requirements planning (MRP) system provides the user with information about timing (when to order) and quantity (how much to order)‚ generates new orders‚ and reschedules existing orders as necessary to meet the changing requirements of customers and manufacturing. The system is driven by change and constantly recalculates material requirements based on actual or forecasted orders. It makes adjustments to deal with possible problems prior to their occurrence‚ unlike traditional control systems‚ which looked
