DDMRP

In this ever-changing world, MRP techniques fall short when planning dynamic demands. In most cases, demands are not fixed, and companies tend to have stock shortages or overstock, which brings serious cost and storage problems. Under this reality, DDMRP is created as a methodology to address this problem.

DDMRP is a planning framework that’s used to protect and promote the flow of the supply chain by strategically placing stock buffers in critical locations. This method also combines relevant methods from MRP and DRP with the pull and visibility we can find working with the Lean methodology.

DDMRP can be summarized in its three pillars: position, protect, and pull: position the relevant inventory as decoupling points in our warehouse, protect that inventory by quickly reacting to the demand, and pull the inventory by driving the demand under the planning.

DDMRP methodology is disseminated worldwide by the Demand Driven Institute. You can access their website...
