Abstract
Explains the principles of the material requirements planning (MRP) systems, answering all the basic questions in this connection. Tackles the problems inherent in the process, showing how they stimulated the evolution from MRP to MRPII (manufacturing resource planning), which now includes links to strategic and business plans through tools to help marketing and sales through demand management processes and tools to improve support for the master scheduling process.
