ITPEC IP October 2021 — Question 87 of 100
MRP improves a situation where required materials and quantities are insufficiently or incorrectly known. It uses the production schedule, bill of materials, inventory records, and lead times to calculate what components are needed, how many, and when.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- drawing revisions are better managed by CAD or product-data management
- excessive design-change requests require design and change-control improvement
- high equipment cost for high-mix production is a manufacturing-system investment issue, not a material-requirements calculation problem
Key rule: MRP converts demand for finished products into time-phased requirements for dependent component materials.
