Exam 13: Managing Production Across the Supply Chain

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

Using the information in the table,determine a schedule for these five jobs using the critical ratio sequence.

Consider the product structure tree shown below: -Company B has no inventory at any level.They will need 145 Es to make 12 units of end item X.

What are three advantages of using an MRP system?

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

MRP is NOT capable of:

Gross requirements in an MRP record can be met by inventory from previous weeks,scheduled receipts,or planned receipts.

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.

There are 200 units in inventory at the start of week 1.What are the net requirements in week 4 if there is a scheduled receipt of 100 units every other week and a two week production lead time?

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

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

Consider the product structure tree shown below: -With a beginning inventory of zero for all components and finished items,how many assembly As are needed to produce 25 product Xs?

Confirmed demand for products is called ________ in master scheduling.

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

A(n)________ is a record or graphical rendering that shows how all the subassemblies,intermediates,parts and raw materials are put together to make the Level 0 item.

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

With an inventory as shown in the table,how many assembly Es should be produced or purchased to produce 15 product Xs?

Throughout every MRP record,ending inventory is equal to the ending inventory from the previous period,plus the master production schedule quantity,minus the orders booked for that period.

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

The table shows a master schedule for end item Z that is produced according to the product structure tree shown below.Beginning inventories and lead times for components of Z are given in the table.The lot sizes for A,B,and C are 100 units.Complete a materials requirement plan for components A,B,and C.
