What is ERP Software?
Manufacturing was the original spawning ground of MRP and MRP II which later evolved into the now ubiquitous ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) that we find in virtually every type of corporate entity.
ERP has evolved from a technique to plan dependent demand materials (“Material Requirements Planning” or “MRP”) in the seventies via a coherent set of best practices to plan and control the resources in a manufacturing concern (“MRPII”) in the eighties to “Enterprise Resource Planning” (ERP) software systems in the nineties.
