Early receipts to MRP date (required date)

Definition

Early receipts to MRP date - MRP due date vs Receive to Dock (stores) date.

Formula

Use Case / Interpretation

This is a measure on your Planning efficiencies. Some planners or warehouse personnel may request that the material be brought in long before the plant/operators need the parts. Reasons for doing so may be quality, lead time variance, buffer stock etc. Early receipts to MRP produce higher levels of inventory that are not required yet. In a way, this is at the other end of the scale than JIT.
