What is the DDMRP (Demand Driven MRP) methodology?

DDMRP (Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning) is a modern planning approach that combines traditional MRP principles with demand-driven practices. This methodology strategically positions buffer stocks throughout the supply chain to absorb demand fluctuations.

In practice, DDMRP helps adjust replenishment in real time based on actual demand, reducing the bullwhip effect, improving responsiveness, and optimizing inventory levels.

Flowlity shares DDMRP’s goal but uses a more dynamic, AI-driven approach to buffer management.
