RE: General Culture(MRP)

>From the APICS dictionary, 10th edition:

material requirements planning (MRP)   : A set of techniques that uses bill of 
material data, inventory data, and the master production schedule to calculate 
requirements for materials. It makes recommendations to release replenishment 
orders for material. Further, because it is time-phased, it makes 
recommendations to reschedule open orders when due dates and need dates are not 
in phase. Time-phased MRP begins with the items listed on the MPS and 
determines (1) the quantity of all components and materials required to 
fabricate those items and (2) the date that the components and material are 
required. Time-phased MRP is accomplished by exploding the bill of material, 
adjusting for inventory quantities on hand or on order, and offsetting the net 
requirements by the appropriate lead times.

manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) (C)   : A method for the effective 
planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses 
operational planning in units, financial planning in dollars, and has a 
simulation capability to answer what-if questions. It is made up of a variety 
of processes, each linked together: business planning, production planning 
(sales and operations planning), master production scheduling, material 
requirements planning, capacity requirements planning, and the execution 
support systems for capacity and material. Output from these systems is 
integrated with financial reports such as the business plan, purchase 
commitment report, shipping budget, and inventory projections in dollars. 
Manufacturing resource planning is a direct outgrowth and extension of 
closed-loop MRP.

Hope this helps.
