A Classification Scheme for Master Production Scheduling

  • Chapter
Efficiency of Manufacturing Systems

Part of the book series: NATO Conference Series ((SYSC,volume 14))

Abstract

Early MRP-systems were developed without recognition of the Master Production Scheduling function. Material Requirements Planning (to become termed later as MRP I) was considered a deterministic mechanism, translating a known demand into planned orders for components and subassemblies-in such a way, that nearly all inventory could be avoided. The question, whether the demand was really known was not posed; the demand had to be known. This idea was reflected in standard software packages for MRP I, where no decision-support systems for master production scheduling were provided (for example PICS [6]).
