What is MRP software?
MRP software, or Material Requirements Planning software, is designed to help manufacturers ensure they have the right materials, in the right quantities, at the right time to meet production demands. It calculates material needs based on demand forecasts, inventory levels, lead times and Bill of Materials (BOM) data, allowing businesses to plan efficiently, minimize waste and optimize production schedules.
QT9 ERP's MRP module automates how manufacturers manage material planning. By instantly analyzing inventory, open orders and production needs, it generates precise work orders and purchase recommendations, keeping production running smoothly. Fully integrated within the QT9 ERP system, the MRP Module enables real-time decision-making, reduces manual errors and improves on-time delivery across the supply chain.

FAQ: MRP software
MRP is the process of determining the appropriate types and amounts of materials needed to produce a good and ensuring those materials are available when they are needed for production. The process consists of three primary steps: inventorying materials on hand, identifying what additional materials are needed, and then scheduling their production or purchase so that they arrive on time and in the right place so operations can proceed smoothly.
MRP software calculates the materials needed to meet production plans and customer demand using data from lead times, sales forecasts and production plans to determine the optimal stock levels. With MRP software, companies can easily view production requirements, stock on hand and purchasing or production needs, as well as historical purchasing and production data.
An MRP system can be used in different manners depending on the type of business, its products and its fulfillment approach – make to order or make to stock. For manufacturing, MRP software almost always utilizes a Bill of Materials (BOM) to determine the parts and components a business will need to purchase or manufacture to create a product. A BOM is the ultimate record of the these items. It gives manufacturers and inventory control experts a plan by which to begin gathering materials.
MRP is often a function of an ERP system, working in conjunction with many standard ERP functions, including purchasing, production scheduling, inventory control, BOM management and compliance.
