Abstract
Studies have shown that material requirements planning systems are critical to organisations’ performance and the balance of sustainability. It would translate to schedule production and deliver the right environmentally friendly products. However, there is a paucity of studies regarding material requirements planning systems and their role in enhancing environmentally friendly products in developing countries such as Iraq. This study appraises the correlation between the material requirements planning system and sustainability development to enhance efficiency in North Oil Company, Iraq. To address the study’s objectives, the researchers developed a hypothetical scheme to express the assumed relationship between the research variables and hypotheses tested. The study adopted a questionnaire survey for the data collection and 40 questionnaires retrieved as suitable from the North Oil Company’s employees in Iraq. The collected data were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. The research shows a significant correlation between material requirements planning systems and sustainability development. As part of the study’s implications, it suggests increasing the attention to all ways to enhance sustainable development in the researched company. It implies that improving efficiency and protecting the environment through unceasing improvement of processes and feedback to the organisation cannot be exaggerated.
