Overview of Dependent Demand and Materials Requirement Planning (MRP), including Independent vs Dependent Demand, MRP Structures, the Master Production Schedule (MPS), Bill of Materials (BOM) and a Product Structure Tree overview. We will then work through calculating dependent demand requirements using a Product Structure Tree for two examples (with and without on hand inventory).
