You will conduct research and write an essay on Material Requirements Planning (MRP).

Instructions

This will be a research assignment. You will complete a thorough essay that is a minimum of three hundred words, double spaced and uses APA formatting for all citations of sources. Minimum subject coverage will include a comprehensive definition of the subject, along with a complete explanation of its purposes, methods, and applicability in the manufacturing and cost accounting process and environment.

You will be expected to do research online and/or in the library to assemble the material for the essay, and you will be required to appropriately cite the resources used in the essay. I recommend that your starting point be the write-up on Material Requirements Planning on Wikipedia. While I don’t generally recommend Wikipedia as a source for research, the one on MRP is a decent explanation and a good starting point to understand the subject and the terminology for further research.
