The core task of material requirements planning (MRP) is to ensure the availability of material and capacities. Planning should provide materials required for internal use and for sales right on schedule, either through purchasing or in-house production. In addition, the Planning framework also plans the utilization of production resources. The challenge for planning is in finding the optimal path between the highest delivery reliability and the minimization of costs and tied-up capital.

The planning framework supports and assists your planners in mastering this challenge. The planning framework manages the entire material and resources requirements planning logic.
