Question

Your manager, Felix Young, wants to know why your estimate of the time it will take to get an MRP system up and running is so long. Young noted that you included an allowance for "potentially inaccurate bill of materials and inventory records," and he wants to know how the company could have operated as well as it has "if the records weren’t pretty accurate right now." Write a one-page memo in response to Young’s concerns.

Answer 1

Answer: MRP is a term used in data warehousing to refer to a system that is used to process the day-to-day transactions of an organization. These systems are designed in a manner that processing of day-to-day transactions is performed efficiently and the integrity of the transactional data is preserved.

Explanation: Based on the findings from Young it showed that his management runs an inefficient system that has no accountability and modes of operation in bench marking staff operations on a daily and monthly basis. 2. Records for business transactions should be automated to cushion fraudulent practice from staff or management.
