MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS PLANNING 247<br />

Lead Time Description<br />

<strong>Manufacturing</strong> Lead Time The number of working days it takes to manufacture an<br />

item, including the time it takes to process paperwork,<br />

issue <strong>com</strong>ponents, inspect the finished product, and<br />

receive it into stock.<br />

For DRP items, enter DRP transit and order time in this<br />

field so that this value is included in the cumulative lead<br />

time for this item.<br />

Purchasing Lead Time The number of calendar days it takes to <strong>com</strong>plete a<br />

purchasing cycle for an item, from the date the need for a<br />

purchase is recognized to the date the item is received.<br />

Inspection Lead Time The number of working days it takes to inspect a<br />

purchased item after it is received.<br />

Safety Lead Time The number of working days early that MRP plans to<br />

receive orders for an item, to allow for late deliveries.<br />

Cumulative Lead Time The longest number of calendar days it takes to obtain an<br />

item, assuming that neither it nor any of its <strong>com</strong>ponents<br />

are in stock. The system calculates this value, by<br />

converting manufacturing, inspection, and safety lead<br />

time to calendar days.<br />

The time fence is the number of calendar days inside of which MRP will<br />

not generate or adjust any planned orders, even if there are net<br />

requirements within that period. MRP still deletes a planned order, even if<br />

it is inside the time fence, if no demand is generated for that item.<br />

Time fences are often used with master scheduled items and are usually<br />

set to greater than or equal to the manufacturing lead time.<br />

MRP Required<br />

The MRP Required flag is set by the system to indicate whether this item<br />

has had changes made against it and will be replanned the next time you<br />

run net change MRP. Yes indicates that the item will be replanned; No<br />

indicates that it will not.<br />
