future requirements for all types of inventory to avoid overstocking while avoiding ‘bottlenecks’ in production, c) keep cost to a minimum by variety reduction, economical lot sizes and analysis of costs incurred in obtaining and carrying inventories, and d) provide upstream and downstream inventory visibility in the supply chain. What is MRP? Material Requirements Planning or MRP is a computer – based inventory management system and a dependent demand technique that uses bill – of – material, inventory
MRP I primarily address the inbound flow of inventory (materials management), MRP II adds other interfaces such as finance, marketing, and integrated logistics. Like MRP I, MRP II is a push inventory model which pushes product through manufacturing and distribution processes in order to meet forecast demand.

In addition, there will be an analysis on the trade-offs between the overtime and inventory
Finally, we can say that by using this strategy of operational excellence is also an interesting strategy because of their geographical location. It’s an urbanized region, which will need a large quantity of doors. Shenzhen is also located closely to Hong Kong and they have all the resources available. Furthermore, shipping from/to here is quite fast and relatively cheap. Additionally the labor this area is known the be fairly low. Especially for the large projects as for hotels, a large order will
INTRODUCTION Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) is one of the integral production control techniques used in Enterprise resource planning(ERP). It calculates the net requirements for materials based on its dependence on other materials and develop procurement proposals which are often in the form of purchase requisitions and planned orders. The MRP creates planned orders for all finished and semi-finished products and aims to make sure that the company has sufficient availability of material to meet
Production planning entails the organisation of an overall manufacturing process to manufacture the end product. In garment industry, different activities involved in production planning are designing the end product, determining the machinery required and capacity planning, plant layout and material handling , establishment of sequence of operations for a style and nature of the operations to be carried out and specification of certain production quantity and quality levels. Production planning and control
inputs (tiny devices) in forms of reels. Reels of the desired material is loaded to the machine and software does the rest of the job. As the SMD Machine needs materials in reels, the requirement for a separate warehouse, other than the Raw Materials Warehouse, occurred. The cause of this requirement is that the shelves of the Raw Materials Warehouse were not suitable for storing this kind of sensitive devices and that finding the material you need would be very time consuming as there are lots of
