What if there was one fatal flaw in MRP that makes it completely incapable of conveying relevant information? What if correcting this one fatal flaw allowed the promise of MRP to be attained? Join this webinar with expert speaker Carol Ptak, who will describe what the real issue is and just how devastating the problem can be for supply chain management. This session will discuss how the flaw in MRP is not your fault and what you can do from your end to solve the problem.


Why Should You Attend
At the heart of most supply chains lies a planning tool called material requirements planning (MRP). Invented in the 1950s, codified in the 1960s and commercialized in the 1970s, MRP became the way of life for supply order generation and synchronization. What used to take teams of people weeks to plan could be done overnight with incredible precision. As products and supply chains became more complex, this precise synchronization capability seemed more valuable than ever and the potential seemed limitless.

Yet planners and buyers that interact with MRP every day know that something is very wrong. They may not be able to explain exactly why, but they know that if they did exactly what MRP told them to do, it would have disastrous consequences for their company and for their career. Hence, constant costly and error-prone workarounds and adjustments are made. Have we all been fooled? Was the promise of MRP only a mirage?
