I'm just picturing an MRP system trying to do stand-up comedy. 'Hey, I'm great at planning materials, but decision support? That's not my jam, man.'

Ooh, this is a tough one. I'm going to go with B. MRP is about managing materials and production, not optimizing equipment utilization. That's a whole other ballgame.

Haha, this is a tricky one. I bet the answer is D, though. MRP is all about scheduling production, not managing the labor force. That's a separate piece of the puzzle.

Hmm, I'd say it's A. Financial requirements planning seems a bit outside the scope of MRP, which is more focused on the materials and production side of things.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. MRP systems are all about production planning, not decision support. That's a different kind of system altogether.

Exactly, decision support planning is a separate system that deals with different aspects of the business.

That's correct. MRPI and MRPII focus more on material and production planning.

But what about decision support planning? I think MRPI and MRPII can also assist with that.
