MB-330 Implement Master Planning Practice Question
Which TWO factors influence the replenishment calculation for an item using the 'Min/Max' coverage code? (Choose two)
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse Min/Max parameters with safety stock or reorder point calculations, selecting auxiliary inventory dimensions instead of the primary minimum and maximum threshold values.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Minimum inventory level.
Min/Max replenishment relies on comparing current inventory levels against defined thresholds. The Master Planning engine evaluates stock levels against the minimum requirement, triggering a replenishment order to reach the maximum level. Understanding these two factors is critical for maintaining optimal stock levels, as incorrect thresholds lead to stockouts or excessive carrying costs, both of which negatively impact the financial and operational health of the supply chain.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Minimum inventory level.
Why this is correct
The minimum inventory level acts as the trigger point for the Master Planning engine. When the calculated inventory falls below this quantity, the system identifies that a replenishment order is required to restore stock levels, ensuring the item remains available to meet customer demand and production requirements.
- ✓
Maximum inventory level.
Why this is correct
The maximum inventory level defines the target quantity for the replenishment order. Once the minimum threshold is triggered, the system calculates the difference between current inventory and the maximum level to generate a purchase or production order that brings the stock back to the desired operational ceiling.
- ✗
The demand forecast consumption rate.
Why it's wrong here
Demand forecast consumption relates to how actual orders reduce forecasted quantities. While important for planning, it is not a direct factor in the Min/Max replenishment logic, which is purely reactive to the current physical inventory balance relative to the static minimum and maximum values defined for the item.
- ✗
The previous quarter's sales volume.
Why it's wrong here
Historical sales volume is used for forecasting purposes but is not a functional parameter used in the Min/Max calculation logic. Master planning looks at current and projected stock balances, not historical data, when deciding whether to trigger a new order based on defined stock level thresholds.
- ✗
The vendor's average delivery performance.
Why it's wrong here
Vendor performance impacts lead time calculations and scheduling, but it does not influence the replenishment quantity itself in the Min/Max model. The quantity triggered is determined solely by the difference between current inventory and the specified maximum level, regardless of how quickly the vendor can deliver the goods.
