In this type of production, the typical scheduling approach is infinite, forward scheduling of jobs: usually labor-limited, but certain functions may be machine-limited (a heat-treating process or a precision machining center, for example); priorities determined by MRP due dates.
A) Projects
B) Mid-volume manufacturing
C) Continuous processes
D) Low-volume workcenters
E) High-volume manufacturing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low-volume workcenters typically have a labor-intensive production process, with certain functions potentially being machine-limited. The scheduling approach is typically infinite, forward scheduling based on material requirements planning (MRP) due dates, giving priority to jobs with closer due dates.

In This Type of Production, the Typical Scheduling Approach Is
