Synopses & Reviews
The definitive reference for the next generation of manufacturing practitioners and leaders. -- From the Foreword by Dave Turbide, CFPIM, CMfgE, CIRM, CSCP
Finally, MRP has been brought into our new age where, in order to fight for increased share and profitability, manufacturers must not only cope with market volatility and supply chain variability, they must embrace it as a competitive weapon. -- Bob Reary, Fellow-level Certificate, APICS
A fully revised and updated edition of the landmark work on material requirements planning (MRP), Orlicky's Material Requirements Planning, Third Edition focuses on the new rules required to effectively support a manufacturing operation using MRP systems in the twenty-first century. This authoritative resource offers proven solutions that help you gain the competitive edge through strategic lead time reductions, substantial reductions in total inventory investment, and significant increases in service levels. This is an indispensable tool for manufacturing practitioners and anyone preparing for CPIM certification.
Coverage includes: Inventory in a manufacturing environment Principles of MRP MRP system Processing logic Lot sizing System records and files Product definition Master production schedule Inventory planning and control system System effectiveness Industry effect on MRP Project manufacturing Remanufacturing Process industry application Repetitive manufacturing application Sales and operations planning Evolution of MRP and planning systems Demand driven MRP (DDMRP) logic Strategic inventory positioning Dynamic buffers Demand driven planning Highly visible and collaborative execution DDMRP performance reporting and analytics DDMRP future
Building on the pioneering work of Joseph Orlicky, this new edition of the classic text on material requirements planning (MRP) reveals the next evolutionary step for materials and supply chain synchronization in the modern manufacturing landscape.
Orlicky's Material Requirements Planning, Third Edition reviews the poor business results embedded in many of today's manufacturing systems, discusses the core problems causing these results, explains an alternative pull structure for planning and controlling materials flow, and presents results from actual implementations.
This thoroughly updated edition offers comprehensive coverage of MRP, describes the current state of the MRP application, and identifies the fundamental changes required to achieve sustainable success given the current global circumstances and technology options. This state-of-the art guide articulates the next generation of MRP logic--demand driven MRP (DDMRP)--and provides a roadmap for the near and distant future for this critical manufacturing management tool.

Synopsis
The classic MRP work up-to-date with new information on supply chain synchronization
Thoroughly revised, Orlickys Materials Requirements Planning, Third Edition reviews the poor business results embedded in most of todays 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
