MRP Software
Welcome to the MRP Software Directory. What does MRP mean? MRP can stand for materials resource planning, manufacturing resource planning, materials requirements planning or manufacturing requirements planning, but in general, the meaning is the same. Basically, MRP is about managing the balance between supply and demand. This is accomplished by analyzing current and predicted future material and distribution requirements and planning accordingly. MRP software is best integrated with a production scheduling application as well as a supply chain management application.
MRP, or material requirements planning software, helps manufacturers answer the questions, What is needed? How much is needed? When is it needed?
A good MRP system helps generate accurate material requirements and master production schedules, provides bills of material and routings with real or standard allocations. They help companies maintain tighter control of raw materials inventories, releasing more operating revenue and reducing supply bottlenecks and raw materials shortages.
