Which statements about EDI are true?

EDI stands for "Electronic Data Integration".

EDI itself is not an actual standard, the principle covers all standards for the structured exchange of electronic data.

The advantages of EDI include: the reduction of manual activities, the acceleration of the communication process and the avoidance of multiple entry of data.

Disadvantages of EDI are high acquisition costs and the time-consuming comparison of master data.

Which statements about the determination of gross and net demands in the context of demand planning are true?

Gross demands are demands for raw materials and parts that are required in total for the planning period and were derived using the BOM explosion.

The net demand describes the quantity of components and raw materials to be procured.

To calculate the gross demands, the net demands are reduced by the tertiary demands.

Net demands are demands for raw materials and parts that are required in total for the planning period and were derived using the BOM explosion.

Which of the following statements about mass customization are true?

A prerequisite for mass customization is a high number of units, so that economies of scale can be achieved.

Mass customization is used to attract customers by offering every possible option for a product.

Mass customization requires standardized service modules (or components) as a basis (modular principle).

Beginning with a standard product, introducing mass customization shifts the customer decoupling point to the left (towards suppliers).
