Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The materials requirements planning system (MRP) is primarily focused on creating the master production schedule, which is a detailed plan for manufacturing inventory items. The system uses data related to product components to determine the required materials and when they should be ordered or produced to ensure timely completion of the production schedule. While the system may provide information on sequencing and component data, its primary objective is to generate the production schedule.
