The multiplication process used by MRP to determine lower level requirements is
called:
time-phasing
pegging
netting
projecting
exploding
The solution to the problem is as follows:
1. Start by carefully reading and understanding the problem. We need to identify the correct term
used by MRP for determining lower level requirements in the multiplication process.
2. Review each option provided as possible solutions: time-phasing, pegging, netting, projecting, and
exploding.
3. To ensure we select the correct answer, let's analyze each option one by one:
- Time-phasing: While time-phasing is a concept related to scheduling and timing, it is not
specifically associated with the multiplication process used by MRP.
- Pegging: Pegging is the process of linking higher-level demands to lower-level requirements.
However, pegging is not the correct term for the multiplication process utilized by MRP.
- Netting: Netting refers to offsetting demands and supplies to determine the net requirements.
Although netting is a step in the MRP process, it is not the multiplication process itself.
- Projecting: The term "projecting" generally refers to estimating or forecasting future
requirements. While projection plays a role in MRP, it doesn't accurately describe the multiplication
process.
- Exploding: Exploding is the correct term used by MRP to describe the multiplication process for
determining lower-level requirements. It involves breaking down higher-level requirements into
component parts at lower levels.
4. Based on our analysis, the correct answer to the problem is "exploding."
