MRP is a computer system that an organization utilizes to order and schedule items used in manufacturing processes. These items include raw materials, work-in-process goods and completely finished products. MRP is an integral part of corporate production systems, helping senior management budget material costs and monitor production schedules.
The first MRP systems of inventory management evolved in the 1940s and 1950s. They used mainframe computers to explode information from a bill of materials for a certain finished product into a production and purchasing plan for components.
