Abstract
Material requirements planning (abbreviated MRP), known as time-phased requirements planning, is a computer-based production planning and control system that is designed to work well for discrete production [1]. Discrete products such as automobile and machine tools are made up of a number of components which often form a hierarchial structure. Hence, whether the discrete products are efficiently produced according to their production schedule or not depends highly on the establishment of an effective production and control system that guarantees that components composing the products are available in necessary quantities when needed.
