An empirical study of Demand-Driven MRP
Résumé
The Demand-Driven MRP (DDMRP) is a method for managing flows in manufacturing
and distribution flows that is supposed to manage uncertainties better than traditional Manufacturing
Resources Planning (MRP) using some of the principles of pull approaches. In this paper, a casestudy
is investigated in order to objectively and quantitatively compare these two systems. A
Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) approach is used to evaluate the impacts on system behaviors
regarding both management methods. Results show insights on the interests of DDMRP.
