Popis: A material requirement planning is a technique that uses the bill of material, inventory data and a master schedule to calculate requirements for material. It also takes into account the combination of the bill of material structure and assembly lead times. The result of an MRP plan is a material plan for each item found in the bill of material structure which indicates the amount of new material required, the date on which it is required. The new schedule dates for material that is currently on order. If routings, with defined labor requirements are available, a capacity plan will be created concurrently with the MRP material plan. The MRP plan can be run for any number entities (which could be physically separated inventories) and can include distributor inventories, if the system has access to this type of information. MRP tries to strike the best balance possible between optimizing the service level and minimizing costs and capital lockup. In this paper it is tried to present a practical M.R.P. problem and is shown how it is helpful in optimizing the service level and minimizing costs.
