MRP Unpacked: The Core of Modern Manufacturing Planning

A practical, deep-dive into Material Requirements Planning (MRP). We break down what MRP is, how it uses the BOM, the difference between independent and dependent demand, and the data and outputs that drive production and purchasing schedules. We also trace its evolution—from early computerized systems to Orlicky’s 1964 breakthrough and today’s software-driven planning— contextualized for modern supply chain professionals.
