Answer 1

b. assigns jobs to work centers

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially an aggregate plan is prepared and then there is a master plan, accordingly with that master plan divided into smaller sections some short term schedules are prepared.

Under the short term scheduling the term loading is done which refers to assignment of jobs to work centers.

This provides for the segregation of duties and work in between different work centers as in which work center will perform which job.

The company jointly performs all activities in order to meet the aggregate plan, by performing duties of each work center properly the goal can be achieved.
