BOP Program Statement 8340.10 § 4
MATERIALS REQUIREMENTS PLANNING
The Stock Requirements List (MD04) is used to make purchasing decisions for materials as well
as decisions for releasing production orders. Normally, the Factory Manager or designated
production planner/scheduler generates these reports weekly, but they may be generated more or
less frequently, depending upon:
P8340.10 06/18/2015 3
■ Volume and frequency of new orders.
■ Production and acquisition lead times.
■ Major schedule changes.
Adherence to the recommendations of the Stock Requirements List helps ensure that material
purchases and production order releases are timed to meet the required order delivery dates while
minimizing inventory levels. Potential material shortfalls are evaluated to determine the impact
on the production schedule and the ability to meet the delivery dates of any affected orders.
