APICS CPIM – Basics of Supply Chain Management — Question 6

In an assemble-to-order production environment, the master production schedule contains:

Answer options

• A. standard items.
• B. finished items.
• C. raw materials.
• D. subassemblies.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the master production schedule in an assemble-to-order environment focuses on subassemblies that need to be completed to fulfill customer orders. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they refer to items that are either standard, finished, or raw materials, which are not the primary focus of the schedule in this specific production strategy.
