ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 — Question 54 of 60
MRP calculates required component quantities based on a master production schedule and a Bill of Materials (BOM).
- •(b) ✓ — components are calculated from the standard production plan → this is exactly how MRP works
- •(a) — describes concurrent engineering (parallel development/design/production prep)
- •(c) — describes make-to-order / pull production, not MRP (MRP is plan-driven, not order-triggered)
- •(d) — describes kanban or shop floor control worksheets
Key rule: MRP = production plan + BOM → calculates what materials/components to order and when. It is a push-based planning system.
