Material Requirement Planning (MRP) is a systems approach used in production processes for planning. Many forms of uncertainty affect the production process and different approaches have been advocated for MRP with uncertainty. In this paper a review of this literature is carried out and the current research of the authors on MRP with uncertainty due to quality variations in the production process is discussed.
