What is the difference between ERP and MRP?

MRP (Manufacture Resource Planning) is more focused on planning for use of materials required to produce a business product, whereas ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) takes in the whole ecosphere of a business not just the manufacturing components, areas such as finance, HR, workforce, and property are all parts of an ERP system.

in cases MRP forms a part of the ERP system depending on type of busniness model.

ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning and is an information system designed to coordinate the resources, information and processes within an organisation. It comprises of a common database that provides interfaces and information to every department within the business.

Depending on which definition of MRP you follow there are different interpretations – Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II), which then evolved into ERP. As ERP systems have developed some have moved away from their manufacturing roots. This has resulted in failed implementations due to the chosen ERP system’s processes not matching the business requirements.

Material Resource Planning is part of the Enterprise Resources Planning.

Material requirements planning (MRP) is a production planning, scheduling, and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes. Most MRP systems aresoftware-based, while it is possible to conduct MRP by hand as well.

An MRP system is intended to simultaneously meet three objectives:

• Ensure materials are available for production and products are available for delivery to customers.
• Maintain the lowest possible material and product levels in store
• Plan manufacturing activities, delivery schedules and purchasing activities.
