Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distribution requirements planning (DRP) uses logic similar to MRP but it starts at the point closest to the customer and works backward towards the manufacturing plant. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choices A and B are incorrect because they describe traditional MRP logic rather than DRP. Choice D is incorrect because DRP is often included as a module in ERP software.
