The Clarkson Company implemented materiel requirements planning (MRP) to manage its low-volume, high-option slurry valve production. This led to achieving Class A status in Manufacturing Resource Planning II (MRPII).

Area of Science:

  • Operations Management
  • Manufacturing Engineering
  • Supply Chain Management

Background:

  • The Clarkson Company, a manufacturer of slurry valves, operates in a diverse industrial market including mining, pulp and paper, and power generation.
  • The company faces a low-volume, high-option product mix due to varied customer applications.
  • An assemble-to-order methodology is employed for master production scheduling to accommodate product variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenges of managing a complex product configuration environment.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of implementing materiel requirements planning (MRP) for production control.
  • To document the transition towards an integrated manufacturing resource planning system.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of materiel requirements planning (MRP) system to control production scheduling.
