Material requirements planning MRP is a computer-based inventory management system designed to improve productivity for businesses.
Companies use material requirements-planning systems to estimate quantities of raw materials and schedule their deliveries.
MRP is designed to answer three questions:. MRP works backward from a production plan for finished goods, which is converted into a list of requirements for the subassemblies, component parts, and raw materials needed to produce the final product within the established schedule. In other words, it's basically a system for trying to figure out the materials and items needed to manufacture a given product.
MRP helps manufacturers get a grasp of inventory requirements while balancing both supply and demand. By parsing raw data—like bills of lading and shelf life of stored materials—this technology provides meaningful information to managers about their need for labor and supplies, which can help companies improve their production efficiency. The MRP process can be broken down into four basic steps:. A critical input for material requirements planning is a bill of materials BOM —an extensive list of raw materials, components, and assemblies required to construct, manufacture or repair a product or service.
BOM specifies the relationship between the end product independent demand and the components dependent demand. Independent demand originates outside the plant or production system, and dependent demand refers to components. Companies need to manage the types and quantities of materials they purchase strategically; plan which products to manufacture and in what quantities; and ensure that they are able to meet current and future customer demand—all at the lowest possible cost.
MRP helps companies maintain low inventory levels. Making a bad decision in any area of the production cycle will cause the company to lose money.
The information input into MRP systems comes from three main sources: a bill of materials, a master schedule, and an inventory records file. The bill of materials is a listing of all the raw materials, component parts, subassemblies, and assemblies required to produce one unit of a specific finished product. Each different product made by a given manufacturer will have its own separate bill of materials.
The bill of materials is arranged in a hierarchy, so that managers can see what materials are needed to complete each level of production.
MRP uses the bill of materials to determine the quantity of each component that is needed to produce a certain number of finished products. From this quantity, the system subtracts the quantity of that item already in inventory to determine order requirements. The master schedule outlines the anticipated production activities of the plant. Developed using both internal forecasts and external orders, it states the quantity of each product that will be manufactured and the time frame in which they will be needed.
The master schedule separates the planning horizon into time "buckets," which are usually calendar weeks. The schedule must cover a time frame long enough to produce the final product. This total production time is equal to the sum of the lead times of all the related fabrication and assembly operations. It is important to note that master schedules are often generated according to demand and without regard to capacity. An MRP system cannot tell in advance if a schedule is not feasible, so managers may have to run several possibilities through the system before they find one that works.
The inventory records file provides an accounting of how much inventory is already on hand or on order, and thus should be subtracted from the material requirements. The inventory records file is used to track information on the status of each item by time period. This includes gross requirements, scheduled receipts, and the expected amount on hand.
It includes other details for each item as well, like the supplier, the lead-time, and the lot size. Using information culled from the bill of materials, master schedule, and inventory records file, an MRP system determines the net requirements for raw materials, component parts, and subassemblies for each period on the planning horizon.
MRP processing first determines gross material requirements, then subtracts out the inventory on hand and adds back in the safety stock in order to compute the net requirements.
