Beyond Material Planning: The MRP II Architecture
While MRP I answers what materials to buy and when, MRP II integrates plant labor, machine tool constraints, and financial cashflow into a unified operational rhythm.
Enterprise Benefits:
- Master Production Schedule (MPS): Harmonizes sales forecasts and firm orders.
- Cash Flow Alignment: Translates shop-floor production plans directly into working capital requirements.
- Bottleneck Simulation: Pinpoints line stoppages caused by tooling starvation before jobs hit the floor.
