The lethal consequences of CO in engine exhaust is tragically illustrated by the hundreds of persons who die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a running vehicle inside a closed garage.
MRP is a computer system that an organization utilizes to order and schedule items used in manufacturing processes. These items include raw materials, work-in-process goods and completely finished products. MRP is an integral part of corporate production systems, helping senior management budget material costs and monitor production schedules.
Back then, the concept applied to inventory management and control in the manufacturing sector. Software engineers created programs to monitor inventory, reconcile balances, and report on status. By the 1970s, this had evolved into Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems for scheduling production processes. In the 1980s, MRP grew to encompass more manufacturing processes, prompting many to call it MRP-II or Manufacturing Resource Planning.
