ERP was originally developed to support the complexity of the manufacturing enterprise. Material Requirements Planning (MRP) was the first chapter in the ERP story. The ability to manage large, complex, multilevel Bill-of-Materials, dynamic master schedules and vendor delivery releases was the beginning of JIT and Lean manufacturing we know today.
