ABSTRACT
The article brings closer the methodology of material requirement planning in a manufacturing enterprise. A manufacturing structure consisting of two independent products, A and B, showing modularity of design was assumed. A mathematical description reflecting the dependencies of individual product components used to execute a delivery schedule was used for the calculations. The article describes how to plan the production of products with a module characteristics and determine its supply moment so as to maintain a continuity and rhythmicality of a manufacturing process. It is of utmost importance due to the prompt execution of external orders (independent demand) and thus it has an impact on the dependability of the execution of orders. The suggested methodology of proceedings eliminates errors, reduces the stock level, enables to fully control particular production stages, improves the utilization of the available resources and synchronizes both order and delivery processes of materials with production needs.
