Which term is the detailed disaggregation of the APP, listing the exact end items to be produced by a specific period?

• A. MPS
• B. APP
• C. ATP
• D. Closed Loop MRP

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is turning an aggregate plan into a specific, executable production schedule. The Aggregate Production Plan outlines overall quantities to produce each period for groups of products. To actually run production, you need a schedule that specifies, for every period, the exact finished products to make and in what quantities. That level of detail is the Master Production Schedule. It translates the broad plan into concrete, SKU-level production orders aligned with capacity and lead times.

So the term that describes listing the exact end items to be produced by a specific period is the Master Production Schedule. The other terms don’t fit this role: the Aggregate Production Plan is the broader, high-level plan; Available to Promise is about order commitments; Closed Loop MRP refers to the feedback mechanism that updates planning based on execution.
