The Story of DDMRP
In Appendix E from Precisely Wrong - Why Conventional Planning Fails and How to Fix It, Chad Smith chronicles the development of DDMRP starting in 1996.
Planners and buyers that interact with MRP every day know that something is very wrong. They may not be able to explain exactly why but they know that if they did exactly what MRP told them to do it would have disastrous consequences for their company and for their career. So, constant, costly and error prone workarounds and adjustments are made. Have we all been fooled? Was the promise of MRP only a mirage?
What if there was one fatal flaw in MRP that makes it completely incapable of conveying relevant information? What if correcting this one fatal flaw allowed the promise of MRP to be attained?
