Frequently, a time-phased order point approach is used where the planned orders at the branch warehouse level are "exploded" via MRP logic to become gross requirements on the supplying source. In the case of multi-level distribution networks, this explosion process can continue down through the various levels of master warehouse, factory warehouse, etc., and become input to the master production schedule. Demand on the supplying source(s) is recognized as dependent, and standard MRP logic applies. 1, record 10, English, - distribution%20requirements%20planning

On procède souvent par point de commande cadencé lorsque les commandes planifiées au niveau des entrepôts de succursale sont "explosées" par l'entremise de la logique de la PRF de manière à devenir des besoins bruts pour la source d'approvisionnement. Dans le cas des réseaux de distribution à paliers multiples, cette explosion peut se faire sentir aux divers paliers de l'entrepôt principal, l'entrepôt d'usine, etc., et constituer une donnée d'entrée du plan directeur de production. Le besoin exercé sur les sources d'approvisionnement est considéré comme étant dépendant et la logique de la PRF standard s'applique. 1, record 10, French, - planification%20des%20besoins%20de%20distribution
