Demand Driven MRP or DDMRP for short, provides a modern day solution to managing dependencies and variability in the changing environment of today.

With Strategic Inventory Positioning, and the Dynamic Buffer concepts, Demand Driven MRP can bring:

• Reduced inventory
• Compressed lead times
• Increased customer service
• Increased stability
• Less nervousness
• Increased productivity
• Fewer disruptions?

DDMRP is a proven muti-echelon demand and supply planning and execution methodology. Multi-echelon is how the DDMRP solution integrates multiple tiers (including the bill of material) in the supply chain in order to provide end to end integrated planning and execution visibility. DDMRP was invented in order to mitigate the effects of variability and volatility in manufacturing operations and supply chians and promote visibility and velocity.

DDMRP is an unprecedented no compromise fusion of relevant MRP and DRP tactics combined with the pull-based approaches and signals of Lean and TOC. DDMRP includes planning and execution innovations for better lead time compression and execution visibility. It takes Lean’s waste redustion focus and visibility for execution and combines it with a new set of demand driven planning tactics that provides unprecedented planning visibility across an enterprise and supply chain.
