Elements calculated in the master scheduling process include:

The correct answer is D. Available-to-promise (ATP) .

Available-to-promise is calculated from the master schedule to determine the portion of inventory and planned production that has not yet been committed to customer orders. Time fences are planning rules or boundaries, service-parts forecasts are demand inputs, and allocations may reserve inventory, but ATP is the element calculated in the master scheduling process.

Exact extract: “Available-to-promise is the portion of inventory and planned production not already committed to orders. ATP allows accurate delivery promises to be made to the customer.”

Another exact extract states: “Used with assemble-to-order and make-to-order companies available-to-promise commits uncommitted portion of a company’s inventory or planned production.”

Therefore, the element calculated in master scheduling is available-to-promise (ATP) .
