What is the primary goal of Material Requirement Planning (MRP) in Infor M3?

The primary goal of Material Requirement Planning (MRP) in Infor M3 is to ensure that materials are available for production. MRP systems are designed to manage manufacturing processes by calculating the quantity and timing of material requirements based on production schedules. This ensures that the right materials are available at the right time, which is crucial for maintaining efficient production flow and meeting production deadlines.

By focusing on material availability, MRP helps to prevent delays in the production process due to stockouts or excess inventory, optimizing resource utilization, and improving overall operational efficiency. This core function directly influences the performance of manufacturing operations, contributing to the seamless execution of production plans.
