Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MRP systems have the capability to indicate when to de-expedite (reduce the priority) as well as expedite (increase the priority) orders, which helps in improving operations planning and control. This capability helps in optimizing the production schedule by ensuring that the right inventory is available at the right time, reducing lead times, and improving customer satisfaction. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.

B, C, D, and E are incorrect choices because they are either irrelevant or inaccurate. MRP systems do not consume large amounts of paper, nor do they prevent changes in production orders, anticipate returns of defective products, or operate in isolation.
