Exam 10: Production planning and control for remanufacturing

Core acquisition yield rate is the primary source of remanufacturing complexity.Among following uncertain factors, choose the ones that influence the yield rate in a significant manner. 1)Quality 2)Timing 3)Cost 4)Quantity

For the remanufacturing process, _________, the ____________________________ increases the source uncertainty influences.Choose the options that do not correctly fill in the blanks in the previous statement. 1)Detailed capacity planning/ difficulties in accumulating both new and used parts 2)Demand management/ difficulties in order promising 3)Sourcing systems/ risk of shortages from the vendor 4)Resource planning/ difficulties in the accurate forecasting of long-term core availability

The remanufacturing process can be described as the flow of cores.Please elaborate about this but do not go over a paragraph.

The following statements are descriptions of remanufacturing processes.Choose the statement or statements whose description is not correct. 1)Aggregate production planning (Determining the number of units to be produced in each major product line per period) 2)Detailed material planning (Determining the aggregate capacity to support the production plan) 3)Master production scheduling (Anticipated build schedule for manufacturing end products) 4)Sourcing systems (Providing detailed planning information for supplier scheduling)

The process of _________________ can be described as being a demand decision process which converts used parts into the assembly schedule needed to complete the part.
