Jordi is founder of Eficent (www.eficent.com), an established Odoo Partner. He is certified Demand Driven Planner by the International Supply Chain Education Association (ISCEA), which recognizes his abilities to implement the DDMRP methodology. Jordi has been contributing to the development of Odoo since 2011, and he currently holds a position as board member of the Odoo Community Association. He is author of the DDMRP app for Odoo, which is currently in the process of being certified by the Demand Driven Institute. Jordi holds degrees in Telecommunications Engineering and Management Sciences.


Target audience (beginners / expert, users / developers, specific industry, etc.): This talk is intended to be addressed to Odoo users in the area of Warehouse Management. Version covered (incl. edition): 10.0 Enterprise Edition. What will people learn from your talk: Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning is a formal multi-echelon planning and execution method. DDMRP combines blended aspects of Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) with the pull and visibility emphases found in Lean and the Theory of Constraints and the variability reduction emphasis of Six Sigma.

  • This method has five sequential components:

  • Strategic Inventory Positioning. Answers the question "Given our system and environment, where should we place inventory to have the best protection?" and determines where should decoupling points of inventory be placed.

  • Buffer Profiles and Levels. Determine the amount of protection at those decoupling points.

  • Dynamic Adjustments. Allow the company to adapt buffers to group and individual part trait changes over time through the use of several types of adjustments.

  • Demand Driven Planning. Allow to lauch purchase orders (POs), manufacturing ordrers (MOs) and Transfer Orders (TOs) based on the priority dictated by the buffers.

  • Visible and Collaborative Execution. These POs, MOs and TOs have to be effectively managed to synchronize with the changes that often occur within the "execution horizon."

These five components work together to greatly dampen, if not eliminate, the nervousness of traditional MRP systems and the bullwhip effect in complex and challenging environments. This approach provides real information about those parts that are truly at risk of negatively impacting the planned availability of inventory. DDMRP sorts the significant few items that require attention from the many parts that are being managed. Under the DDMRP approach, fewer planners can make better decisions more quickly. That means companies will be better able to leverage their working and human capital. Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning is quickly being adopted by a wide variety of leading companies across the world. Some of the benefits reported by the DDMRP method include:

  • High fill rate performance

  • Lead time reductions.

  • Inventory reductions, while improving customer service

  • Eliminate costs related to expedite

  • Planners see priorities instead of constantly fighting the conflicting messages of MRP

Attendees should expect to learn the fundamentals and benefits of the DDMRP methodology, and an introduction of how to use the DDMRP app in Odoo.
