Abstract
The data processing approach to MRP II is to use a straightforward algorithm to create an mrp solution and then to see if the plan is feasible with respect to capacity. In keeping with a data processing or information technology mentality, the users can also be given a lot of information to help them change the input data. The optimization approach that we are developing here asks for information about objectives and tries to obtain a good or optimal plan automatically.
