Input/output control, huh? Sounds like a job for the IT guys. I'll stick to my spreadsheets, thank you very much.

Honestly, I'm just hoping the exam doesn't ask me to do any actual math. Exponential smoothing gives me flashbacks to statistics class.

Discrete lot sizing? Sounds like a lot of work, if you ask me. I'll pass on that one.

Rough-cut capacity planning seems a bit too rough for my liking. I want something that can really dial in those numbers, you know?
