How DDMRP compares to standard lean manufacturing practices

Most discrete manufacturing organizations rely on a bill of material (BOM) to understand demand for component parts and materials required to manufacture products and satisfy orders or projected demand. Demand-driven materials requirements planning (DDMRP), however, is a planning method that does not really use a bill of materials explosion to determine how you plan the part.

But what other elements of lean manufacturing can you do with DDMRP? Here we explore:

• A basic definition of DDMRP
• How DDMRP and lean concepts coalesce
• How ERP certified for DDMRP can help
