What you’ll learn

  • Matching MRP settings to strategy: What each MRP tab controls and how settings differ for make-to-stock, make-to-order, or engineer-to-order.
  • Global vs. plant-level impact: When global defaults aid consistency and when plant-specific values are needed.
  • Purchasing parameters: Planned delivery time, GR processing time, special procurement key, minimum order quantity vs. rounding value—how to reduce expedites and stabilize proposals.
  • Production scheduling parameters: In-house production time, scheduling margins, production versions—how to improve plan dates and reduce exceptions.
