RE: JBA ML - DRP and Style

[Saltway <saltwayltd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're running DRP and MPS together, why would DRP need to see Works
Orders? You'd use DRP at the branch level to create demand on the centre
(factory). MPS would see the demand at the centre from both DO's and SO's
and suggest supply (WO's or PO's) accordingly. Running DRP for the centre
would be redundant. Of course I'm assuming that MPS would only run over a
single, central stockroom, not over all stockrooms in the network.

As it happens I've got an implementation doing exactly this at a client
next month. It isn't Style but the basic logic should be the same. One
issue to watch is the time DRP might take to run if you've got a large
number of SKU's per style.

The last I heard DRP does not see Work Orders in the planning cycle.  Maybe
its changed since then, but i would check the style version.
