Section Objectives

After completing this section, you should be able to:

1. Describe the conditions under which MRP is most appropriate. 2. Describe the inputs, outputs and nature of MRP processing. 3. Explain how requirements in a master schedule are translated into

material requirements for lower level items. 4. Discuss possible uses of safety stock and safety time. 5. Explain how an MRP system is useful in capacity requirements

planning. 6. Outline benefits and difficulties of MRP. 7. Describe MRP II and how it relates to MRP.

Material Requirements Planning

MRP: Whazzit a computer-based information system designed to handle ordering

and scheduling of of dependent-demand inventories (i.e. raw materials, component parts and subassemblies).

MRP Inputs

Master Production Schedule (MPS) Based on customers orders and demand forecasts, the MPS details exactly what end products must be manufactured or assembled, when they must be manufactured and what quantities are needed.

Bill of Materials File (BOM) Specifies amount of raw materials, components and subassemblies needed to manufacture or assemble the end product. Tells both the requirements and when they will be needed.

Inventory Status File Maintains inventory records so that the company may subtract the amount on hand from the gross requirements, thus identifying net requirements at any time.

MRP Program Explodes end product demand into gross requirements for individual parts and other materials. Then the program calculates net requirements based on the inventory status file and places orders for the inputs necessary to the production / assembly process.

Using the information presented in the product structure tree:

a. Determine the quantities of B, C, D, E and F needed to assemble one X.

b. Determine the quantities of these components necessary to assemble 200 Xs.

Solution to a & b:

Inventory Records File

Stores information on the status of each item by time period. Includes: 1. Gross Requirements. The total expected demand for an item or raw

material during each time period. 2. Scheduled Receipts. Open orders scheduled to arrive from vendors or

elsewhere. 3. Projected on Hand. Expected amount of inventory that will be on hand

at the beginning of each time period. = scheduled receipts + available from last period. 4. Supplier. The name(s) and address(es) of the item’s supplier(s). 5. Lead Time. The average length of time, in days or weeks, between

placing and receiving an order from the supplier. 6. Lot Size. Standard order size. This may be determined by techniques

such as lot-for-lot ordering, EOQ, part period balancing, etc.

MRP processing involves taking end item requirements and “exploding” them into time-phased requirements for assemblies, parts and raw materials.

MRP Processing Problem Illustration A firm that produces wood shutters and bookcases has received two orders

for shutters: one for 100 shutters and one for 150 shutters. The 100-unit order is due at the start of week 4 of the current schedule, and the 150-unit order is due for delivery at the start of week 8.

Each shutter consists of four slated wood sections and two frames. The

wood sections are made by the firm, and fabrication takes one week. The frames are ordered, and lead time is two weeks. There is a scheduled receipt of 70 wood sections in week 1 (i.e. at the beginning of week 1).

Determine the size and timing of planned-order releases necessary to meet

delivery requirements under each of the following conditions:

1. Lot-for-lot ordering (i.e. order size equal to net requirements). 2. Lot-size ordering with a lot size of 320 units for frames and 70 units

for wood sections.

MRP Outputs – Primary Reports:

Planned orders - amount and timing of future orders Order releases - authorize the execution of planned orders Changes to planned orders - changes of due dates and/or order

quantities

– Secondary Reports: Performance-control reports - measure deviation from plans, including

missed deliveries and stockouts. Provide information that can be used to assess cost performance.

Planning reports - include purchase commitments and other data that can be used to assess future material requirements. Useful in forecasting future material requirements.

Exception reports - illustrate major discrepancies such as late and overdue orders, excessive scrap rates, reporting errors and requirements for nonexistent parts.

Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) Process of determining short-range capacity requirements. The necessary

inputs include planned-order releases for MRP, the current shop load, routing information and job times. Outputs include load reports for each work centre.

Benefits, Requirements and Limitations of MRP – Benefits:

Low levels of in-process inventories Ability to keep track of material requirements Ability to evaluate capacity requirements generated by the master

schedule A means of allocating production time

– Requirements: Computer and necessary software Accurate and up-to-date:

– master schedules – bills of materials – inventory records

Integrity of file data – Limitations:

Recordkeeping deficiencies Resistance of supervisory staff Time for education, training and convincing of employees - often a

year or more

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

An extension of the MRP system to tie in customers and suppliers

1. Allows automation and integration of many business processes

2. Shares common data bases and business practices 3. Produces information in real time

Coordinates business from supplier evaluation to customer invoicing

ERP modules include Basic MRP Finance Human resources Supply chain management (SCM) Customer relationship management (CRM)

Advantages of ERP Systems

Material Requirements Planning

1. Is very expensive to purchase and even more so to customize

2. Implementation may require major changes in the company and its processes

3. Is so complex that many companies cannot adjust to it 4. Involves an ongoing, possibly never ending, process for

implementation 5. Expertise is limited with ongoing staffing problems
