Class Agenda
Day 1
Presentation: Materials Management View of MRP
- Presentation on MRP & MRP II concepts and philosophies.
Regenerative MRP
- Features
- How Regenerative MRP Works
- Master Schedulers W/B
- Firm Planned orders are created if order policy is "Master Schedule"
- Orders are based on the M/S
- M/S orders can be released to create Shop Orders
Review Engineers W/B for related fields.
- Planning Type
- Order Policy
- Classification
- Sensitivity
- Fence
- Minimum Order
- Maximum Order
- Multiples Of
- Number of Days (Order Policy POQ)
- Fixed Order Quantity (Order Policy fixed P/P Bal. EOQ)
- Safety Stock
Product Structuring:
Regular versus Special Assemblies
- Explanation of the Two Functions
- Impact on Netting
- Combining the Functions
- Traditional Build to Stock/Traditional Build to Order
Set up Training Sample multi-level Product Structure, includes:
- Regular assemblies
- Minimum order quantity
- Safety stock
- Multiples
Day 2
MRP II Workshop
- Full day of MRP II processing using a conference room pilot
Using Regenerative MRP
- Remove Old Plan
- Explode Old Plan Only
- Explode New Master Schedules, Then Regenerate
- Use Old Master Schedule to Regenerate
Regenerative MRP Program Exclusivity
Explain the MRP Related Reports
- Unplanned Items below Order Point
- Items with Exceptions
Executing MRP II
Class participants are assigned rolls and responsibilities and are required to participate on processing orders using MRP II: (i.e., Master Scheduler, Production Planners, Buyer/Planners).
Orders are entered. Regenerative MRP is processed, results are discussed. Action to satisfy exceptions are taken. Reports are printed and discussed. All workbench functions associated with MRP processing are discussed in detail.
Additional Topics of Discussion
Time fences are discussed. Are they necessary? How do they facilitate the Planning and Manufacturing process?
- Demand Time Fence (DTF)
- Planning Time Fence (PTF)
Planning Bills: Are they necessary? How can they facilitate the planning process?
- Modular
- Common Parts
