Abstract

The article discusses the shift from conventional Material Requirements Planning (MRP) software to integrated systems by manufacturing companies. Topics noted includes the features and growing sales of MRP and MRP II systems, and the inadequacy of MRP systems in addressing profitability issues. Industry observers cite that a key problem with MRP and MRP II systems is its lack of integration with non-manufacturing functions like customer order status, and shipment tracking.
