Material Requirement Planning (MRP) is a strategy for deciding the amount and timing for obtaining of dependant interest things expected to fulfill the expert creation plan prerequisite. MRP is one of the powerful tools that, when applied properly, helps the managers for the achievement of effective manufacturing control.

MRP Objectives:

1. Inventory reduction

2. Reduction in manufacturing time

3. Reduction in delivery lead time

4. Realistic delivery commitments

5. Increased efficiency

MRP Terminology:

1. MRP: A technique for determining the quantity and timing of dependant demand items.

2. Lot Size: The quantity of items required for an order.

3. Time Phasing: Scheduling to produce or receive an appropriate amount (Lot) of material so that it will be available in the time periods when required.

4. Time Bucket: The time-frame utilized for arranging purposes in MRP.

5. Gross Requirements: The general amount of a thing required toward the finish of the time frame to meet the arranged yield levels.

6. Net Requirements: The net quantity of an item that must be acquired to meet the scheduled output for the period.

7. Requirement Explosions: The breaking down of parent items into component parts that can be individually planned and scheduled.

8. Scheduled receipts: The number of items that will be received from suppliers as a result of orders that have been placed.

9. Planned order receipts: The quantity of an item that is planned to be ordered so that it will be received at the beginning of the period to meet the net requirements for the period. The request has not yet been set.

10. Planned order release: The quantity of an item that is planned to be ordered or it is the plan (quantity and date) to initiate the purchase or manufacture of materials so that they will be received on schedule after and lead time offset.

11. Lead time offset: The supply time or number of time buckets between releasing an order and receiving the materials.

Master Production Schedule (MPS)

MPS is a progression of time-staged amounts for everything that an organization produces, showing the number of are to be created and when. The MRP framework acknowledges whatever the expert timetable requests and makes an interpretation of MPS end things into explicit segment prerequisites.

Inventory Status File: Every inventory item being planned must have an inventory status file which gives complete and up to date information on the on-hand quantities, gross requirement, scheduled receipts, and planned order releases for the item. It likewise incorporates arranging data, for example, parcel sizes, lead times, wellbeing stock levels and scrap recompenses.

Bill of Materials:

To schedule the production of an end product, the MRP system must plan for all the materials, parts, and sub-assemblies that go into the end product. The Bill of Material file in the computer provides this information.

MRP Outputs:

Various types of reports can be generated from the information made available by the MRP Program.

1. To MPS Planner’s

a) Simulation of proposed MPS

b) Researching information for open orders (due to cancellation, delays, shortages)

2. To purchasing and Production

a) Changes to keep priorities valid

b) Order releases (Purchase and shop orders)

c) Planned order releases

3. To Capacity Requirement Planning

a) Order release information for load profiles, delays, shortages.

4. To Management

a) Performance measurement of Vendors, cost, forecast accuracy

b) Exception reports (on due dates BOM file, etc)

Capacity Requirement Planning (CRP)

CRP is a procedure for figuring out what staff and hardware limits are expected to meet the creation targets typified in the expert timetable and the material prerequisites plan. CRP is a work to build up a match between the MRP plan and the creation limit of the organization.
