Submit your outline to your instructor via the drop-box "LP7 Assignment: Materials Planning." This assignment is worth 100 points and will be graded according to the following grading scale.

Chapter 16 in your textbook sets forth the fundamental principles essential for understanding the concept of materials requirements planning. Create a basic outline that captures the key points of the chapter. As a guide for your outline, it will be helpful to note the "key points" that are listed at the end of the chapter (section 16.8).

KEY POINTS AND TERMS Every firm must manage one or more supply chains. An understanding of supply chain management is essential to improving performance in all parts of the supply chain. This chapter's key points include the following: A supply chain is the set of entities and relationships that cumulatively define the way materials and informatic downstream flow facilitates transformation of materials into units of the final product sold to consumers and information related to the product. The upstream flow facilitates return of defective units, recyclables, and information for planning purposes. Supply chain management is concerned with the design and management of value-added processes that not only cut across organizational boundaries but must be tightly integrated to allow information and materials to flow and be deployed within and across them. flow downstream and upstream from the customer. The Measurement of supply chain performance should be made in five areas: delivery, qual- ity, flexibility, cost, and time. The bullwhip, or accelerator, effect entails market demand being magnified through orders placed to upstream supply chain entities, such that the farther upstream an entity is, the greater is the variability in the orders received and inventory held. Infor- mation time lags, human behavior, and long replenishment lead time account for the dynamics observed.
