MRP 4 feature areas

MRP & DDMRP.

Classical MRP and Demand-Driven MRP under one roof. Buffer-driven planning that absorbs volatility.

01

MRP Run

Net requirements across multi-level BOMs.

  • Time-phased net requirements
  • Action messages: release, reschedule, cancel
  • Multi-plant netting
  • Pegging up and down
  • Frozen-zone respect
  • Exception filtering
02

DDMRP Buffers

Strategic decoupling and buffer profiles.

  • Decoupling point analysis
  • Buffer profiles by ADU and lead time
  • Net flow equation
  • Color-zone alerts (red, yellow, green)
  • Buffer tuning recommendations
03

Average Daily Usage

The signal everything else listens to.

  • Configurable ADU windows
  • Forecast blending
  • Outlier handling
  • ADU drift alerts
  • Per-SKU overrides
04

Execution Priority

Buffer status, not due date, drives the queue.

  • Buffer-color execution lists
  • On-hand alerts
  • Spike management
  • Lead-time monitoring

MRP FAQ

MRP & DDMRP — questions buyers actually ask.

Does NexliOne support both classical MRP and Demand-Driven MRP (DDMRP)?
Yes — both run under one engine. Classical MRP delivers time-phased net requirements with action messages (release, reschedule, cancel) across multi-level BOMs and multi-plant netting. DDMRP layers strategic decoupling, buffer profiles by ADU and lead time, the net flow equation, and color-zone execution alerts on top.
How does NexliOne DDMRP calculate buffer profiles?
Buffers are sized by Average Daily Usage (ADU), lead time, variability, and minimum order quantity. Decoupling-point analysis identifies which BOM positions hold buffers; profiles tune over time as ADU drifts, with buffer-tuning recommendations surfaced as exceptions.
Can NexliOne MRP run multi-plant netting with pegging?
Yes. Multi-plant netting runs across the network, with pegging up and down so you can trace any requirement to its driving demand and any supply to the demand it serves. Frozen-zone respect prevents the engine from rescheduling within the agreed planning fence.
Does NexliOne MRP generate action messages for release, reschedule, and cancel?
Yes. Action messages are exception-filtered so planners see only what needs decisions — releases, reschedules in or out, and cancellations. Filtering rules prevent the noise that makes traditional MRP exception lists unusable.
How does DDMRP color-zone execution differ from due-date scheduling?
Due dates assume the plan is correct; DDMRP color zones assume buffers are the truth. Execution priority is driven by buffer status (red, yellow, green) and the net flow equation rather than the original due date — the queue reflects what the system needs now, not what the MRP run expected last week.
