What is ERP/MRP?

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MRP (Material Requirements Planning) are integrated software systems used by businesses to manage and automate many back-office functions related to technology, services, and human resources. ERP systems typically handle financials, supply chain, operations, reporting, manufacturing, and human resource activities. MRP, often a module within an ERP, specifically focuses on production planning, scheduling, and inventory control, ensuring materials are available when needed for manufacturing processes.
