Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning is a formal multi-echelon
planning and execution method developed by Ms. Carol Ptak and Mr. Chad Smith.DDMRP combines blended aspects of Material Requirements Planning (MRP),
Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) with the pull and visibility
emphases found in Lean and the Theory of Constraints and the variability
reduction emphasis of Six Sigma.This method has five sequential components:Strategic Inventory Positioning. Answers the question “Given our system
and environment, where should we place inventory to have the best
protection?” and determines where should decoupling points of inventory be
placed.Buffer Profiles and Levels. Determine the amount of protection at those
decoupling points.Dynamic Adjustments. Allow the company to adapt buffers to group and
individual part trait changes over time through the use of several types
of adjustments.Demand Driven Planning. Allow to launch purchase orders (POs),
manufacturing orders (MOs) and Transfer Orders (TOs) based on the priority
dictated by the buffers.Visible and Collaborative Execution. These POs, MOs and TOs have to be
effectively managed to synchronize with the changes that often occur within
the “execution horizon.”These five components work together to greatly dampen, if not eliminate,
the nervousness of traditional MRP systems and the bullwhip effect in
complex and challenging environments.This approach provides real information about those parts that are
truly at risk of negatively impacting the planned availability of inventory.DDMRP sorts the significant few items that require attention from
the many parts that are being managed. Under the DDMRP approach,
fewer planners can make better decisions more quickly. That means companies
will be better able to leverage their working and human capital.Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning is quickly being adopted
by a wide variety of leading companies across the world.Some of the benefits reported by the DDMRP method include:High fill rate performanceLead time reductionsInventory reductions, while improving customer serviceEliminate costs related to expeditePlanners see priorities instead of constantly fighting the conflicting
messages of MRPIt is highly recommended to read the book ‘Demand Driven Material
Requirements Planning (DDMRP)’ by Carol Ptak and Chad Smith.Table of contentsInstallationConfigurationScheduled actionsDecoupled Lead Time computationUsageBuffersBuffer ProfilesProduct attributesADU Calculation MethodsKnown issues / RoadmapChangelog13.0.1.1.0 (2020-07-01)13.0.1.0.0 (2020-06-11)11.0.1.3.0 (2019-02-21)11.0.1.2.0 (2019-01-29)11.0.1.1.0 (2018-08-31)11.0.1.0.0 (2018-07-16)Bug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsOther creditsMaintainersInstallationWe strongly recommend to modify the configuration of the reservation method
to manual in the outgoing operation types (so deliveries
related to Sales Orders aren’t automatically reserved) and to avoid to
reserve stock for specific moves, buffers are in fact a reservation of stock.
However, whilereservation is discouraged, it is still available to be
used, in case of reserved stock be aware that the buffer will be blind to this
transfers and stock and you are bypassing the DDMRP reordering flow.ConfigurationScheduled actionsGo toSettings > Technical.‘DDMRP Buffer ADU calculation’. Computes the Average Daily Usage for all
Buffers.‘Reordering Rule DDMRP calculation’. Computes the Qualified Demand, Net
Flow Position, Planning and Execution priorities for all Buffers.Decoupled Lead Time computationThe DLT is automatically computed by the system.For manufactured products’ buffers just remember to provide and
set properly the following information:TheManufacturing Lead Timefor the manufactured product. It can be found
at the product form view under the tabSales.TheDelivery Lead Timefor the preferred vendor of a product. This is
important for the products which are purchased and are components in any
Bill of Materials.For purchased/distributed products’ buffers the logic is simpler.In the first place the system will look if there are Vendors for the product,
if so it will use theDelivery Lead Timeof the preferred one.In case of absence of vendors, theLead Timeat the bottom of the Buffer
form view will be used.UsageTo easily identify were are you maintaining buffers in your Bill of
Materials, you will need to first provide location information on the Bills
of Materials.Go toManufacturing / Products / Bill of Materialsand update the
‘Location’ in all the Bill of Materials and associated lines,
indicating where will the parts be placed/used during the manufacturing
process.Print the report ‘BOM Structure’ to display where in your BOM are you
maintaining buffers, and to identify the Lead Time (LT) of each product, and
Decouple Lead Time (DLT).BuffersTo list the list of inventory buffers, go to one of the following:
*Inventory / Master Data / Stock Buffer Planning*Inventory / Master Data / Reordering RulesBuffer ProfilesBuffer profiles make maintenance of buffers easier by grouping them in
profiles. Changes applied to the profiles will be applicable in the
associated buffer calculations.Go toInventory / Configuration / Buffer Profiles.The Buffer Profile Lead Time Factor influences the size of the Buffer Green
zone. Items with longer lead times will usually have smaller green zones, which
will translate in more frequent supply order generation.Go toInventory / Configuration / Buffer Profile Lead Time Factorto
chanThe Buffer Profile Variability Factor influences the size of the Buffer Red
Safety zone. Items with longer lead times will usually have smaller green
zones, which will translate in more frequent supply order generation.Go toInventory / Configuration / Buffer Profile Lead Time Factor.Usual factors should range from 0.2 (long lead time) to 0.8 (short lead time).Product attributesFor manufactured products, go toManufacturing / Productsand
update the ‘Manufacturing Lead Time’ field, available in the tabInventory.For purchased products, go to go toPurchasing / Productsand update theDelivery Lead Timefor each vendor, available in tabPurchaseand sectionVendors.ADU Calculation MethodsThe Average Daily Usage (ADU) defines the frequency of demand of a product in a
certain location. It can be computed in different ways, which you can configure
with ADU calculation methods as follows:Go toInventory / Configuration / DDMRP / ADU calculation methods.Indicate a name, a calculation method (fixed, past-looking,
future-looking or blended).Fill the corresponding period (past, future or both for blended method) to
specify the length of period consideration (in days).Indicate the source of information: stock moves or demand estimates.If you use the blended method fill also thePast FactorandFuture Factor.If you do not have prior history of stock moves in your system, it is advised
to use fixed method or start to work on future estimates. If you have
past-history of stock moves, best use past-looking method or blended method.The ADU is computed every day by default in a background job independently
from the other buffer fields. This computation can be done with less frequency
but it is not recommended to run it less than weekly or more than daily.
Circumstantially, If you need to force the calculation of the ADU go toInventory / Configuration / DDMRP / Run DDMRPand click onRun ADU calculation.Known issues / RoadmapThe DDMRProadmapandknown issuescan
