A simulation analysis of Independent Requirements Consumption in Master Production Scheduling

  • This poster presents purpose and function of the Independent Requirements Consumption in Master Production Scheduling and gives recommendations for its application. The approach of hierarchical production planning and its planning problems are explained. The problem of new customer requirements information between planning periods and solving options are shown. The solving option of Independent Requirements Consumption is focus of this poster. The algorithm of the Independent Requirements Consumption that is implemented in commercial Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems like the SAP system is analyzed. The methods for analyzing the effects of the Independent Requirements Consumption are outlined. The scenarios for simulation studies are stated and compared to similar investigations. The simulation studies were performed on a simulation system at IPF that contains both a production planning and control system and a production. The extent of simulation analyses outreaches similar investigations, especially because of the variety of scenarios. For scenarios in which capacity is available to a sufficient extent, advice for setting the Independent Requirements Consumption parameters is given. It is pointed out that with production constrained scenarios, the necessity to level out production leads to problems. An algorithm to determine necessary inventory levels is presented. It is stated that straight advice for Independent Requirements Consumption parameter settings might not be possible with production constrained scenarios. Further analyses with production constrained scenarios as well as investigations concerning safety stocks in combination with Independent Requirements Consumption are current and future research topics at the Innovation Center for Production Logistics and Factory Planning.
