Net requirements plan logic
(Gross requirements+allocations)~total requirements -(on hand + scheduled receipts)~available inventory
MPS can be expressed in various terms...
-A customer order in a job shop (make-to-order) company - printing, machine shops, fine dining . . . -Modules in a repetitive (assemble-to-stock) company, such as Harley Davidson making engines on a line -An "end item" in a continuous (make-to-stock or build to forecast) company - many items such as steel, beer, bread, light bulbs, etc.
ERP can be customized to meet ____________ biz requirements What can erp systems be integrated with?
-ERP can be customized to meet specific business requirements -ERP systems can be integrated with -----Warehouse management -----Logistics ----Electronic catalogs -----Quality management
BOM 2nd requirement
-List of components, or ingredients, or materials needed to make product (including quantities of each) -Provides product structure ===Items above given level are called parents ===Items below given level are called children (or components)
Master Production Schedule
-MPS is established in terms of specific products -Schedule must be followed for a reasonable length of time, in other words - near term is "frozen". -The MPS is often fixed or frozen in the near-term part of the plan -The MPS is a rolling schedule (as each week is completed, another week is added) -The MPS is a statement of what is to be produced, not a forecast of demand
MRP II
-Once an MRP system is in place, inventory data can be augmented by other useful information ----Labor hours ----Material costs -----Capital costs ------Virtually any resource -System is generally called MRP II or Material Resource Planning
Dependent Demand characteristics
-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 and should be calculated -In general, for any well-defined product for which a schedule can be established, dependent techniques should be used. -MRP is the common technique used in a variety of organizations
Gross requirements plan
-uses time-phased product structure & orders to plan required dates & order dates for different components -assumes that there is no inventory on hand Total demand for a component before netting of on-hand inventory and scheduled receipts.

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 These benefits re the results of a strategic decision to use a dependent inventory scheduling system
Disadvantages of ERP systems
1.Is very expensive to purchase and even more so to customize 2.Implementation may require major changes in the company and its processes 3.Is so complex that many companies cannot adjust to it 4.Involves an ongoing, possibly never ending, process for implementation 5.Expertise is limited with ongoing staffing problems
What does dependent demand require? what are the inputs for MRP process?
1.Master Production Schedule (MPS) - what to make and when 2.Specifications or Bill of Material 3.Inventory availability (on hand or in stock) 4.Purchase orders outstanding (Expected Receipts) 5.Lead times

Net Requirement
Result of applying gross requirements (and allocations), against inventory on hand and scheduled receipts (and safety stock). Net requirements, lot sized and offset for lead time, become planned orders.

Bill of Materials
a list of the hierarchy of components, their description, and the quantity of each required to make one unit of a product
Other types of BOM- Low level coding
a number that identifies items at the lowest level at which they occur -Item is coded at the lowest level at which it occurs -BOMs are processed one level at a time
Net requirements plan
adjusts for on-hand inventory as well as scheduled receipts
MRP II systems
are seldom standalone programs. Most are tied into other computer software. Purchasing, Production scheduling, capacity planning, inventory, and warehouse management systems are a few examples of this data integration
Other types of BOM- Phantom Bills
bills of material for components, usually assemblies that only exist temporarily, they are never inventoried -Describe subassemblies that exist only temporarily -These "items" to directly into another assembly and are never inventoried
Other types of BOM - modular bills
bills of material organized by major subassemblies or by product options -Modular Bills =====Modules are not final products but components that can be assembled into multiple end items =====Can significantly simplify planning and scheduling
The minimum record accuracy required for successful MRP is approximately which of the following? Part 2 A. 90% B. 95% C. 99% D. 97% E. lower than 90%
c 99%
The MPS _______________the Aggregate Production Schedule
disaggregates
Purchase Orders Outstanding
knowledge of outstanding orders exists as a by-product of well-managed purchasing and inventory-control departments. When purchase orders are executed, records of those orders and their scheduled delivery dates must be available to production personnel. Only with good purchasing data can managers prepare meaningful production plans and effectively execute MRP system.
The time-phased product structure, unlike the bill of material, adds the concept of _________________
lead times.
Other types of BOM - planning bills
material groupings created in order ton assign an artificial parent to a bill of material- also called pseudo 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
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
software for the "incoming side" of the business. CRM is designed to aid analysis of sales, target the most profitable customers and manage the sales force.
The time-phased product structure
when a bill of material is turned on its side and modified by adding lead times for each component
Master Production Schedule
▶Specifies what is to be made and when, in order to satisfy demand ▶Must be in accordance with the aggregate production plan / S&OP which includes inputs from financial plans, customer demand, engineering, supplier performance, HR and more ▶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
Demand for a given item is said to be dependent if: Part 2 A. there is a deep bill of material. B. there is a clearly identifiable parent. C. the finished products are mostly services (rather than goods). D. it originates from the external customer. E. the item has several children.
Demand for a given item is said to be dependent if: B. there is a clearly identifiable parent. Your answer is correct.
Define Dependent demand
Demand that is directly related to or derived from the BOM structure for other items or end products. Such demands are therefore calculated and should not be forecast.
