Planning and executing in the 21st century

At IPros we are convinced that major changes in the way we plan and manage our Supply Chains are now becoming mandatory. Traditional planning and managing methods fall short under the current business environment.​

​

At IPros, as an affiliate of the Demand Driven Institute, we help our customers navigate the transition to Demand Driven Supply Chain Management.

The ostrich attitude

Let’s accept it, the most widely used planning system, Material Requirement Planning (MRP), is not delivering the promise anymore. Supply planners across all industries rely on Excel spreadsheets in an attempt to enhance their visibility and keep their supply planning under control.

What is DDMRP?

DDMRP is an innovative method for multi-echelon Supply Chain Planning & Execution. DDMRP integrates the best of MRP, DRP, Lean, 6 Sigma and the Theory of Constraints, outperforming formal planning methods (MRP or Lean based).

Business impacts

DDMRP implementations are delivering staggering results across a wide range of industries including Consumer Goods, Electronics, Technological and Industrial Equipment, Pharma, Biotech, Chemical, in make to order (MTO), make to stock (MTS) and mixed strategies (MTO/MTS).

Does it apply to my business?

DDMRP is a multi-echelon Supply Chain Planning & Execution solution. DDMRP implementations have been proved effective in all environments:

  • Distribution of finished goods with simple or complex networks
