What is MRP?

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a planning and control system for inventory, production, and scheduling. It translates a master production schedule into requirements for all subassemblies, components, and raw materials needed to produce end items. MRP is commonly used to ensure materials are available for production and products are available for delivery to customers. It aims to have the right materials in the right quantities at the right time.
