Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DRP is a time-phased stock replenishment plan for all levels of a distribution network, which involves forecasting demand, determining inventory requirements, and scheduling replenishment orders to ensure that sufficient stock is available to meet customer demand at all times. It can be used to manage inventory and transportation costs, improve the efficiency of the supply chain, and reduce stockouts and overstocks.
