What benefit does MRP II provide regarding visibility?

  1. Limited insight into material performance

  2. Comprehensive visibility into both material and capacity requirements

  3. Reduced access to activity logs

  4. Focus on external supplier availability only

The correct answer is: Comprehensive visibility into both material and capacity requirements

MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning) provides comprehensive visibility into both material and capacity requirements, which is crucial for effective production planning and resource allocation. This broader perspective allows organizations to not only track the materials needed for production but also understand the capacity of various resources, like machines and labor, required to meet production schedules. By integrating these insights, MRP II helps in anticipating potential bottlenecks, aligning production plans with available resources, and improving overall efficiency. This enhanced visibility supports better decision-making and helps in optimizing production processes, leading to improved service levels and reduced inventory costs. Visibility across material and capacity enables organizations to react proactively to demand changes and operational challenges. In contrast, limited insight into material performance, reduced access to activity logs, and a focus solely on external supplier availability would restrict the ability of a business to manage its operations effectively and diminish the benefits that MRP II is designed to offer.
