Abstract
This study has been carried out at Triveni Engineering Works Ltd, Naini, Allahabad, India. A
MRP software for Small Scale Industries has been designed, developed and tested. The suggested methodology for developing MRP System is particularly helpful for small scale industries. Keywords: MRP, BOM, Inventory, MPS and Make- to- Order.
1. Introduction
In Today’s highly competitive market, industries should view customer satisfaction.
One of the most important measure of the quality of service, an industry provides is on time delivery. Orders delivered after a promised due date will result in lost customer goodwill and ultimately in lost market share. This is particularly true for small scale industries whose business is based on producing a special product to customer specification rather than on producing standardized Parts to stock. Material Management played an important role in any manufacturing system. Computations to find out the quantity of raw materials to be ordered and the period in which to be ordered require processing of huge amount of data from various manufacturing functions. Here, for efficient functioning of the system, reliable and accurate information are necessary. Almost, all industrial organizations use materials to produce goods and services, which constitute the biggest single element of the cost. For efficient functioning, reliable and accurate information have to be made available to various departments of the industry. This can be made possible only by the use of computer based information. MRP system development in production engineering has been the area of interest in recent years. The MRP system development is carried out for the purpose (a)
