ITPEC IP April 2019 Question 86
ITPEC IP April 2019 — Question 86 of 100
MRP improves planning when complex product structures make required material quantities and order quantities difficult to calculate. It uses the production schedule, bills of materials, inventory records, and lead times to determine what components are needed, how many, and when.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- drawing versions and change histories are managed by document, CAD, or product-data systems
- frequent design changes are not solved merely by calculating material requirements
- the cost of production equipment is a capacity and investment issue
Key rule: MRP converts planned production into time-phased component purchase and production requirements.
