A system for managing all operations by production number! We will introduce specific examples regarding the purpose and scope of application.
This column is the first installment of "Series 2: MRP and Production Number Management."
The production number management method involves setting a management number called a "production number" during manufacturing arrangements, and managing all tasks from planning, ordering, work instructions, to shipping using this production number.
In comparison to production number management, there is a material planning method known as MRP (Material Requirements Planning).
Both methods require similar functions in terms of arranging necessary materials using a bill of materials based on product demand, but the management unit in MRP is by item number, while in production number management, both item number and production number serve as management units.
