Conventional MRP uses time buckets that do not recognize capacity limits, and in fact ignores capacity issues. A more realistic scheduling system that includes work center capacities and other resource availabilities is
A) aggregate planning
B) the master production schedule
C) finite capacity scheduling
D) the assignment method
E) level material use

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Finite capacity scheduling recognizes the capacity limits of work centers and other resource availabilities. It uses this information to generate a more realistic schedule based on the availability of resources, taking into account other constraints such as material availability, setup times, and labor requirements. The other options listed do not specifically address capacity limitations in the same way.
