in a future period.


the scheduled receipts at the beginning of a
period.
the safety stock requirement for a period.
the on-hand inventory at the beginning of a
period.
