Material Requirements Planning物料需求计划

Material Requirements Planning is a calculation method that derives component purchase and production orders from the master production schedule, bills of materials, inventory records, and lead times. It appears in ERP documentation, production-control procedures, and planning training as the logic that determines what materials are needed, in what quantities, and when they must be ordered or released to support production.

Where this term appears

Translators meet MRP in ERP system screens, planning run descriptions, and user guides where fields such as planned order, release date, pegging, and exception message must be handled. A precise term choice matters because these labels appear in daily planner workflows and in error messages that trigger corrective action.

Translation checks

A typical error is translating MRP as generic 'material planning' or 'inventory planning,' which removes the computational, time-phased logic that distinguishes MRP from a broad planning activity. This can make a system message sound advisory rather than executable, or obscure the fact that planned orders are generated from BOM explosion and lead-time offsets.

Keep the term aligned across your files

Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.

Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
