	Material requirements planning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a software based production planning and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes.
		Companies need to control the types and quantities of materials they purchase, plan which products are to be produced and in what quantities and ensure that they are able to meet current and future customer demand, all at the lowest possible cost.
		Running a report from MRP begins with an estimate of what products will be required in the next time period (an arbitrary length of time, often but not always one week), taken from the master production schedule.

	Enterprise resource planning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enterprise Resource Planning is a term originally derived from manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) that followed material requirements planning (MRP).
		MRP evolved into ERP when "routings" became major part of the software architecture and a company's capacity planning activity also became a part of the standard software activity.
		Enterprise resource planning systems are often closely tied to supply chain management and logistics automation systems.

		This variance would not be reflected in the freight cost allocated to the material and the margin analysis on the shipment is affected.
		MRP’s are created to record each customer’s weekly inventory requirements utilizing company specific minimum and maximum target weeks to calculate the inventory levels required to satisfy the customer’s needs.

		It can plan and track future equipment and/or material requirements, which can be defined at a high general description level, or can be broken into discrete line items.
		Top level plans, as well as individual plan line items, may be tracked by status and status date, similar to the way that work order status functions within SMART/CMS and MMS.
		This then allows any plan or line item to be upgraded to a requisition or purchase order status, with the information available to be electronically handed-off to Purchasing via a procurement system interface.

		According to the American Production and Inventory Control Society, Inc. (APICS), MRP is a set of techniques that uses bill of material data, inventory data, and the master production schedule to calculate requirements for materials.
		Time-phased MRP begins with the items listed on the Master Production Schedule and determines the quantity of all components and materials required to fabricate those items and the date that the components and material are required.
		Time-phased MRP is accomplished by exploding the bill of material, adjusting for inventory quantities on hand or on order and offsetting the net requirements by the appropriate lead times.

	Planning Resource Forums - Material Planning Consideration
		I works as a planner in the telecommunication industry and I am constantly running up against the same problem when considering sites within or in close proximity to housing where planner are considering that outlook from the dwellings is a material consideration when assessing mast proposal even when a site is 15-30m from housing.
		While outlook can be a planning consideration for example a proposal for a two storey extension on a pair of semi detached houses directly abutting the boundary will due to the overbearing and overshadowing impact create such a cramped outlook as to justify a refusal.
		I can only guess at the answer to that, it may be because they will have hundreds of local residents and Councillors demanding that the application be refused and when writing reasons for refusal, there is little point in leaving out something that could be considered material by an onspector.

		Abstract : The specialized material resource planning module for cut-to-size/shape industries must be able to recognize when current demand cannot be satisfied by the in stock inventory due to dimensional issues, and include that unsatisfied demand in its reorder messages.
		And, because the information they provide comes from a totally impartial source, they and the client receive that powerful endorsement they are both looking for when the products involved do indeed satisfy the buyer's needs in areas such as Enterprise Technologies.
