The part explosion process is one of the key elements of MRP (Material Requirement Planning) systems which generate plans to provide raw materials and subassemblies in the right amount at the right time for manufacturing enterprises. However, the process takes up much time as it has to interact with database intensively, and real time processing was very hard to achieve. Meanwhile, grid computi...

In this paper, we present a case study of the restructuring of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system within a manufacturing company, in particular the combination of Material Requirement Planning (MRP) with a Just In Time (JIT) material management procedure at the assembly lines. We focus in this study upon the mutual shaping of technology and organizational culture, in particular the vi...

Use of common parts for different products (commonality) is important methods for managing product variety and preserving competitiveness in the age of mass customization and supply chain competition. In literature, the advantages of inclusion of common components in a product family are well established. Unfortunately, most of the works have been conducted via simulation or conceptual thinking...

We review the field of Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) and Production and Inventory Control (PIC) theory and highlight their similarities, differences and some conditions for oneto-one correspondence. The most important similarity is the use of transform techniques to model time delays in the systems. However MRP theory treats complete product structures, whereas PIC has usually been only...
