Which output is associated with material requirements planning and also contributes to the priority plan assessed in capacity requirements planning?

Planned order receipt dates for work center outputs
Open order quantities for families of products
Priority plan due dates and quantities for end items
Validated capacity for components and assemblies

The correct answer is: Planned order receipt dates for work center outputs

The correct choice reflects the important relationship between material requirements planning (MRP) and capacity requirements planning (CRP). Planned order receipt dates for work center outputs are essential elements in MRP as they provide a timeline for when materials and components are expected to arrive at various work centers. This information directly influences the CRP process by allowing planners to assess whether there will be sufficient capacity to handle incoming materials at the required times. By identifying the planned order receipt dates, organizations can better align their production schedules with the availability of materials, ensuring that work centers are adequately prepared to meet production demands. This alignment is crucial for optimizing resources and maintaining efficient manufacturing processes.
