Answer:

C. determines when specific products will be made

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two methodologies used in Master Scheduling which are Forward and Backward Scheduling. Forward scheduling refers to establishing a start date and then allowing the manufacturing lead time to determine the completion date.

Backward Scheduling refers to establishing a completion date and then allowing the manufacturing lead time to determine the start date. There are really no advantages of one over the other so it comes down to how your scheduling system works and personal preference.
