Feature
MRP uses demand forecasts, inventory levels, and production schedules to determine.
Bill of Materials (BOM)
The Bill of Materials (BOM) is a critical component of Figgro’s MRP and production management system, ensuring that operators have complete visibility and control over their manufacturing process.
Master Production Schedule (MPS)
The Master Production Schedule (MPS) in Figgro is essential for ensuring efficient, compliant, and cost-effective production. It provides operators with a clear roadmap of what needs to be produced, when, and in what quantities, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring optimal resource allocation
Inventory Management
Figgro’s Inventory Management System is critical for cannabis operators to maintain accurate stock levels, ensure compliance, and optimize production efficiency. By tracking on-hand stock, incoming materials, and reorder points, Figgro prevents inventory-related bottlenecks while ensuring regulatory adherence
Purchase Planning
Figgro’s Purchase Planning automates procurement, ensuring cannabis operators always have the right materials at the right time—without excess stock or supply shortages. This data-driven approach streamlines purchasing, reduces costs, and improves operational efficiency.

FAQs
10 Most Commonly Asked FAQs About MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
What is MRP (Material Requirements Planning)?
MRP is a manufacturing system that helps businesses determine what materials are needed, how much, and when to ensure smooth production without delays or excess inventory.
How does MRP differ from ERP?
MRP focuses specifically on inventory management, procurement, and production scheduling, while ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) includes broader business functions like finance, HR, and sales.
What are the key benefits of using MRP?
✅ Prevents stock shortages and over-purchasing
✅ Optimizes production schedules
✅ Reduces waste and lowers costs
✅ Improves order fulfillment and efficiency
✅ Enhances supply chain visibility
How does MRP help with inventory management?
MRP tracks raw materials, components, and finished goods, ensuring that businesses always have the right amount of inventory for production while preventing overstocking.
How does MRP integrate with purchasing and suppliers?
MRP automates purchase order generation, tracks supplier deliveries, and ensures that procurement aligns with production demand—reducing delays and improving vendor relationships.
What industries benefit the most from MRP?
MRP is widely used in manufacturing, including:
1- Cannabis & hemp production (tracking raw materials to finished goods)
2-Food & beverage (recipe-based production planning)
3- Pharmaceuticals (strict compliance & material tracking)
4- Automotive & aerospace (complex assembly line management)
How does MRP improve production scheduling?
MRP aligns production with demand by ensuring that materials arrive just in time, preventing bottlenecks and optimizing resource allocation.
What is the difference between MRP I and MRP II?
MRP I: Focuses on material planning and inventory control.
MRP II: Expands to production planning, scheduling, and capacity management for a more holistic approach.
How does MRP support regulatory compliance?
MRP ensures that businesses maintain proper documentation, batch tracking, and inventory records, which is crucial for industries like cannabis, pharmaceuticals, and food production.
What are common challenges when implementing MRP?
1- Data accuracy issues (MRP relies on precise inventory & demand forecasting).
2- Integration with other systems (ERP, accounting, etc.).
3- Training employees on new workflows.
4- Supplier reliability affecting material availability.
