Abstract: Today many companies who are using MRP production control systems are investigating how they can produce some or all of their products using just-in time (JIT) principles. They wonder to what extent MRP can provide support for JIT production. This paper describes how JIT can be embedded into MRP. A three-step framework is described which makes use of MRP's backflushing and phantom features, and permits JIT principles to be used to the furthest extent possible. The JIT benefits that will be reported by MRP, as well as those that remain hidden because of MRP, are outlined. Observations from work with North American and Western European manufacturers are also discussed.

TL;DR: The results strongly indicate that DDMRP does represent a superior approach – one that warrants further academic study and its effectiveness relative to two widely accepted approaches – MRP II and Kanban/Lean production – through a series of structured computer simulation experiments.
An integrated MRP and JIT framework
Johnny C. Ho,Yih-Long Chang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new production planning and scheduling framework is developed to address the multi-stage, production-inventory system problem by integrating Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Just-in-Time (JIT) production.

Genetic algorithm to production planning and scheduling problems for manufacturing systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a canonical GA approach and a prospective multi-objective GA (MOGA) approach are proposed as solutions for different practical problems, which is a noted improvement to any of the existing techniques, and also in practice provides a new trend of integrating manufacturing resource planning (MRPII) with just-in-time (JIT) in the production planning procedure.
