Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MPS (Master Production Schedule) process handles independent demand items, which are items that are in demand by customers and therefore have unpredictable demand. On the other hand, the MRP (Materials Requirements Planning) process handles dependent demand items, which are items that are needed to produce the end products and have predictable demand. Therefore, the correct choice is C, as it distinguishes between these two types of demand items. Choices A and D both involve end items, which the MPS process does not handle, and choice B involves raw materials, which is not exclusive to the MRP process.
