Collins requires: 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 Maintenance of record integrity

know the: master production schedule specifications or bills-of-material inventory availability purchase orders outstanding lead times

MRP DynamicsMRP Dynamics Supports “replanning”
Problem with system “nervousness”
“Time fence” - allows a segment of the master schedule to be designated as “not to be rescheduled”
“Pegging” - tracing upward in the bill-of-materials from the component to the parent item
That a manager can react to changes, doesn’t mean he/she should
MRP and JITMRP and JIT
MRP - a planning and scheduling technique with fixed lead times
JIT - a way to move material expeditiously Integrating the two:
Small bucket approach and back flushing Balanced flow approach
Lot-Sizing TechniquesLot-Sizing Techniques
Lot-for-lot Economic Order Quantity Part Period Balancing Wagner-Whitin Algorithm
Extensions of MRPExtensions of MRP
Closed loop MRP Capacity planning - load reports MRP II - Material Resource Planning Enterprise Resource Planning
Extensions of MRPExtensions of MRPCapacity PlanningCapacity Planning
Tactics for smoothing the load and minimizing the impact of changed lead time include: Overlapping - reduces the lead time, entails sending pieces
to the second operation before the entire lot has completed the first operation
Operations splitting - sends the lot to two different machines for the same operation
Lot splitting - breaking up the order and running part of it ahead of the schedule

Can be used when demand for service or service items is directly related to or derived from demand for other services restaurant - rolls required for each meal hospitals - implements for surgery etc.
