Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) system needs three major input components: Master production schedule (MPS), Inventory status file, and Bill of Materials (BOM). MPS is designed to meet the future market demand. BOM represents the product structure while the inventory status file keeps an up-to-date record of each item in the inventory.
