Abstract
MRP II was inspired by shortcomings in mrp, and as a result the data processing orientation is preserved in MRP II. As was the case with mrp, we first explain the concepts behind MRP II, then we develop an optimization model to mimic and improve its behavior. After we have this model in hand, we extend it to produce a model that can give us production plans that trade off alternative capacity uses, holding inventory and tardiness in an optimized way. The letters MRP in MRP II stand for Manufacturing Resources Planning to make it clear that resources are considered in addition to materials as in mrp. The word “resource” is used to emphasize that any type of productive capability can be considered, not just machines. The Roman number II is intended to make it clear that it is an extension to materials requirements planning (mrp).
