CSCP Exam - Question 454


In an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system, which of the following processes feeds the master schedule?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

In an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system, demand planning is the process that feeds the master schedule. Demand planning involves forecasting customer demand to ensure that products can be manufactured to meet future sales. This anticipated demand is then used to develop the master production schedule (MPS), which outlines when and how much product to produce to meet the expected customer requirements. Other processes such as purchasing planning, distribution planning, and fulfillment planning play crucial roles in overall supply chain management but do not directly feed the master schedule as demand planning does.
