Material Requirements Planning (MRP) software helps businesses optimize inventory levels and synchronize material requirements with production schedules. It generates time-phased manufacturing and purchasing plans based on forecasts and actual customer demands. The software reduces inventory, improves customer service, and avoids shortages and stock-out scenarios that result in costly rush orders. It uses exception reporting to manage orders and vendor communications effectively.
