Question: Describe how the MPS record is used with the resource bill to calculate the rough cut capacity plan (RCCP) and why is the RCCP needed

Describe how the MPS record is used with the resource bill to calculate the rough cut capacity plan (RCCP) and why is the RCCP needed by the Master Production Scheduler Group of answer choices A: The quantity for a finished part identified in the MPS record is multiplied by the resource(s) needed from the resource bill per part, one resource at a time. Those resource requirements are added to the same category of resources needed for other parts in a period and that total capacity required is compared with the max capacity available in that workcenter for that time period. B: The quantity for a finished part identified in the MPS record is multiplied by the Setup Time in the resource bill per part to calculate the amount of time necessary for changeovers. This number is compared with a budgeted number of setup minutes (hours, etc.) allowed per day (week, etc.) and a percentage is calculated. C: The resource bill only has items that are considered plentiful and thus RCCP attempts to calculate how much extra capacity is available for more product so that leadership can properly "load" the Master Production Schedule.
