International audienceThe aim of this chapter is to scrutinize problems, modelling approaches and algorithms employed to adapt and parameterize the Material Requirement Planning (MRP) method under lead time uncertainty and to discourse about some potential research areas. The analysis and discussion could help the community deal with variabilities, formalizing the uncertainty of lead times and facilitating development of methods for solving identified problems
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
