Batch sizing in different planning period is categorized as a classical problem in production planning, that so many exact & heuristic methods have been proposed to solve this problem, each of which considering various aspects of the original problem. The solution obtained from majority – e.g. MRP – is in this format that there may be some periods of idleness or each period should produce a...

Cyclic production, which is distinctive of recycling and chemical processes, and by-products can hardly be managed in common ERP systems. This problem is discussed using graph representations like gozintographs. Furthermore an approach is presented to handle by-products and cyclic production with common gozintograph structures for acceptable solutions in the material requirements planning (MRP)...

The objective of this study is to determine how to do forward-looking analysis to determine the future need for various professionals, so that educational institutes can produce an appropriate labor force for national development. The concept of component part commonality, which derives from research on effective inventory management using material resource planning MRP , can also be applied to...

In manufacturing the interaction between the design of a product and the process to manufacture this product is studied in detail. Consider for example Material Requirements Planning (MRP), which is mainly driven by the Bill-Of-Material (BOM). For information-intensive products such as insurance, loans, permits, and many other services, the relationship with the supporting workjlow process is o...

Caenorhabditis elegans gut granules are lysosome-related organelles with birefringent contents. mrp-4, which encodes an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter homologous to mammalian multidrug resistance proteins, functions in the formation of gut granule birefringence. mrp-4(-) embryos show a delayed appearance of birefringent material in the gut granule but otherwise appear to form gut granul...

The materials requirements planning (MRP) approach, applied in production planning and management has some weaknesses. One of those is the discreteness of time so called time periods in this approach which makes it impossible to order the requirements at irregular time moments or periods. In this paper, a new form of MRP, named as continuous materials requirements planning (CMRP) approach, is i...
