What is MRP?

 MRP stands for: Materials Requirements Planning.

 The function of MRP is to provide material availability, i.e.,

it is used to procure the requirement quantities on time.
This process involves the monitoring of stocks, demand,
lead time and leading to the automatic creation of
procurement proposals (PR’s) for purchasing.
 The main objective of MRP is to determine which material
is required, the quantity required and by when it is
required.
