Developing manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) systems in the medical garment industry- a case study

Abstract

This article developed a Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP)II for a company specializing in the medical garment industry. The resources of the company had not been planned and controlled effectively, leading to high production costs and low on-time delivery, affecting the competitive edge of the company. The research effectively planned all the company’s resources to reduce production costs, increase the on-time delivery rate, and finally improve the competitive edge of the company. The paper integrated all MRPII functional modules of the companies, including Demand Management (DM), Production Planning (PP), Master Production Schedule (MPS), and Material Requirement Planning (MRP). The paper applied the available to promise (ATP) model to help process customer orders effectively and applied operations research models in PP to minimize production costs
