Overview
What Material Requirements Planning does
MRP turns the order book into dated material actions. Requirements are netted against stock, work in progress and existing purchase orders before anything is suggested.
Every suggestion carries the jobs and due dates it protects, so a purchasing decision can be justified rather than argued.
