Hi,

I want to know what are basis of calculation in MRP generation.

Thanks...:D

Hello,

If you want to understand the MRP and other conceptual issues, the CPIM course is leading.
The following book is also usefull if you don't want to go through the complete course:
Manufacturing Planning and Control Systems
by Thomas E. Vollmann, CFPIM, William L. Berry, and D. Clay Whybark (http://www.apics.org/scripts/bookstore/catalogfind.asp?id=386&title=true(


Regards, Ronny

If you want to go way back to the stone age of the MRP era, look for the books by Oliver Weight. Oliver helped coin the term "MRP" and his books take it from the basics. I believe his first title is something like, "Manufacturing (or Production) Planning in the Computer Age", and was published in the early 70's.

Most of the older APICS members will have a picture of St. Ollie on their wall (he died in 1983).
