As fashion industry growth rapidly, REYN came as one of fashion industry that focused on women fashion bag, located in Bandung, Indonesia. In balancing the high market demand in fashion industry with company productivity, a fashion company should have a mature operation system. As one of fashion industry, REYN also need to maintain their operation system which aim to prevent and solving any problems in operation activities. REYN have faced so many problems in the operation process. In operation, REYN currently faced discontinuity of raw material purchasing with the production target which caused by the absence of mature production schedule. Accordingly, this research was aimed to solve this problem by the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) method which purposed to generate the mature production planning and scheduling. The analysis will consist of two series of bag, named Penta series and Kara series. To forecast the demand, researcher will use qualitative data collection which is jury of executive method, collected by depth-interview with the co-founders of REYN. All the consideration in demand forecasting based on the future marketing plan of the company adjusted with the previous sales and past marketing plan. Before analysis, researcher will also complete the Bill of Material (BOM), lead time, and Master Production Scheduling (MPS) for each bag series. The data analyses is the comparison of lot-sizing method such as Lot-for-Lot, Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), and Periodic Order Quantity (POQ) to find the most efficient one. The result of this research is the implementation of MRP method for fashion company, which is REYN company by using Lot-for- Lot as the lot-sizing method. The determination of using Lot-fot-Lot method is because Lot-for-Lot method generates the lowest total cost than the other method. The total costs are consisting of holding costs and ordering costs of each components. Therefore, by using Material Requirement Planning (MRP), the company will not only prevent any problems in production scheduling, but also could minimize the costs and facilitate the inventory management. Moreover, this study can be the references for other fashion company to generate their production planning and scheduling.
