DDMRP - The Latest Tool in the Planner's Toolbox

Please join APICS New Haven, ASQ New Haven, ASQ Southern Chapters for a joint PDM on the subject Topic presented by John Sawyer.

MRP, which had its debut in the late 1960s, has been transformed into today’s ERP systems.  Along the way, planning features have been modified by additions such as the Toyota Production System (TPS), Total Quality Management (TQM), Lean Manufacturing, 6-Sigma, Theory of Constraints.  Most of these have come about as a result of our customers demanding shorter and shorter lead times, often much shorter than we are capable of.

Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) is a relatively new approach to planning which focuses on reducing our lead times to less than customer requirements while not upending our factory production systems.

This presentation will show DDMRP’s impact on current planning systems, and give a brief high-level view of how DDMRP functions.
