MRP (Material Requirement Planning)


 MRP system is a software-based solution to plan production, raw material purchase,
finished product delivery and manages entire inventory at various levels.
 MRP begins with customer order and delivery date to which manufacturer have to make
ensure that they have enough inventories (materials) to support the demand.
 MRP is a production planning and inventory control system use to manage
manufacturing process through software’s.
 Software’s used in MRP are: MRP 2000, MRP 9000, Stock master, MRP pulse, SAP etc.

Application of MRP:
1. To improve customer service by meeting delivery schedules and minimizing delivery lead
time.
2. Reduce raw material cost by scientific way of planning
3. Better machine utilization and high productivity.
4. Avoid inventory stock out.
5. Ability to change master production schedule
6. Better response to market demands.

Just in Time (JIT):


 The term JIT means to “Produce only what is needed”.
 There are two types of JIT:
 Just in time production
 Just in time purchasing

 JIT production is defined as “A system which is driven by demand for finished products”.
i.e. Each component is produced only when needed for the next stage.

In a JIT environment, the key features are…


 Absence of a large amount of materials
 Lower percentage of total cost of production
 Simple accounting system of stores.

A JIT is capable of achieving following…


 Zero inventories.
 Batch size is one.
 A 100% on time delivery service.
 Estimation of non-value added activities.

Advantages of JIT:
1. Less space needed: Faster turnaround of stock, company doesn’t need as much storage
space to store goods. This reduces the amount of storage an organization needs to rent or
buy.
2. Waste reduction: Faster turnaround of stock prevents damage of goods and reduces
waste. This saves money by preventing investment in unnecessary stock. Also reduces
the need to replace old stock.
3. Smaller investments: JIT inventory management is ideal for smaller companies that
don’t have funds to purchase huge stock at once.
4. Lower inventory holding cost: As the quantity of material to be stored is reduced, the
cost of holding inventory will be less.
5. Less deterioration obsolescence: In this system, deterioration (becoming progressively
worse) of materials during storage and obsolescence (outdated) is greatly reduced.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (SCM):


 Supply chain management is managing the supply chain network of organizations and the
business processes for getting the raw materials, transforming them into finished goods,
and distributing the products to the customers.
 The supply chain links many business entities, such as supplier, manufacturer,
transporter, distributor retailer, and the customers.
 The supply chains of different organizations may differ in the number of entities and it is
not always required for a supply chain to have all the entities.
 The supply chain is driven by three main inputs namely information, materials and funds
 The raw material sources from suppliers are transformed into products and finished
goods through manufacturing facilities.
 The finished products are shipped to distribution centers and from there to retailers and
ultimately to the customers.
 The ultimate goal of supply chain management system is to efficiently manage the flow of
information, materials and funds across supply chain, thereby reducing the cost of supply
chain.

Supply Chain Management

Benefits of Supply Chain Management (SCM)


1) Improve the customer service by delivering them the right product at the right time and
at the right location, which in turn increases the organization's sales.
2) Enable the companies to bring the products to the market at a quicker rate. Thus, the
companies get their payment soon.
3) Lower total supply chain cost, including procuring materials cost, transportation cost,
inventory, carrying cost, etc. The reduction in supply chain cost helps to increase the
firm's profitability.

First In First Out (FIFO)


 First In First Out (FIFO) is one of the methods used to find out the cost of materials issued
from stores.
 This method is also known as original cost method.
 In this system, goods received are entered in the stores record at actual cost plus other
charges such as freight, taxes, insurance etc.
 In this method, the materials which are first received are first issued.
 Material from the second lot is issued only after the material from the first lot is
exhausted.
 The prices are charged at the cost at which the lot was purchased.

Application: This method is suitable when:


 Where size and cost of material is large
 Where at any time, more than 2 or 3 lots are not likely to remain in stock
 Where the production is rapid
