Answer: C

Explanation:

Planning strategy 40 (Planning with final assembly) is a make-to-stock strategy that uses planned independent requirements to trigger the procurement and production of the necessary assemblies and components before receipt of the sales orders. As soon as the sales order is received, it consumes the planned independent requirements and adjusts the master plan to suit the current requirements situation. This means that the important feature of this planning strategy is that you can react quickly to customers’ requirements. The consumption of planned independent requirements can take place when you create a sales order, as well as when you change or delete a sales order.
