Exam 12: Managing Production Across the Supply Chain

Given the forecast and booked orders shown in the table,and a beginning inventory of 120,what is the ATP for period 4? The company operates with a lot size of 144.

There are 50 units in inventory at the start of week 1 for this company,which runs a lot-for-lot MRP system.There is a one week lead time for all shipping and production quantities regardless of volume.What are the quantities of the planned order releases for this item for the first six weeks?

Cow Company used the master schedule to determine how many workers and the number of machine hours would be needed for each production period.This approach is known as ________.

Since the booked orders figure represents actual customer demand in a master schedule,that value is always less than or equal to forecasted demand.

Consider the product structure tree shown below: With a beginning inventory of zero for all components and finished items,how many assembly E's are needed to produce 20 product X's?

Determine a schedule for these jobs using the critical ratio criterion and calculate the average lateness.Then develop an earliest due date sequence and calculate average lateness.

Which of these actions would tend to make an MRP system less nervous?

The planned orders entries for members of a DRP system are rolled up into the entry labeled ________ in the distribution requirements planning system.

MRP is NOT capable of:

Consider the product structure tree shown below: With a beginning inventory of ten 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 assembly E's are needed to produce 20 product X's?

Material requirements planning is used to manage independent demand inventory.

For a given job,the amount of processing time remaining divided by the amount of time until the job is due is its ________.

________ translates the master schedule for final products into detailed requirements.

What is the average lateness of these seven jobs if they are scheduled using the earliest due date criterion?

The estimated inventory level of an end item at the end of each planning period,whether the period is a week or a month is the ________.

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 36,and the claws,which come by the gross.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's the planned order release for leg assemblies in week 3?

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 of each component on level three are needed to produce 25 product X's?

A time-phased planning approach that uses planned orders at the point of demand to determine forecasted demand at the source level is:

MRP nervousness refers to the notion that a small change at the top of a bill of material can have drastic effects on items farther down the bill of material.

Available to promise inventory is always zero for the first week in the master production schedule.
