Materials requirement planning

Computer-based systems that plan backward from the production schedule to make purchases in order to manage inventory levels.

An early computer system for managing inventory. The materials requirement planning created forecasts of future sales that helped businesses determine the materials they needed to have ready for sale at a given time. As other programs became more common, the materials requirement planning program was integrated into more sophisticated systems.
