Material Requirements Planning (MRP) has become an increasingly challenging area for supply chain management due to a multitude of factors. For instance, the growing use of materials from overseas has greatly affected lead times for those materials. Furthermore, market fluctuation and an increasingly shorter lead time requested by customers has led many businesses to misjudge their stock and experience understocked situations. Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) helps alleviate these problems by enforcing buffers on various items that you can define min, max, and resupply amounts for. This module explores the benefits and applications of DDMRP.
