LO211: Explain what material
requirements planning (MRP) is.
LO212: Understand how the MRP system

is structured.
LO213: Analyze an MRP problem.
LO214: Evaluate and compare MRP lot-

sizing techniques.

problem of managing the parts, components, and
materials needed to produce end items
How much of each part to obtain?
When to order or produce the parts?
Dependent demand drives the MPR system
215
216
The master schedule deals with end items and
is a major input to the MRP process.
All production systems have limited capacity
and limited resources.
The aggregate plan provides the general range of
operation; the master scheduler must specify
exactly what is to be produced.
To determine an acceptable feasible schedule to
be released to the shop, trial master production
schedules are tested using the MRP program.
217
Aggregate plan shows
overall quantities to
produce without
specifying type.

MPS shows quantities

of each type, with
information about the

2116
The requirements for end items are retrieved from
the master schedule.
These are referred to as gross requirements by the MRP program.
On-hand balance and schedule of orders are used to

calculate the net requirement.
Net requirements data are used to calculate when

orders should be received to meet these
requirements.
Planned order releases are generated by offsetting

to allow for lead time.
2117
Move to level 1 items.
Gross requirements for each level 1 item are

calculated from the planned-order release
schedule for the parents of each level 1 item.
Net requirements, planned-order receipts, and

planned-order releases are calculated as
described in steps 24.
Repeat for all items in bill of materials.

Ampere, Inc., produces a line of electric meters
installed in residential buildings.
Meters are of two basic types for different voltage
and amperage ranges.
Some subassemblies are sold separately for repair or for
changeovers.
The problem is to determine a production schedule
to identify each item, the period it is needed, and
the appropriate quantities.
The schedule is then checked for feasibility, and the
schedule is modified if necessary.
