MRP-I and MRP-II
MRP-I
Developed in 1970s, raw material whenever required by any organization is managed i.e, which
materials are required by company gets stored in a database. Also, it tells about shortage of any
material. Material Requirement Planning is widely used approach for production planning and
scheduling in industry.
Function of MRP is to provide material availability i.e., it is used to produce the requirement
quantities on time. This process involves monitoring of stocks and demand, leading to automatic
creation of procurement proposals for purchasing or production. Main objective of MRP is to
determine which material is required, quantity required and by when it is required.
Objectives of MRP
Inventory reduction:
It helps to meet delivery deadlines by coordinating inventories, procurement and production decision.
Realistic commitments
Improves customer satisfaction.
MRP System Architecture
Inputs
Outputs
• Work orders
• Purchase Orders
• Rescheduling orders
Master Production Schedule
Primary Reports
Work orders / Planned orders -
schedule indicating the amount and
timing of future orders.
Order Release - Authorization for the
execution of planned orders.
Action Notices or Rescheduling Notices
- which orders are to be released, revised
and canceled during the current time
period.
Secondary Reports
Performance control Reports – evaluate system
operations .
They aid in measuring deviations from plans, and
also provide information to assess cost performance.
Planning Reports – are useful to forecast future
inventory requirements.
Exception Reports – these help to find the major
discrepancies such as late and overdue orders,
excessive scrap rates, reporting errors, etc.

Evolution to MRP-II
Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) is an integrated information system used by businesses. Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP
II) evolved from early Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) systems by including the integration of additional data, such as employee and
financial needs.
The system is designed to centralize, integrate, and process information for effective decision making in scheduling, design engineering,
inventory management, and cost control in manufacturing.
Both MRP and MRP II are seen as predecessors to Enterprise resource planning (ERP), which is a process whereby a company, often a
manufacturer, manages and integrates the important parts of its business.
An ERP management information system integrates areas such as planning, purchasing, inventory, sales, marketing, finance, and human
resources. ERP is most frequently used in the context of software, with many large applications having been developed to help companies
implement ERP.
Understanding MRP-II
Distribution Resource Planning or DRP refers to a planning process that allows you to define some inventory level control parameters,
such as the security or safety stock, and to calculate inventory requirements over time based on sales forecasts and orders.
It is a method used in business administration for planning orders within a supply chain. DRP enables the user to set certain inventory
control parameters and calculate the time-phased inventory requirements. This process is also commonly referred to as distribution
requirements planning.
Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) is the process of determining the right quality of finished goods to be sent to each
distribution center or warehouse in order to meet customer demand. During DRP, customer and forecasted demand are translated into
purchase orders. This process depends on actual demand signals such as customer orders as those orders are used to plan the gross
requirements of the supply source.
This process integrates several variables such as:
Product quantity required at start of cycle
Maximum product quantity available at start of cycle
Recommended order quantity at start of cycle
Pending request at end of cycle inventory
Store Area Available balance Safety Stock Lead time Order Quantity
