文摘:The right MRP system can deliver improved utilization of facilities and resources, better inventory planning and scheduling, faster response to market demand and changes, increased customer satisfaction, and, ultimately, increased profits...if potential pitfalls are addressed. Material requirements planning (MRP) came onto the manufacturing scene six decades ago in response to the introduction of lean production by Toyota.
