Development and implementation of an advanced demand planning and materials management model based on the Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) methodology to optimise the supply chain.

Quin S.R.L.
F.lli Mauri SpA, established in 1953, is an international manufacturer of high-quality fastening solutions, with a wide range of products for the woodworking, automotive and general industrial sectors.
In a market context characterised by highly complex supply chains, short product life cycles and increasing customisation, F.lli Mauri faced difficulties in efficiently managing material planning. It was necessary to adopt a model that would respond effectively to uncertainty and variability in demand, improving planning and responsiveness to customers.
The project involved defining a macro-operational model for managing Material Requirements Planning, with a particular focus on adopting the Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) methodology. This methodology allows production to be synchronised with actual demand, improving stock management and resource planning.

Assessment of benefits on stocks and service levels
Introduction of a new planning system based on DDMRP
Improvement of scheduling and management of production resources
Reduced variability and greater control of the production process
– Optimisation of the production process with demand-supply alignment
– Reduction in stock levels and consequent cost containment
– Greater effectiveness in time management and customer service levels
– Increased flexibility and responsiveness to market changes
