Operations management - How to construct a material requirement plan (MRP)

Material requirement planning, or MRP, is a process that translates the finished product requirements of the master schedule into time-phased requirements for subassemblies, component parts, and raw materials, working backwards from the due date using lead times and other information to determine when and how much to order. To make an MRP, it is required to obtain the necessary number of items to assemble a certain number of end products, knowing the product structure tree and the quantity on hand for each item from the inventory record. Then, construct the assembly time chart to show material order points needed to meet the scheduled availability of the end item. This video illustrates how to make a product structure tree from the given information and then use it along with the inventory record to find the number of individual items required to assemble a certain number of final products. After that, it illustrates how to use the available information about assembly, subassembly, and individual items' lead time to construct the assembly time chart. Finally, it shows how to construct the MRP to determine the size and timing of planned order releases necessary to meet delivery requirements If you want to improve your business process or produce better-quality products in the desired time, then you need to watch this video! By learning about MRP and product structure tree, you'll be able to assemble your products in a timely manner, ensuring customer satisfaction! So tune in, and learn how MRP can help you assemble your product faster and with fewer errors! This video focuses on MRP logic.
