Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning) provides more extensive information than MRP (Materials Resource Planning) because it is tied to the company's financial system. MRP II integrates all functional areas of a manufacturing organization, including finance, accounting, sales, engineering, and production, to better plan and control the manufacturing process. It provides a comprehensive view of the entire manufacturing operation, from raw materials to finished goods, and allows for more accurate forecasting and inventory management. While it does use computer systems, it is not necessarily faster than regular MRP and is not limited to aiding order-launching decisions. It does not incorporate informal systems through expert systems technology.
