BACKGROUND
In the 1950s, a process called Material Requirements Planning (or “MRP”) revolutionized the world of manufacturing once and for all. But the circumstances have actually changed now. Client tolerance levels have diminished, item complexity and range have increased. Supply chains have spread across the globe. In this “New Normal,” MRP is failing miserably. Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) Version 2 provides a realistic, validated, and evolving as a type of supply chain planning and execution, effortlessly brings the 1950s theory into the age this is certainly contemporary.
What is the difference between DDMRP & MRP?
MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is a push system that initiates production on the basis of given forecasting. Whereas, DDMRP (Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning) as name shows, is a pull system to plan inventories and materials based on current demand.
The Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) is a fresh approach that focuses on production and distribution flows and is supposed to handle uncertainties better than conventional MRP (MRP). DDMRP aims to address MRP’s flaws. Almost 1000 major Global corporations are now using DDMRP.
This approach is used for both planning and implementation, defining:
· Where to store the goods;
· How much should be kept in stock?
· A comprehensive analysis
· Production order generation based on average daily consumption plus authorized sales spikes
· To use visual cues to direct and warn execution.
DDMRP Training & Its Major Components
The DDMRP training is a preliminary course specially designed for planning, purchasing, and supply chain professionals, who are responsible for maintaining and implementing Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning.
This course is designed by leading experts at Demand Driven Institute (DDI). The DDI issues a certificate of completion to each participant. The DDMRP Training includes 13 modules of extensive DDMRP education, given as
1. Planning in the Modern World
2. The Importance of Flow
3. Dynamic Buffer Adjustments
4. Demand Driven Planning
5. Decoupling
6. Becoming Demand Driven
7. Strategic Inventory Positioning
8. Distribution Network Positioning
9. Buffer Profiles and Levels
10. Demand Driven Sales and Operations Planning
11. DDMRP and the Operational Environment
12. Highly Visible and Collaborative Execution
13. Program Summary
The MRP Game: a critical tool to teach production system
The MRP Game explores production management principles from the computer system integration perspective. This game is founded on a set that is coherent with exercises. Participants produce various operations and use the MRP Software program to do calculations. s. Individuals might have learned how to handle a database. This is certainly technical. MRP Game enables participants to enter data and start transactions, plan production order forecasts, compute net specifications, and purchase materials while sticking to the business administration rules after simulation. This is a very organized method, giving each team an easily digestible outline that is rational.
Take Away
This course would help everyone from planners to CEOs, including those in Human Resources, Marketing, Sales, and Finance, both novice and seasoned. They’ll discuss not just the fundamental hard skills, but also the soft skills needed to turn a traditionally run business into a competitive, demand-driven agile enterprise.
