Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Material Requirements Planning (MRP) : Uber Easts type contracts = “zero-hour contracts” Work when there is work, flexible work force = contractors
  • Bill of Materials (BOM) : Uber Easts type contracts = “zero-hour contracts” Work when there is work, flexible work force = contractors
  • Planning (MRP) ▪ Master production schedule : Uber Easts type contracts = “zero-hour contracts” Work when there is work, flexible work force = contractors
