I was asked to help extending a timeline of MRP history by publishing the link to the timeline URL . Knowledgable readers in this domain may add and extend the timeline. Previously I was asked to help similar effort related to ERP . I was able to provide information, which extended the time line. But my MRP knowledge is neglectable' so I will not add even MRP- SOA related data. If you know more than I do about MRP you are wellcome to extend the time line.
