Because of the details, a great amount of data and computation are required which are :

1) Inputs
-  The information can be obtained from Open Order File, Material Requirement Plan, Routing File
    and Work Center File.

2) Open Order File
- It is released order for a quantity of a part to be manufactured and completed on a specific date. It
  will show all relevant information such as quantity, due dates and operations.

3) Planned Order Releases
- It will determined by the computer's MRP logic based upon the gross requirements for a particular      part. They are input to the CRP process in assessing the total capacity required in future time period.

4) Routing File
- A routing is the path that work follows from work center to work center as it is completed. A              routing file should exist for every components manufactured and contain some information.

5) Work Center File
- Work center is composed of a number of machines or workers capable of doing the same work. A      work center file contains information on the capacity and move, wait and queue time associated          with the center.
