Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning
DDMRP or Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning is generally a method to plan, model and manage supply chains to protect and promote the flow of necessary information and materials. The DDMRP methodology combines various principles such as:
- Strategic Decoupling:
- DDMRP uses strategic decoupling points in order to drive order generation and management all through a supply chain. Generally decoupling the supply chain creates separation or self-determination between processes or entities and is the only method to stop the bullwhip effect, compress lead times and mitigate variability.
- Buffer Sizing:
- It is the shock absorber that mainly helps to ease both demand and supply variability and lessen or eliminate the bullwhip effect.
- Demand-driven planning:
- This generally comprises generating supply orders by analysing actual inventory, qualified sales order demand, and stock that has been ordered but not received.
- Collaborative and visible execution:
- The ordering lead times and material delivery can be coordinated, when users have visibility into inventory that is done over alerts that track usage.
- At SSA Techknowlogies, we are engaged in DDMRP consulting & Solution Implementation. We are well-capable to redefine your scheduling process in order to combine the visibility of MRP systems with the elemental pull methods of Lean. Feel free to call us whenever you need support in implementing Demand Driven concepts and software in your facility.
