Once Aggregate Planning is finished and the Master Product Schedule is published, the next step in the process is developing the Material Requirement Plan (MRP). The MRP is simply a list of the items that you will need to produce your product and when you will need them. In this assignment, we will look at MRP, its extension MRP II, and the development of ERP systems.
