Answer: A, B, D
ReplyDeleteA) Basically Ind/Coll indicator '1' will be the parent's planning strategy and Ind/Coll indicator '2' is to switch the assembly or component to MTS. It is most likely thinking that this is not relevant for a MTS startegy Scenario as setting this insicator to '1' or '2' does not make sense for the aseembly of components. In general, the statement is TRUE that this indicator is relvant for MTO planning strategies.
ReplyDeleteD) This is exactly why components or assembly of a product of MTS planning strategy is set with ind/coll indicator 'blank' as it will follow the behavior of its parent. However if the parent is set with a MTO planning strategy, the ind/coll indicator of '2' at the child will be switch to MTS mode with common stocks planning.
ReplyDeleteE) You can clearly see segmentation for MTO or ind/coll indicator '1' in both the MRP list and S/R list. However, there are no segmentation for ind/coll '2' materials.
ReplyDeleteB, C) The Explosion Type allows you option to swtich from individual indicator at the MRP 4 view to collective behavior, there is also option for the opposite to witch the collective indicator at the MRP4 view to individual behvaior.
