MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS WORK ORDER (MRP)

A computerized system used to determine the quantity and timing requirements for materials used in a production operation. MRP systems use a master production schedule, a bill of materials listing every item needed for each product to be made, and information on current inventories of these items to schedule production and delivery.
