Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) software provides a complete production planning and inventory control system that:
- Reduces inventory carrying costs and gives users more control over the manufacturing processes
- Synchronizes sales, purchasing and production so users always know precisely what items are required, how many and when they're needed
- Protects against purchasing insufficent quantities of an item used in manufacturing, or purchasing the wrong item
- Ensures that users don't purchase excessive quantities of an item and tie up cash while it remains as stock
- Helps users consistently meet tight customer delivery contracts
