MRP Software FAQs
What is MRP Software?
MRP software, or Material Requirements Planning, is a manufacturing solution that helps companies track and calculate the types, quantities, and timing of materials needed to meet production plans and customer demand.
MRP software can help automate many manual and paper-based processes, such as purchase orders and quality assurance. This system also collects data from the shop floor, planning, and scheduling to give manufacturers a holistic view of their processes and make every part of their process more efficient. Real-time accurate data helps manufacturers control their stock, purchasing, orders, and output.

What is the difference between MRP and ERP?
ERP is Enterprise Resource Planning software. It includes all of the functionality of MRP, but incorporates further data from sales, accounting, human resources, payroll, customer relationship management and more. MRP can be integrated with financial systems to create an ERP system. MRP is essentially a module of a larger ERP system.
Who is MRP software suitable for?
MRP software is typically used by organisations involved in manufacturing and production. Here are the key users:
1. Manufacturing Companies**: These companies use MRP software to plan production schedules, manage inventory, and ensure that materials are available when needed to meet customer demand.
2. Production Managers: They use MRP to optimise the production process, ensuring that materials and resources are used efficiently to meet production goals.
3. Inventory Managers: These professionals rely on MRP software to track inventory levels, reorder materials, and minimise waste by ensuring the right amount of materials are available at the right time.
4. Supply Chain Managers: MRP helps them coordinate with suppliers, manage lead times, and ensure that materials flow smoothly through the supply chain.
5. Procurement Teams: They use MRP software to generate purchase orders, forecast future material needs, and negotiate with suppliers based on the production schedule.
6. Operations Managers: They oversee the overall manufacturing process, using MRP to align production with business objectives and customer demands.
7. Financial Analysts and Accountants: These professionals use MRP data to forecast costs, manage budgets, and assess the financial impact of production decisions.
