📚 The MRP Question

MRP answers: "When should I order each component?"

If the finished product is due in Week 10 and takes 2 weeks to assemble, assembly must start by Week 8.

If a component has 3-week lead time, it must be ordered by Week 5 to arrive by Week 8.

Order Week = Need Week − Lead Time
