As a side comment.
We once had an MRP dumped on us by the new MD. Consumed 12 months and many
man hours in installation and subsequent maintenance. It never-ever gave us
anything in return. (could never even be made to understand what a part reel
of wire was)
These things tend to be liked by bean counters as they can offer total
accountability for parts, materials, labour and costs.
Of good benefit to companies making (say) mechanical products that use a
set number of nuts, bolts and washers, are carved in Granite and sold
without change for years.
MRP can fall over when faced with a typical 'chaotic' electronics company
and it's continual design changes due to obsolete and unavailable parts,
design modifications, improvements etc.
Following 2 MD's then brought with them ideas of 'cell' manufacturing and
then Kanban. I'd had enough and left.
