MRP
Question: how do firms actually organize things
to turn materials into finished products?
Master Production Schedule (MPS)
• Time-phased plan specifying how many and
when the firm plans to build each end item
Aggregate Plan
(Product Groups)
MPS
(Specific End Items)
MPS Example – Maine Woods Toy Co.

Products are combinations of parts…

Metal Frame (1)

Dependent vs Independent Demand
• Independent Demand
• Dependent Demand
– Demand for an item is
– Demand for a
independent of the demand
component (raw
for other items. These
material, part, subdemands are typically
assembly) is dependent
determined by outside
on the demand for the
customers and are end-item
end-item into which the
demands
component goes.
• demand often occurs in
batches
Bill of Materials (BOM)
• Shows all the assemblies, subassemblies, components,
and raw materials required to produce an item
• Shows way a finished product or parent item is put
together from individual components
• Parent item shown at highest level or level zero
• Parts that go into parent item are called level 1
components and so on
• Production planners explode BOM for level zero item
to determine the number, due dates, and order dates of
subcomponents
Let’s look at an example BOM...

How many D’s we need in

Schematic of MRP System
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
• Computer-based information system that
schedules and orders dependent-demand
inventory components;
• Uses the master production schedule, bills of
materials, and inventory records as inputs;
• Outputs recommendations:
– When to release new orders
– When to reschedule open orders.

Units are PUSHED forward to a certain point. Final
configuration (PULL) occurs only when the actual
customer demand occurs.
Lot Sizing in MRP Systems
• MRP generates material orders
• Order sizes/lots can be chosen according to various objectives
•
Lot-for-lot (L4L):
Produce to cover next period
•
EOQ:
Apply the EOQ approximation for yearly demand
•
Least Unit Cost:
Minimize total cost (order + carry) per unit
These are all approximate methods, none is guaranteed to be
optimal. We can apply all of them and find the least-cost one
to implement.
Example
Cost per item:
Order/setup cost:
Inventory carrying cost/month
Starting inventory:
Production lead time

Manufacturing Resource Planning
(MRP II)

Goal: Plan and monitor all resources of a
manufacturing firm (closed loop):
manufacturing
 marketing
 finance
 engineering


Simulate the manufacturing system
ERP Systems


Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
is a computer system that integrates
application programs in accounting,
sales, manufacturing, and other
functions in the firm
This integration is accomplished through
a database shared by all the application
programs
Typical ERP System

Reasons to Implement ERP
 Desire
to standardize and improve
processes
 To improve the level of systems
integration
 To improve information quality

 Cost

Summary and Conclusions…
Master Production Schedule (MPS)
converts aggregate plan to a detailed
schedule
 Primary inputs to MRP are MPS, BOM’s
(for part relationships) and Inventory
Records (for lead times and inventory
position)
 MRP is a push system but can be used in
conjunction with pull systems
 MRP grew and evolved to include closedloop, Manufacturing Resource Planning
(MRP II), and eventually ERP
