Manufacturing resource planning

The MRP developed by Oliver Wight among other II concept (Manufacturing Resource Planning), the production program planning (see Material Requirements Planning ) other levels of planning ahead. The business planning and sales planning to set long-term strategies for production. It is forecast at a gross level ( category level, month, height), the product range and planned and ( as machine group level ) compared with the gross capacity data. These plans are reviewed on a rolling basis over again.

The American Production and Inventory Control Society ( APICS ) defines MRPII as follows:

  • " MRPII is to schedule a method to all the resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, the operational planning in units, value-based planning in dollars done. To answer the question " What if? "She has simulation capabilities. MRPII consists of a number of interrelated features: . Annual planning ( Business Planning ), sales and operations planning ( sales and operations planning), production planning ( production planning) and production planning for material and capacity ( execution support systems for capacity and material ) the results of these systems are involved in the business plan, procurement plan, the transportation cost plan and inventory projections, all expressed in dollars. MRP II is a direct extension of the extended to the capacity calculation MRP. "

The long-term and strategic planning in MRP II wins in importance, it starts with the business planning and sales plan. The planning gaining more weight compared with the control. The next planning level, the production program is then the starting point for operations within the MRP I - concept planning steps with her separation between quantities and scheduling.

Remains critical to note that MRP II was one of the first successful buzzwords of the software industry. In many areas were enough minor extensions of the known MRP applications to hierarchical planning modules running, of course, connected to a naming ceremony on MRP II
