MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is the system that focuses on the detailed scheduling and planning of material requirements based on the MPS (Master Production Schedule). MRP calculates the raw materials, components, and semi-finished goods that are needed to fulfill the production schedule. Therefore, it is the best choice for this question. EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) is a method used to determine the optimal order quantity of inventory items, ELS (Enterprise-wide Logistics System) is a system that manages the physical flow of goods and information throughout the supply chain and MPC (Master Production Control) is a process that controls the production process by following the production schedule. However, none of these systems focus specifically on the detailed scheduling process as much as MRP does.
