Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a production planning and inventory control system that calculates the materials and components needed to manufacture products, based on production schedules, bills of materials, and current inventory levels. It helps manufacturers ensure materials are available for production while minimizing excess inventory and carrying costs. MRP is a foundational concept in operations management and is typically implemented through ERP software used by production planners and supply chain managers.
