Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Material requirements planning (MRP) involves detailed planning and scheduling of materials at the individual part or component level. Master scheduling, on the other hand, is done at a higher level of aggregation to generate a production plan for finished goods. Therefore, MRP is performed at a more detailed level than master scheduling.
