Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Material requirements planning (MRP) is a computer-based information system designed to handle ordering and scheduling of dependent-demand inventories. It helps in determining the timing and quantity of materials and components required for production to meet the demand for finished products. MRP is used to streamline the manufacturing process and ensure that production runs smoothly by maintaining inventory levels and avoiding stockouts.
