Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRP programs use long-range forecasts to put long-lead material on order. Long-range forecasts help in determining the required materials well in advance, which is particularly useful for long-lead items. Short-range forecasts, past consumption, or long-range demands may not provide accurate information for long-lead items.
