Implementation of manufacturing resource planning issues in practice

The paper provides a view of Material Resource Planning implementation. The authors describe the MRP II implementation techniques and define the necessary requirements for its successful implementation. Possible practical implementation doubts are being pointed out on an actual real-world example. Issues can appear especially in the warm-up period of implementation. The rapid grow of inventory levels issue is particularly analyzed by the authors, who point out the inaccuracy in data in the given bills of materials and in particular the production output data provided by the shop floor. The newly implemented MRP II system reacts to these inaccurate data by acquiring more manufacturing material for production, which leads to the grow of inventory levels in a factory.
