| Abstract: | MRP systems are designed to deal with production scheduling for products with lumpy demand patterns, as opposed to the continuous demand assumed in the classical inventory models. This paper examines the impact of various degrees of demand lumpiness on the system performance of MRP systems by a simulation study. Results show that the performance improves as the demand becomes lumpier. MRP users should exercise caution in the introduction of demand lumpiness in the master production schedule (MPS) to induce a better MRP system performance. |
