  1. Incorporating lot sizing into MRP • Lot sizingruleapplied in MRP can leadinto • Lumpydemandstructure as wegodown in BOM • Lumpydemandstructure can causeseriouscapacityandinventoryproblems.

  2. Problems in MRP • 1 Capacity Infeasibility • MRP assumes fixed lead times regardless of the lot sizes, this implies infinite capacity. • 2 Biased long lead times • MRP assumes constant lead time • Production control managers gives lead times much longer than average manufacturing time to hedge against uncertainties. • Result is large amount of inventories • 3 Ignored uncertainties • Demand, supply, andinternaluncertainties.

  3. Problems in MRP • 4 Rolling horizon effects • The MRP is implemented for the first period and the planning is redone at the beginning of the next period after adding one more period to the panning horizon • The decisions implemented may not be the best after adding the next period to the planning horizon • 5 System nervousness • The changes in the schedules due to the change in master production schedule (forecastupdates, latedelivery of rawmaterialandparts, equipmentfailures, unpredictableyields). • Frozen zones (firm orders); Not to allow any changes in someinitial periods (e.g. 3 weeks) in MPS W.J. Hope and M.L. Spearman, Factory Physics

  4. Capacity Constraints • Often, capacity constraints prohibit implementation of a lot-sizing solution • Example • Demand: 108 148 150 98 65 300 • Optimal Solution: 256, 0, 313, 0, 0, 300 • What if our maximum capacity is 300 units per period? • We assume that we have to meet demand

  5. Capacity Solution • First check overallfeasibilityconsideringcapacity. • Sum of requirements over a number of periods can never be bigger than the sum of capacity over those same periods. • If it isbigger, then we cannot meet demand.

  6. Capacity Solution- feasibility check

  7. SolutiontoCapacity Problem • Simple procedure: • Determine which periods will be over capacity and move the requirements backwardin time • preferable to the closest production period where there is enough capacity • preferably as a complete lot if possible. • Try to improve the solution;eliminatee some lots and shift their productionbackward, completely. • Better procedure: • Incorporate capacity constraints into algorithms.

  8. Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRPII) • In addition to MRP logic, MRPII considers • Adjusting Master Production Scheduling (MPS) • Rough Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) • Quick check of the capacity of a few key resources to ensure the feasibility of MPS • Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) • Detailed check of the capacity using the schedules produced by MRP. • If a workcenter is overloaded, overloading is solvedbyshiftingthe lot toearlier/laterperiods, lot splitting, reroutingetc. W.J. Hope and M.L. Spearman, Factory Physics

Demand Forecast Resource Planning Aggregate Production Planning Rough-cut Capacity Planning Master Production Scheduling Bills of Material Material Requirements Planning Inventory Status Job Pool Capacity Requirements Planning Job Release Routing Data Job Dispatching MRP II Planning Hierarchy Long-term planning Closed-loop MRP Intermediate- term planning Short-term control From : http://www.factory-physics.com

  10. Solving capacity problems • Overlapping • Sends part of the work to following operations before the entire lot is complete, this reduces lead times. • Order or lot splitting • Breaking up the order into smaller lots and running someparts earlier (or later) in the schedule • Operations splitting • Sends the lot to two different machines for the same operation • Shorter throughput time but increased setup costs • Reroutingtheoperation • Selectinganotherwork-centerfortheoperation

  12. Extensions of MRPII • Enterprise Resource Planning • In addition of MRP, ERP involvessupply chain management, customer relationship management, Human resource management, Finance and accounting. • Distribution resource planning • MRP implementation in multi level supply chain, considering all levels.It is a time phasedstockreplenishment plan foralllevels in a supplychain.

  13. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) • An extension of the MRP system to tie in customers and suppliers • Allows automation and integration of many business processesfrom supplier evaluation to customer invoicing. • Shares common data bases and business practices • Produces/usesinformation in real time • Allowscollection of keyperformanceindicatorsandgenerations of manyreports.
