production requirements? - ANSWER short term
Which time horizon planning is necessary for the firm to provide the appropriate
mix of human resource capabilities, technology, and geographical locations to
meet the firm's future needs? - ANSWER long term
In which time horizon planning "customers" are provided information on
expected delivery times and communicating to suppliers the correct quantities
and delivery times for the material they supply. - ANSWER medium term
