When work is scheduled in detail using the setup and run time required for each order, it is called which of the following?
A) Infinite loading
B) Finite loading
C) Machine-limited
D) Labor-limited
E) Johnson's rule

Finite loading involves scheduling work based on the setup and run time required for each order, taking into account the capacity of the production system. It is a more detailed and realistic approach to production scheduling than infinite loading, which assumes an endless capacity. Machine-limited and labor-limited refer to constraints on specific resources, but do not necessarily involve detailed scheduling. Johnson's rule is a heuristic for sequencing jobs in a production environment, but again, does not involve detailed scheduling based on setup and run times.
