Material requirements planning (MRP) systems is a prominent approach to manage the material flow and components on the factory floor.

The master production schedule and bill of materials indicates the materials to be demanded, order scheduling, cycle time production and supplier lead times then these all factors jointly determine when orders should be placed. It is a time phased priority-planning technique that calculates material requirements and schedules supply to meet demand across all products and parts in one or more plants and used to optimize the inventory. It controls the system that attempts to keep adequate inventory levels to assure that required materials are available when needed. This method is used for a automobile servicing plant for procuring spare parts to reduce the servicing time of a vehicle.
