Seasonal production often faces unpredictable fluctuations in demand. For example, the apparel industry experiences increased demand during specific seasons like holidays or seasonal changes. Without proper planning, businesses may encounter two main issues:

• Stock shortages, resulting in lost sales opportunities.
• Overstock, leading to increased storage costs.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems are designed to help businesses accurately plan material needs. Here’s how MRP supports industries in managing seasonal challenges:

• Historical Demand Analysis:
  MRP leverages historical data to predict seasonal demand patterns, enabling businesses to stock the right amount of raw materials.
• Flexible Production Scheduling:
  MRP allows businesses to create dynamic production schedules and adjust production capacity based on market demand.
• Efficient Inventory Management:
  MRP ensures that raw materials are available in the right quantities at the right time, minimizing the risks of overstock or stockouts.
• Reduced Lead Time:
  MRP integrates material procurement schedules with production timelines, reducing delays between ordering materials and starting production.

The food industry often experiences demand surges during festive seasons like Christmas or Ramadan. With MRP, companies can:

• Ensure essential raw materials, such as flour or sugar, are sufficiently stocked.
• Minimize material wastage due to expiration.
• Optimize production schedules to ensure products are ready on time for the market.
