Deva Raj,

Please stop these basic question posts. You can find a ton of info in other areas and this forum is NOT the place.

If a moderator is reading this, can you please review this guy's recent posts (under both names above, he has 2 ID's) and take some appropriate action?

Thanks

Bill

Dear Bill

I fully agree with you. Despite repeated requests NOT to post such questions, he continues to post.

Hi,

Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) is a scheduling procedure for production processes that have several levels of production. Given information describing the production requirements of the several finished goods of the system, the structure of the production system, the current inventories for each operation and the lot sizing procedure for each operation, MRP determines a schedule for the operations and raw material purchases.

Rgds,
