Question

Materials requirements planning is driven by

• A. master production schedule
• B. total quality measurement
• C. overall production planning
• D. overall inventory planning

Answer 1

Answer:

A. master production schedule

Material Requirement Planning (MRP) is a method used to ensure that all necessary materials and sub-assemblies are available at the appropriate time for production. The Master Production Schedule (MPS) is a complete timetable of scheduled production that drives MRP. The Inventory Record File provides up-to-date inventory information, while the Bill of Material specifies how each final product is manufactured.
