Where To Start?
The people who manage the material requirements planning system are planners. They are responsible for making detailed decisions that keep the flow of material moving into, through, and out of the factory. The basic procedures are:
1. Launch (release) orders to purchasing or manufacturing
2. Reschedule due dates of open orders as required
3. Reconcile errors and try to find their cause
4. Solve critical material shortages by expediting or re-planning
5. Coordinate with other planners, master production schedulers, production activity control, and purchasing to resolve problems
