Abstract

Traditional computerbased material requirements planning MRPsystems are usually implemented on large, minicomputer systems. The MRPmodule is frequently one, albeit a central one, of a complex of modulestogether referred to as MRP II or Manufacturing Resources Planning.These systems, although ideal for reallife, daytoday use, can presenta problem when used for training purposes. The sheer number offacilities available and consequent complexity of use often means that alengthy training period is required. Describes a PCbased MRP simulationpackage which encompasses the main features of existing MRP packagesavailable in industry. As such, the package is ideal for trainingpurposes. It allows typical MRP activities to be performed and basicknowledge of the most important MRP features to be gained. Greatemphasis has been placed on a userfriendly interface. Describes thePCbased training system, the first of a series which will eventuallycover several MRP II modules.
