Exam 12: Managing Production Across the Supply Chain

The longer the production and supplier lead times,the ________ the MRP record's ________ should be.

Company B has no inventory at any level and a structure tree as shown below.They will need 145 E's to make 12 units of end item X.

There are six jobs that are awaiting processing at a machining center.The jobs are shown in the table with their processing time and scheduled completion time.Schedule the jobs by earliest due date,shortest processing time and the critical ratio rule and calculate average lateness for all the jobs.Which scheduling technique performs BEST?

Calculate the average lateness using the earliest due date criterion to determine the schedule for these five jobs.

What organizational disciplines are required in order for an organization to successfully run a material requirements planning system?

There is no beginning inventory.What are the net requirements in week 4 if there is a scheduled receipt of 100 units each week and a two week production lead time?

Consider the product structure tree shown below: With a beginning inventory of fifteen for all components on level one,twenty for all components on level two,and zero for all components on level three and finished items,how many of each component on level three are needed to produce 20 product X's?

Given the forecast and booked orders shown in the table,and a beginning inventory of 0,what is the available to promise inventory for period 3? There are no LOT quantity constraints.

The longer the production and supplier lead times,the longer the master scheduling record's planning horizon needs to be.

The planning technique that uses the master production schedule to monitor key resource requirements is:

Consider the product structure tree shown below: With a beginning inventory of twenty for all components on level one,five for all components on level two,and zero for all components on level three and finished items,how many K's are needed to produce 25 product X's?

An MRP system cannot answer the question:

Describe the scope,inputs,and outputs of sales and operations planning,master scheduling,and MRP.

Given the forecast and booked orders shown in the table,and a beginning inventory of 120,complete this master production schedule.The company operates with a lot size of 144.

What are three advantages of using an MRP system?

A mechanical cat is made of two front leg assemblies,a body assembly,one tail,one head assembly,and two back leg assemblies.Each head assembly has two eyes,one nose,one mouth,and 24 whiskers.Each back leg assembly has one foot,five claws,one each fibula,tibia,and femur.The cat production company runs a lot for lot system on everything except the legs,which they order in cases of 50,and the claws,which come in boxes of 60.Lead time for assembly and shipping is shown in the table.Use the master production schedule for mechanical cats to complete the MRP record.What are the net requirements for claws in week 3?

The process of ________ occurs when a planner works backwards from the master production schedule and the product structure tree to determine when all parts and subassemblies must be ordered and assembled in order to meet MPS due dates.

With an inventory as shown in the table,how many assembly E's should be produced or purchased to produce 15 product X's with this product structure tree?

In distribution requirements planning the MRP records do not use the term gross requirements; instead the amount is shown as:

A mechanical cat is made of two front leg assemblies,a body assembly,one tail,one head assembly,and two back leg assemblies.Each head assembly has two eyes,one nose,one mouth,and 24 whiskers.Each back leg assembly has one foot,five claws,one each fibula,tibia,and femur.The cat production company runs a lot for lot system on everything except the heads,which they order in cases of 250,and the whiskers,which come in boxes of 800.Lead time for assembly and shipping is shown in the table.Use the master production schedule for mechanical cats to complete the MRP record.What are the net requirements for whiskers in week 2?
