Which of the following is NOT one of the benefits in MRP? A. better response to customer orders as the result of improved adherence to schedules B. increased inventory levels C. faster response to market changes D. improved utilization of facilities and labor

Option "C" -  Increased inventory levels.

Explanation:

    MRP which is an acronym for material requirement, planning is basically a system that is used for the calculation of the materials and constituents required for the manufacture of a product. Material requirements planning (MRP) is usually concerned with a three key areas which are:-

*** Taking inventory of the available constituents, components or materials for  production.

*** Indicating the additional components and materials that are still required for the production

*** Scheduling the products' manufacture or production or even purchase.

     The material requirements planning (MRP) is simply the use of a computer to automate the entire manufacturing or production process in an organization.

    Now, the benefits of MRP includes all the options in the question except option "c" which is - Increased inventory levels. An inventory is just a complete list of raw materials in stock in production company. MRP does not necessarily increase or  help to increase the list of materials or components in stock, it only takes stock of the materials that are available and indicates the supplementary or extra components and materials that are still required for a production process.

    Therefore "increased inventory levels" is not a benefit of the MRP".
