A Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) system is a production planning and inventory control system that helps organizations efficiently manage their resources for the entire production process. MRP systems are designed to provide an efficient way of controlling production from the procurement of raw materials, through to manufacturing processes and finally delivery of the finished goods to customers. The key benefit of MRP is that it enables organizations to better plan, optimize and control their production operations, resulting in improved customer service, lower costs and higher profits. Ultimately, using an MRP system leads to increased efficiency in production, increased profitability and a better overall supply chain experience.
