All of the choices are true statements about capacity planning in closed-loop MRP. Closed-loop MRP is a system that uses feedback from each work center to adjust the production plan and ensure efficient use of existing resources. Capacity planning in this system makes use of resource requirements profiles (load reports) and may employ tactics like overlapping and lot splitting to smooth work center loads. The goal is not to add capacity, but rather to optimize the use of existing capacity.
