The MRP ii-concept (Manufacturing resource Planning), among other things-developed by olive Wight, places production program planning (see MRP I), further planning levels in front. Business planning and the marketing convert the long-term strategies for production. On a rough level (category of commodities level, monthly raster) the product assortment is prognosticated and planned and adjusted with the rough capacity data (e.g. on level of group of machines). These planning is tumbling revised again and again.

The American Production and Inventory control Society (APICS) defines MRPII as follows:

• "MRPII is to be planned a method around all resources of a production enterprise. Ideally operational planning takes place in quantity units, related to value planning in dollar. For the answer of the question "which would be "it has simulation abilities. MRPII consists of a number linked with one another of functions: Business planning (Business Planning), paragraph and production rough planning (sales and operation planning), production planning (production planning) and production planning for material and capacity (execution support of system for capacity and material). The results of these systems are merged in the business plan, procurement plan, the transport costs plan and the inventory computer forecasts, everything expressed in dollar. MRP II is a direct extension of the MRP extended by the capacity calculation (MRP I)."

Long-term and strategic planning wins it in MRP II at meaning, begins already with business planning and the merchandising scheme. Planning wins more weights in relation to the control. The next planning level, the production program is then starting point for the planning steps with their separation between quantity and scheduling, which can be accomplished within the MRP of I-concept, (see MRP).

That MRP II was one of the first successful key words of the software industry, suddenly was sufficient no more MRP or PPS remains critical noting, it had MRP II to be. Within wide ranges been sufficient slight extensions of well-known PPS applications around planning modules hierarchically running off, naturally connected with a baptizing act on MRP II.
