Material Requirements Planning (MRP) helps managers ensure that the right parts and materials are available at the right time for the production process. It is a computer-based inventory management system that provides an accurate and detailed schedule of demand for each component or raw material needed to complete a specific product or project. This helps managers plan production and purchasing activities, optimize inventory levels, and reduce lead times.
