Since its creation in 2011, the DDMRP planning method has been catalogued as an important tool to deal with the high variability of the environment, especially in demand, since it allows modifying inventory levels without neglecting the level of service and quality of the products. However, the volume of research available on this method is small, even more, so those considering the application in complex industries. The objective of this research was to analyze the available literature about the application of the model in complex industries, considering its application trends, buffer positioning and improvement target factors. In addition, it allowed identifying areas that other researchers should study in the future. This systematic review scrutinized different applications of the method in complex industries worldwide by analysing literature in different languages. This research iden...
