Taking Time to look ahead: MRP Solutions

Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) is defined as a method for the effective planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses operational planning in units, financial planning in dollars, and has a simulation capability to answer what if questions and extension of closed-loop MRP. This is not exclusively a software function, but a collaberation of people skills, dedication to data base accuracy, and computer resources. It is a total company management concept for using human resources more productively.

MRP integrates many areas of the manufacturing enterprise into a single entity for planning and control purposes, from board level to operative and from five-year plan to individual shop-floor operation. It builds on closed-loop Material Resource Planning (MRP) by adopting the feedback principle but extending it to additional areas of the enterprise, primarily manufacturing-related.

MRP is not a proprietary software system and can thus take many forms. It is almost impossible to visualise an MRP system that does not use a computer, but an MRP system can be based on either purchased or in-house software.
