Question

Which one of the following is Not a decision taken during the aggregate production planning stage?

• A. Scheduling of machines
• B. Amount of labour to be committed
• C. Rate at which production should happen
• D. Inventory to be carried forward

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Scheduling of machines

Aggregate production planning is a capacity planning process that balances supply and demand for a period of fewer than 18 months. It establishes employment levels, output rates, inventory levels, subcontracting, and backorders for products that are aggregated. The decision of scheduling machines is not taken during this stage.
