I dunno, this one's got me stumped. Is the answer D) Production plan? I mean, it kind of sounds like it could be, right? Or maybe I'm just being a total goofball. Guess I'll have to use my lifeline and call a friend on this one!

Haha, this question is a real brain-teaser! I'm going to go with C) MPS, but I'm also considering D) Production plan just to keep the exam folks on their toes. Either way, I'm gonna nail this exam and treat myself to a victory dance afterwards!

Easy peasy! The answer is clearly C) MPS. Maintaining finished-goods inventory and scheduling to meet customer requirements are textbook MPS objectives. I could do this exam with my eyes closed!

Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. I'm torn between A) MRP and C) MPS, but I'm leaning towards C) since the question is focused on customer service and inventory levels, which are more aligned with the goals of MPS.

I think the answer is C) MPS. The objectives mentioned in the question are specifically related to production scheduling and planning to meet customer demand, which are the main goals of the Master Production Schedule (MPS).
