Planning strategy with Mixed MRP indicator

1) Subassembly planning with final assembly -- 70

2) Gross requirements planning— 11

3) Subassembly planning without final assembly – 74

This strategy are perform differently when compare with others strategies. Mixed MRP indicator is
Prerequisites for this planning strategy to perform their action, without this indicator not possible to get
output of these planning strategies

In Industry MRP used for procurement of raw material, there are two primary types of requirement MTS
and MTO. Mixed MRP indicator is mix of these two types of requirement that if you want make to stock
then you only getting the material up to associated with assembly and doing final assembly once you get
order. This way we can take advantages of both MTO and MTS in Mix MRP.

Mixed MRP indicator is used for strategy group 11,

Gross planned independent requirement, For example 11 will not consider warehouse stock unlike
others

This strategy is particularly useful if you need to produce product, regardless of whether you have stock
or not. Industry uses this strategy because of nonstop production without shutdown the production
unit.

Mixed MRP Indicator = “2”

If you want plan the material independently of the requirement form a higher level assembly (Gross
Requirement), MRP ignore the requirement from the higher level assembly and plan the material with
respect to the gross requirement you have entered (Independent Requirement).
Mixed MRP indicator = “Blank”

If you want to plan the material with respect to the higher level assembly requirement from higher level
assembly (Net Requirement), MRP will use the requirement from the higher level assembly and plan the
material to cover those requirements.
