Download free Material Requirements Planning (MRP) System

This system is an example of a typical MRP system.

Production-Scheduling.com assists manufacturers to develop their own finite scheduling systems
in Excel, and will also custom develop scheduling systems for them. Most of these systems are
interfaced to a host MRP/ERP system, which acts as a repository for demand and inventory data,
and will perform Material Requirements Planning (MRP1) calculations.

However, many clients have approached us to develop MRP within Excel, because either:

  • they do not have an MRP system, or
  • having generated scheduled dates within Excel, they are unable to upload them to their
    MRP system
  • their MRP systems are just too cumbersome and unresponsive

The Excel-Based MRP system has the following features:

  • VBA free, no macros, it is all formulas and PivotTables, and nothing is hidden
  • demand is generated by a make-to-inventory Finite Schedule, but may also be from another source
  • a single level Bill of Material structure
  • inventory of raw material and components is allocated to the earliest scheduled product first,
    and will be dynamically re-allocated as the schedule changes
  • a Purchase Action Report identifies purchase orders which must be placed or chased to meet
    the schedule
