Results and Insights DRP is a scheduling and stockage algorithm -- it replaces the forecasting mechanism above the base inventory level DRP does not determine lot size or safety stock -- but these decisions must be made as inputs to the process DRP does not explicitly consider any costs -- but these costs are still relevant the user must evaluate trade-offs DRP systems can deal with uncertainty -- using safety time and safety stock

Results and Insights DRP is a scheduling and stockage algorithm -- it replaces the forecasting mechanism above the base inventory level DRP does not determine lot size or safety stock -- but these decisions must be made as inputs to the process DRP does not explicitly consider any costs -- but these costs are still relevant the user must evaluate trade-offs DRP systems can deal with uncertainty -- using safety time and safety stock
