Abstract
In this research, the impact of applying TOC in MRP systems was studied using a case study. First the theories of TOC and MRP and their integration histories were reviewed. The research methodology was devised using library and field studies. The proposed method was applied to Tabriz Diecast Aluminum Casing and Bending Company. The company’s organizational documents were used in studying the impact on company operations. The collected documents and information were thoroughly evaluated and analyzed to obtain the final results of using TOC in MRP production systems as presented in this paper. In today’s economy, cost reduction and increased production output and quality are regarded as top priorities for survival and competition as they can guarantee the success of a company in the long run.
