On the unification of bills of materials and routings (EN)

Tatsiopoulos, IP (EN)

This paper examines first the far-reaching consequences of unifying bills of material and routings on the basic functions of production planning and control, i.e.: (a) On the structure of the production database and the opportunity for significant simplification; (b) On the mid-term planning of materials and capacities (traditional MRP and CRP software modules) and the chances for simultaneous planning of materials and capacities; (c) On the opportunity to support the extended enterprise and lean production concepts through better planning of the supply chain; (d) On shop floor control and the chances for reducing the volume of transactions and apply more effective scheduling strategies. In parallel, the paper proposes a new production planning and control (PPC) concept which capitalizes on the above consequences. This concept has led to the development of a PPC software system that uses the traditional and widely accepted MRP processing logic, thus avoiding the intricacies of the OPT system and being much more readily accepted by manufacturing personnel.
