Ken Titmuss discusses the 5thcomponent of DDMRP, namely Visible and Collaborative Execution. Up to this point we have discussed the first four components of DDMRP, that is Strategic Inventory Positioning, Buffer Sizing and Buffer Profiles, Dynamic Adjustment and last time, Demand Driven Planning.
With these three components of DDMRP in place we can start using the fourth component which is Demand Driven Planning. In this episode we are going to look at some of the part planning designators and talk about the planning process for stocked parts.
In this episode, Ken looks at when inventory is regarded as being an asset or a liability, lists some of the factors to be considered when constructing DDMRP buffers as well as understanding the logic and purpose of the three difference zones in the buffer.
This episode Ken Titmuss of Demand Driven Africa looks at the difference between traditional MRP and Lean. He establishs what Demand Driven really means, and introduces the Demand Driven Operating Model as well as Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning.
Ken Titmuss of Demand Driven Africa, partner of Demand Driven Technologies, outlines and explains Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) principles and how it helps today's supply chains. Ken reviews the history of the methodologies and how this new planning method improves stats across the board.
