Program Level: Introduction
This session is designed to introduce the primary functions of the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module. It also covers the use of MRP tools to both estimate potential demand; and propose the supply that answers this demand. Additionally, it addresses the review of forecasts and master production schedules as a demand source, along with other demand sources, such as inventory requirements and orders.
