Supply Chain Analytics: Material Requirements Planning and DRP

This assignment solution focuses on Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Distribution Resource Planning (DRP) within the context of supply chain analytics. It includes calculations and analysis for product A, product F, and component G, detailing gross requirements, scheduled receipts, projected available balance, net requirements, and planned order releases. The analysis explains how projected balances are achieved, planned orders are managed based on lead times and lot sizes, and how safety stock levels influence order quantities. The document also provides insights into how the requirements of related products impact the planning process for components like Part G, ensuring that the planned release dates align with the overall production and distribution schedule. Desklib offers a wealth of similar solved assignments and study resources to aid students in their academic pursuits.

MRP and DRP
This is the following calculation have been done for MRP record for the product A, product F
and component G which is as follows.
Product A
Time (weeks) 1 2 3 4 5
Gross requirement 5 3 10 15 15
Scheduled receipt 5
Projected available balance 10 10 7 0 0 0
Net requirements 0 0 10 15 15
Planned order receipts 0 0 0 3 15 15
Planned order release 0 0 3 15 15 0
Lead Time (LT)=1wk, Q(lot size)= lot-for-lot; ss (safety stock)=0
Product F
Time (weeks) 1 2 3 4 5
Gross requirement 10 20 25 15 5
Scheduled receipt 15
Projected available balance 15 5 0 0 0 0
Net requirements 0 0 25 15 5
Planned order receipts 0 0 0 25 15 5
Planned order release 25 15 5 0 0
LT=2wk, Q= lot-for-lot; ss=0
Part G
Time (weeks) 1 2 3 4 5
Gross requirement 25 21 35 30 0
Scheduled receipt 20

Solution-2
The MRP record for Product A obtained from given condition is shown above, the projected
were achieved as given in excel sheet. The results shows that, For Part A the projected available
balance is required for next two only which 10 and 7, the three week will be carried on by
planned order received. Planned order started from week third week which has 3 items in first
week after that it is 15 and 15 for next two week. The scheduled receipt as given in question
lasted for one week only.
The MRP record for product F indicates that schedule receipt for material is available on second
week; therefore we have to proceed from projected available balance directly. The Projected
available balance is used for first two week; the planned order release comes as zero because
initial reference cell is having text. the planned order release starts from second week and ends in
third week, because it is its lead time is 2 week. Because there is no safety stock in the item, so
rest of the result is given in the second table of excel sheet.
It is clear that part G is related with Product A and product F both; therefore most of the
calculation comes as keeping both of products in mind, projected available balance for Part G is
stared from 30 in week one and lasted for 5th week of this MRP schedule. Because its quantities
are in the lot of 20, therefore, planned release date started from first week and lasted for third
week. For part G the gross requirement is calculated a two times of part A and one time of part F,
and the result comes as 25, 21, 35, 30 and 0 for 5th week. It is visible that safety stock is
depleting in week 3, therefore, order to overcome this safety stock in week 3 week, order
quantity of 20 units is planned in week 1.
