How can you calculate demand using MRP?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

If you work in manufacturing, you know how important it is to plan your production efficiently and avoid excess inventory or stockouts. One of the tools that can help you do that is MRP, or material requirements planning. MRP is a system that calculates the quantity and timing of materials, components, and finished goods that you need to meet your customer demand. But how do you calculate demand using MRP? In this article, we'll explain the basic steps and concepts of MRP and how you can use it to optimize your production process.

1 MRP inputs

To calculate demand using MRP, the first step is to gather the necessary inputs. These are data that feed into the MRP system and determine the output. The main inputs are the Master Production Schedule (MPS), which outlines what you want to produce and when based on sales forecast and customer orders, the Bill of Materials (BOM) which is a list of all materials, components, and subassemblies needed for each finished product, and inventory records which show current stock levels and availability of each item in the BOM along with lead time, lot size, and safety stock.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) typically requires inputs such as inventory levels, production schedules like required start dates or end dates of order / PIR, bill of materials, and demand forecasts to effectively plan and manage materials needed for production.

2 MRP output

The second step to calculate demand using MRP is to run the MRP system and generate the output. This output is the result of applying a set of mathematical formulas and logic to the inputs, and includes planned order releases, gross requirements, net requirements, and projected inventory. Planned order releases provide recommendations for when and how much to order or produce each item in the BOM, while gross requirements are the total demand for each item derived from the MPS and BOM. Net requirements are the actual demand for each item after subtracting inventory records, and projected inventory shows expected levels of each item after accounting for planned orders and net requirements. This output is essential for understanding when and how much to order or produce each item in order to meet demand.

MRP generates outputs like planned production schedules with dates based on infinite scheduling, order quantities, and material requirements to help optimize inventory levels and ensure timely production to meet demand.

3 MRP benefits

The third step to calculate demand using MRP is to use the output to make decisions and take actions. This output can help reduce inventory costs by ordering or producing only what is needed and when it's needed. It can also improve customer service by aligning production with customer demand, as well as enhance production efficiency by planning ahead of time. All of these strategies can save money, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce production time, costs, and errors.

1. Minimizes excess inventory and lowers carrying costs. 2. Aligns production with demand, reducing the risk of stockouts. 3. Streamlines procurement, ensuring timely material availability. 4. Optimizes manpower, machines, and materials for efficiency. 5. Reduces errors in order quantities, ensuring the right materials.

4 MRP challenges

The fourth step to calculate demand using MRP is to be aware of the potential challenges and limitations of MRP, as it is not a perfect system and relies on accurate and reliable inputs and outputs. Data quality is essential, as inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete MPS, BOM, or inventory records will cause flawed and misleading MRP output. Additionally, demand variability should be taken into account when adjusting MPS to reflect actual demand. Finally, supply chain disruptions should be monitored and backup sources should be available in case of problems. To ensure accuracy, it is important to update and verify data regularly and have contingency plans in place.

Major challenge in Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is the susceptibility to disruptions, such as sudden / immediate changes / withdrawn in demand, supply chain issues, or inaccurate forecasting, which can lead to suboptimal inventory management and production inefficiencies.

5 MRP best practices

The fifth step to calculate demand using MRP is to follow some best practices to make the most of it. MRP is not a one-time or isolated process, but a continuous and integrated one, so it's important to communicate and coordinate with your internal and external stakeholders, such as sales, engineering, purchasing, and suppliers. You also need to review and revise your MRP inputs and outputs regularly, comparing actual performance with planned performance and updating MPS, BOM, and inventory records. To evaluate and improve your MRP process and results, measure its performance using key indicators like inventory turnover, fill rate, service level, and order lead time. Analyze your MRP data using tools such as ABC analysis, Pareto analysis, and what-if analysis. Finally, implement corrective and preventive actions to improve MRP efficiency and effectiveness.

Demand consist of firm and Unfirm. Cofirm sale orders for MTO and forecast for MTS nature of item joinly contibute to MPS. Expired Lots, Safety Stock, dependent demand for SFG items will give additional input to system to generate Planned Order for this additional demand while doing Net MRP planning.
