Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A closed loop MRP system is a manufacturing planning and control system that integrates data from production, inventory, and customer orders to provide real-time feedback to the planning process. It adjusts plans according to capacity and other requirements by synchronizing material purchase and component production plans with the master schedule and by providing feedback on manufactured items and materials on hand, thereby ensuring timely delivery of the finished product. Open loop MRP and CRP systems do not provide this level of integration and feedback.
