Demand-driven materials requirements planning is a planning method that does not really use a bill of materials explosion to determine how you plan the part. But what other elements of lean manufacturing can you do with DDMRP?
Most discrete manufacturing organizations rely on a bill of material (BOM) to understand demand for component parts and materials required to manufacture products and satisfy orders or projected demand. Demand-driven materials requirements planning (DDMRP), however, is a planning method that does not really use a bill of materials explosion to determine how you plan the part.
But what other elements of lean manufacturing can you do with DDMRP?
Here we explore:
- A basic definition of DDMRP
- How DDMRP and lean concepts coalesce
- How ERP certified for DDMRP can help
