Four Key Tasks
Material plan must meet both the
requirements of the master schedule
and the capabilities of the production
facility
Plan must be executed as designed
Effective “time-phased” deliveries,
consignments, and constant review
of purchase methods
Maintain excellent record integrity

Benefits of MRP
1. Better response to customer
orders
2. Faster response to market
changes
3. Improved utilization of facilities
and labor
4. Reduced inventory levels

14 – 10
Dependent Demand
The demand for one item is related
to the demand for another item
Given a quantity for the end item,
the demand for all parts and
components can be calculated
In general, used whenever a
schedule can be established for an
item
MRP is the common technique

Dependent Demand
Effective use of dependent demand
inventory models requires the
following

Master production schedule
Specifications or bill of material
Inventory availability
Purchase orders outstanding
Lead times
14 – 12
Master Production Schedule
(MPS)
Specifies what is to be made and when
Must be in accordance with the aggregate
production plan
Aggregate production plan sets the
overall level of output in broad terms
As the process moves from planning to
execution, each step must be tested for
feasibility
The MPS is the result of the production
planning process
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.
14 – 13
Master Production Schedule
(MPS)
MPS is established in terms of specific
products
Schedule must be followed for a
reasonable length of time
The MPS is quite often fixed or frozen in
the near term part of the plan
The MPS is a rolling schedule
The MPS is a statement of what is to be
produced, not a forecast of demand
© 2006 Prentice Hall, Inc.
14 – 14
Master Production Schedule
(MPS)
Can be expressed in any of the
following terms:
A customer order in a job shop (maketo-order) company
Modules in a repetitive (assemble-tostock) company
An end item in a continuous (make-tostock) company

Bills of Material
Modular Bills
Modules are not final products but
components that can be assembled
into multiple end items
Can significantly simplify planning
and scheduling

14 – 24
Bills of Material
Planning Bills
Created to assign an artificial parent
to the BOM
Used to group subassemblies to
reduce the number of items planned
and scheduled
Used to create standard “kits” for
production
