Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A DRP system (Distribution Requirements Planning) focuses on managing the flow of finished goods to meet customer demand. It relies on a reliable MRP (Materials Requirements Planning) system to manage the upstream supply chain, including the inbound flow of raw materials and components. Kan Ban, VMI/Consignment, and JIT are all related to inventory management and production scheduling, but they are not directly related to the requirements planning aspect that DRP focuses on. Therefore, C is the best choice.
