Demand driven material requirements planning (DDMRP): a systematic review and classification

| Sumario: | Purpose: Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) aims to deal with variability byadjusting inventory levels while maintaining, or even increasing, customer service levels. This approachbridges the push and pull approaches. Even though it first made its appearance in 2011, research in thisfield remains relatively limited. This paper aims to analyze the temporal evolution of the DDMRP, itscontext of implementation, and the research themes studied in that field to identify areas that still need tobe addressed by future researchers.Design/methodology/approach: The systematic literature review approach used in this paper examinesresearch dealing with the DDMRP published in different languages between 2011 and 2020. To date,published papers focused on performance analysis and comparison of the DDMRP with other methods.This study focuses on the DDMRP itself and its capacity to answer the different operations managementfunctions under a broader vision (context, implementation, setting, etc.). Thus, we analyze the evolution ofthe method in the literature, considering different languages, and present a taxonomy of publishedscientific works. Then, we identify gaps that require further research.Findings: DDMRP is not sufficiently studied in the literature and the proposed tools still need to betested. More research is required to evaluate its adaptability in different and complex environments, addressits ability to cope with product variety, complex BOMs, and other methods. A proposal of new approachesto define and adjust DDMRP parameters and evaluate their sensitivity is also required to make the methodmore scientifically sound. Originality/value: Based on the analysis of papers published in different languages, this paper outlinesthe current state of the art of DDMRP, its shortcomings, and identifies further research to make DDMRPmore robust from both a scientific and industrial perspective |
