The Demand-Driven MRP (DDMRP) is a method for managing flows in manufacturing and distribution that is supposed to manage uncertainties better than traditional Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP) using some principles of pull approaches. In this paper, a case-study is investigated in order to objectively and quantitatively compare these two systems. A Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) approach is used to evaluate impacts on system behaviors regarding both methods. Results show insights on the interests of DDMRP.
