THANKS FOR THESE IMPRESSIVE VIDEOS ABOUT MRP VERYYYYYYY HELPFUL AND USEFUL , FULL OF INFORMAION AND DETAILS THANKS ALOT. It is appreciated if you can answer me how we can suggest implementation of MRP system but in an oil firm where the product is gas which sold directly to government and no need for demand prediction at that case so, the inventory in this firm is for spare parts , materials that are used in the oil production and machines. How can we use MRP in this case ?? It is appreciated to answer me .. thanks

Hi Wedad, thank you for this insightful question. MRP is useful when the demand for items are dependent on the demand the top level (parent) items. So if the spare parts inventory (child) is not dependent on the oil demand (parent), then MRP would not be useful. In this instance, you would just use the forecasting methods taught in the Ch4 playlist for methods on how to forecast the spare parts.

Hi Pramod, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Can you advise specifically where you believe the calculation on product structure tree #2 is incorrect? I do not see anything wrong with the calculation on that slide.
