Distribution resource planning

● Article ● Talk ● Language ● Watch ● Edit

Distribution resource planning (DRP) is a method used in business administration for planning orders within a supply chain. DRP enables the user to set certain inventory control parameters (like a safety stock) and calculate the time-phased inventory requirements. This process is also commonly referred to as distribution requirements planning. it consolidates the demands for multiple locations of several distribution centers with the sources of supply.

DRP uses several variables:

the required quantity of product needed at the beginning of a period
the constrained quantity of product available at the beginning of a period
the recommended order quantity at the beginning of a period
the backordered demand at the end of a period
the on-hand inventory at the end of a period

DRP needs the following information:

the demand in a future period
the scheduled receipts at the beginning of a period
the on-hand inventory at the beginning of a period
the safety stock requirement for a period
