Q

The MRP system uses three sources of information:

A
  1. Demand comes from the master schedule.
  2. The bill-of-materials identifies exactly what is
    needed to make each end item.
  3. The current inventory status of the items managed by
    the system (units currently on-hand, expected receipts
    in the future, and how long it takes to replenish an
    item).
