Dept. of ME, JSSATE, Bengaluru
• A technique of determining the quantity and timing
for the acquisition of dependent demand items
needed to satisfy the MPS requirements.
• A computerized inventory control and production
planning system.
• The main objective of any inventory system is to
ensure that material is available when needed.
• One objective of MRP is to maintain the lowest
possible level of inventory.
• MRP does this by determining when component
items are needed and scheduling them to be ready at
that time, no earlier and no later.

• MRP is useful for dependent and discrete demand
items, complex products, job shop production, and
assemble-to-order environments.
• Managing component demand inventory is different
from managing finished goods inventory.
• Independent demand is demand for a finished
product, such as a computer, a bicycle, or a pizza.
• Dependent Demand: Demand for components that are
derived from the demand for the other items.
• Parent and component items: A parent is an assembly
made up of basic parts or components.

Terms used in MRP
8. 8
Dept. of ME, JSSATE, Bengaluru
• Lot size: The quantity of items required for an order
(purchased from vendor or produced in-house).
• Time phasing: Scheduling to produce or receive an
appropriate amount (lot) of material so that it will be
available in the time periods when needed – not before
or after.
• Time bucket: The time period used for planning
purposes in MRP, usually a week.
• Bill of materials: A listing of all the components
(subassemblies and materials) that go into an
assembled item. It includes the part numbers and
quantity required per assembly.
Terms used in MRP
9. 9
Dept. of ME, JSSATE, Bengaluru
• Gross requirements: The total expected demand for an
item or raw material during each time period without
regard to the amount on hand.
• For end items, these quantities are shown in the master
schedule; for components, these quantities are derived
from the planned-order releases of their immediate
“parents.”
• Projected on hand: The expected amount of inventory
that will be on hand at the beginning of each time
period (scheduled receipts plus available inventory
from last period).
• Net requirements: The actual amount needed in each
time period.
Terms used in MRP
10. 10
Dept. of ME, JSSATE, Bengaluru
• Scheduled receipt: Materials already on order from a vendor
or in-house shop. In MRP, both the quantity and the
projected time of receipt are shown.
• Planned receipt: Materials that will be ordered from a
vendor or in-house shop. Otherwise, it is similar to scheduled
receipt (no difference in some MRPs)
• Lead-time offset: The supply time, or number of time
buckets between releasing an order and receiving the
materials.
• Planned order release: The plan (quantity & date) to initiate
the purchase or manufacture of items so that they will be
received on schedule after the lead time offset.
• Time fence: Management-specified date within which no
changes in the master schedule are allowed.

MRP Processing (Logic)
• The MRP process consists of four basic steps:
• (1) exploding the bill of material
• (2) netting out inventory
• (3) lot sizing, and
• (4) time-phasing requirements.
• The process is performed again and again, moving down
the product structure until all items have been
scheduled.

Purchasing
and
Supply Chain Management
48. 48
Dept. of ME, JSSATE, Bengaluru
Purchasing, Procurement
• Purchasing is the first phase of Materials
Management.
• Purchasing refers to the actual buying of materials
and the activities associated with it.
• Procurement includes purchasing, transportation,
warehousing and inbound receiving.
• Procurement is a closed loop process that begins
with the requisition and ends with the payment.
49. 49
Dept. of ME, JSSATE, Bengaluru
Purchasing
• Purchasing is a managerial activity that goes beyond
the simple act of buying.
• It includes research and development for the proper
selection of materials and sources, follow-up to ensure
timely delivery; inspection to ensure both quantity and
quality; to control traffic, receiving, storekeeping and
accounting operations related to purchases.
• The modern thinking is that Purchasing is a strategic
managerial function and any negligence will ultimately
result into decrease in profits.
50. 50
Dept. of ME, JSSATE, Bengaluru
Purchasing - Importance
• Purchasing function provides materials to the factory
without which wheels of machines cannot move.
• A one percent saving in materials cost is equivalent to a 10
percent increase in turnover. Efficient buying can achieve
this.
• Increasing proportion of one’s requirements are now
bought instead of being made as was the practice in the
earlier days. Buying, therefore, assumes significance.
• Purchasing is the main factor in timely execution of
industrial projects.
• Materials management organisations that exist now have
evolved out or purchasing departments.
51. 51
Dept. of ME, JSSATE, Bengaluru
Purchasing -Objectives
• To pay reasonably low prices for the best values
obtainable, negotiating and executing all company
commitments.
• To keep inventories as low as is consistent with
maintaining production.
• To develop satisfactory sources of supply and maintain
good relations with them.
• To secure good vendor performance including prompt
deliveries and acceptable quality.
• To locate new materials or products as required.
• To implement such programmes as value analysis, cost
analysis, and make-or-buy to reduce cost of purchases.
