Synopsis

Instead of just relying upon procedures like MRP, cost optimization or inventory optimization, learn how to leverage reorder point planning.
 
Setting reorder points is a bit of a lost art as company after company over-rely upon advanced supply planning methods to create the supply plan, and often for their entire product database. However, there are in fact a number of situations where reorder points will actually provide a superior output.
 
Reorder points are often considered to be simplistic, but in many cases they work quite well. There are simply a great number of misunderstandings regarding reorder points - misunderstandings that this book helps clear up. Rather than "picking a side," this book shows the advantages and disadvantages of each.
 
By reading this book you will:
· Understand the Lean Versus the MRP debate.

• How Lean relates to reorder points.
• Understand when to use reorder points.
• When to use reorder points versus MRP.
•  The relationship between forecastabilty and reorder points.
• How to mix Lean/re-order points and MRP to more effectively perform supply planning.
