Both Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) and decoupling thinking uses decoupling points as to protect the flow of materials from uncertainties in supply and demand. However, the tools and concept used for positioning these decoupling points differs somewhat between DDMRP and decoupling thinking, each with their strength and weaknesses. Using analytical conceptual research, the purpose of this study is to combine concepts found in decoupling thinking and DDMRP to develop a process for positioning decoupling points. The result of the study is a 16 step continues process for positioning decoupling points. The process is intended to be used by supply chain operations managers in manufacturing companies as a step-by-step guideline to visualise a supply system and to identify possible or necessary changes to improve the current state of said supply system.
