The key takeaways are that MRP is a technique that uses a bill of materials, inventory data and a master production schedule to calculate material requirements. MRP aims to get the right materials to the right place at the right time.

The main inputs of MRP are the master production schedule, bill of materials and inventory record file. The main processing steps are exploding, time-phasing and lot sizing.

The main outputs of MRP are primary reports such as gross requirements, scheduled receipts, projected on-hand, net requirements, planned order receipts and planned order releases. Secondary reports include exception reports.

Master Production Schedule (MPS)

Master Production Schedule (MPS)


Specifies how many of each item to be produced in what time period Sometimes schedules major subassemblies and components only

Bill of Material (BOM)

Bill Of Materials (BOM)


A complete description of the materials, parts, and components of a product and the sequence in which the product is created.

Toy Car

Wheel Assly. (2)

Body (1)

Axle (1)

Wheel (2)

Inventory Records (Item Master)File

Inventory Records File


Stores information on the status of each item by time period as well as their supply/manufacturing lead time.

Cooperstown Toys Inc. Inventory Record File


Item Description Toy Car Body Wheel Assembly Axle Wheel On-hand On-Order Back Order Lead Time 1 week 4 weeks 1 week 2 weeks 1 week

MRP Processing
"Explodes" the item requirements to the BOM table, level by level, taking into account the stock status of items in the inventory table Offsets the release date for the net requirement for each item by the lead time Rationale: For an item to be released for processing, all of its components must be available; the planned order release date for the parent item becomes the same gross requirement for the sub items

Terminology
* Gross Requirements * Scheduled Receipts * Projected on Hand * Net Requirements * Planned-Order Receipts * Planned-Order Releases

Lot Sizing
* Lot-for-lot * EOQ * Fixed Period * Part Period * Wagner-Whitin
