What is MRP?
Is a production and inventory management system primarily used to plan and manage the supply of raw materials and components needed in the production process. The main goal of MRP is to ensure that materials are available at the right time for production, reducing inventory and optimizing the use of production capacity.

Key MRP functionalities include:
- Order Management: MRP helps plan and track production and supply orders, ensuring that the necessary materials are available to fulfill customer orders.
- Short and Medium-Term Planning: MRP allows for planning material resources and production on a short-term (days, weeks) and medium-term (months) basis, based on forecasted demand and existing orders.
- Just-in-Time Supply of Raw Materials: The MRP system optimizes the supply process to ensure that raw materials and components are available at the right time, preventing production delays and avoiding excess inventory buildup.
- Material Reservations: MRP allocates and reserves materials for different orders or production processes, preventing conflicts in resource use and avoiding unplanned shortages.
- Production Capacity Control: MRP can integrate and monitor the production capacity of equipment and human resources, ensuring a balance between product demand and the ability to produce these products without overloading resources.
