What is Material Requirement Planning

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is real-time software deployed by businesses to manage and control their inventories efficiently. It seeks to improve the production cycle, reduce inventory levels, and increase cash flows while ensuring prompt delivery. 

The MRP system strikes a balance by ensuring enough materials are available to keep the production going at the optimal price. 

The Material Requirement Plan answers three basic questions of the production - what is required, how much quantity is needed, and when it is necessary. 

The system also helps to save costs by ensuring the following:

  • Availability of optimum raw materials in hand to prevent missing deadlines.

  • No overbuying of raw materials can cause cash to be tied up.

  • No risk relating to excess inventory

MRP adds more efficiency, profitability, and flexibility to the production process. 

Additionally, MRP enables businesses to respond more swiftly to rising demand for their products, avoiding inventory shortages and production snags that could cost them, clients. 

MRP is trusted by businesses and has played a significant role in their growth.
