Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The automated scheduling of production orders and movement of materials in the production process is a function of Material Resource Planning (MRP) systems. Computer-integrated manufacturing systems (CIMs) are a broader category of systems that integrate various aspects of manufacturing, including MRP. Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are software tools used in the design and production stages of manufacturing, respectively, but do not specifically address scheduling and material movement automation.
