Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assuming infinite capacity and perfect delivery of materials is a characteristic of open loop MRP systems. This type of system does not take into account any constraints or limitations, such as capacity or material availability, which can lead to unrealistic plans and schedules. Option A, assumption-based manufacture, is not a commonly used term in the field of operations management. CRP II, or capacity requirements planning, is a system that considers capacity constraints and is therefore not consistent with assuming infinite capacity. Batch manufacture is a production process where a specific quantity of a product is produced at one time, and is not related to MRP planning and scheduling.
