Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRP explosion involves breaking down the requirements of each parent item into its component parts, subassemblies, and raw materials. Therefore, the best choice is A. B is incorrect because MRP does not involve estimating the total amount of raw materials to be purchased from all suppliers. C is incorrect because it only refers to the parts to be produced for each parent item, and not the raw materials and subassemblies needed. D is also incorrect because it only refers to the parts needed to be produced and does not take into account the raw materials and subassemblies required.
