This is a classic operations management question. I can almost smell the musty textbooks from here. I'll go with A, forecasts are the key input for the MPS.

Ha! This is like a trick question. The bill of materials is so important, how could it not be an input to the MPS? I'm going with D.

I'm going with C. Inventories and existing capacity are definitely used to create the MPS. The others are all inputs as well.

Hmm, I think D is the correct answer. The bill of materials is an input to the MRP, not the MPS. This is a tricky one!

Yes, the bill of materials is not directly used in the master production schedule (MPS). It's more about forecasts, sales orders, and existing capacity.
