DRP (Distribution Requirements Planning)
Distribution Requirements Planning
Time-phased planning of inventory replenishment across distribution centers and stocking locations.
Examples
- 01DRP calculates how many units each of the 6 regional warehouses needs next week, based on their forecasts and stock.
- 02The monthly supply review compares DRP plans with actual shipments by region and product family.
- 03When DRP shows a shortage in the south, logistics transfers stock from the north instead of waiting for new production.
