The classic MRP work up-to-date with new information on supply chain synchronization

Thoroughly revised, Orlicky’s Material Requirements Planning, Third Edition reviews the poor business results embedded in most of today’s business systems; discusses the core problems causing the results; presents and discusses an alternative pull structure for planning and controlling materials flow; and presents initial results from actual implementations. This new edition reveals the next evolutionary step for materials and supply chain synchronization in the modern manufacturing landscape. This update describes:

  • A solution to a chronic MRP-related problem that plagues many manufacturers: shortages of materials, components that block the smooth flow of work through the plant
  • A competitive edge through strategic lead time reductions
  • Significant reductions in total inventory investment
  • Significant increases in service levels

This new edition helps companies tackle three pervasive problems: unacceptable inventory performance; unacceptable service level performance; and high related expenses and waste.

New to This Edition:

  • New section on manufacturing as the heart of the supply chain management, and specific challenges in the 21st century
  • Covers supply chain management (SCM) and distribution requirements planning (DRP)
  • Discusses the impact of Lean and the Toyota Production System
  • Update of integration software
  • Reviews the emergence of demand-driven strategies and the MRP “conflict”
  • Introduces the new concept of ASR (Actively Synchronized Replenishment) and explains how to incorporate it into business processes
  • Explains positioning and how Six Sigma can help achieve results
  • In-depth discussion of buffers – how to size, maintain, and adjust them
  • New chapter on using MRP tools across the supply chain to enable pull-based approaches
  • New case studies which illustrating the techniques described in the book
