Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distribution resource planning (DRP) is a time-phased stock replenishment plan for all levels of a distribution network. It takes into account sales forecasts, inventory levels, lead times, and other factors to determine how much inventory is needed at each location and when it should be ordered or transferred between locations. DRP helps ensure that the right products are in the right place at the right time to meet customer demand while minimizing inventory and transportation costs.
