| Abstract | Small diesel engine assembly is relatively new in Thailand. This company under study was established only in 1978. The part contents from local and foreign manufacturers are purchased according to the Board of Investment's regulations. Frequent shortages of engine parts often affect the production capacity of this plant. The existing inventory control system was studied and general recommendations made so as to increase the utilization of the plant capacity.
This study deals with the adaptation and implementation of the material requirements planning model to the small diesel engine assembly plant. This model is not unique for inventory control but it provides other information that are necessary for production scheduling and update projected on hand inventory. Data from the part requirements of 12 engine models were analyzed and sensitivity analysis was carried out. The results indicated that the material requirements planning approach could help in solving the above problems. |
