Material Requirement Planning (MRP):

-Steps and Processes:
MRP works because it is a well-organized and the framework of processes and calculations has greater

accuracy. An MRP system of an appropriate kind and well organized can completely transform a company’s

operational procedures. Many people within an organization contribute to the MRP process, including sales,

production, purchasing, receiving, stockroom, and shipping personnel.

-Porsche in 2018 once again increased the number of new vehicle deliveries to a total of 256,255 vehicles.
Procurement of materials and non-materials made a significant contribution to this success: based on a very

close partnership relationship with the supplier industry, it ensured a reliable supply of high-quality components

for the long term. In the reporting year, Procurement focused particularly on strategically important products

and topics relating to optimizing the value chain. The supplier network was able to be further intensified and

collaboration across company boundaries increased.

Supply chain management:

When Porsche was in association with the Volkswagen Group, its procurement division was also immensely

integrated into the Group’s organizational structure. Shared purchasing structures, processes and systems

were specified in a cooperation agreement back in 2011. This means that Porsche’s procurement decisions are

largely coordinated and agreed upon with the Volkswagen Group. Cooperation between Porsche AG and the

Group is also consistently being driven forward and the relevant structures expanded and strengthened.

Volkswagen Slovakia plant is totally digital plant with minimum error & human interface this is because
of the top management’s decision to update this model in order to forever testing of new production
programme it’s called “WERK-MODEL”. (Marek & Martin, September 2008)

Appraising capabilities and resources:

There are to bars to appraise that are-

 Assessing the importance of Porsche- Porsche importance is that there is development of new
product at a frequent time, global foot print.
 Assessing relative strength- It means the company must assess its competitive strengths & key
areas of weakness were it needs to work and give thorough focus.

Developing Implementation framework:

Developing a framework in order to execute the capacity plan this decisions are taken by the production
process in line with top management.

TECHNIQUES FOR AGGREGATE PLANNING:

1. Determine demand for each period.
2. Determine capacity for each period. This capacity should match demand according to
the forecasting, which means it may require the inclusion of overtime or
subcontracting.
3. Identify company, departmental, or union policies that are pertinent. For example, idea
of maintaining a certain safety stock level, and maintaining a reasonably stable
workforce, backorder policies, overtime policies, inventory level policies, and other less
explicit rules such as the nature of employment with the individual industry, the
possibility of a bad image, and the loss of goodwill.
4. Determine unit costs for units produced. These costs typically include the basic
production costs (fixed and variable costs as well as direct and indirect labor costs). Also
included are the costs associated with making changes in capacity. Inventory holding
costs must also be considered, as should storage, insurance, taxes, spoilage, and
obsolescence costs. Finally, backorder costs must be computed. While difficult to
measure, this generally includes expediting costs, loss of customer goodwill, and
revenue loss from cancelled orders.
5. Develop alternative plans and compute the cost for each.
6. If satisfactory plans emerge, select the one that best satisfies objectives.
