5 Steps to DDMRP

Reduce lead times, minimize inventory levels, and improve overall supply chain performance.

Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) is a methodology designed to optimize inventory and materials planning. It combines elements from traditional MRP, Lean, Six Sigma, and the Theory of Constraints. From strategic inventory positioning to visible and collaborative execution, 5 steps enable organizations to respond more effectively to changes in demand, reduce lead times, minimize inventory levels, and improve overall supply chain performance. By strategically positioning inventory buffers and dynamically adjusting them based on actual demand, manufacturers can better respond to customer demands for more options, more products, and shorter lead times.
