Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An MRP (Material Requirements Planning) system is designed to handle dependent demand, which means it considers the demand for an item that is based on the demand for another item. This is often the case in manufacturing where the demand for a final product is dependent on the demand for its component parts. MRP systems use a bill of materials and a master production schedule to calculate the required material quantities and schedules for production. JIT (Just-in-Time) systems, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, and Kanban systems do not necessarily handle dependent demand as their primary focus.
