Exam 19: Master Scheduling and Rough-Cut Capacity Planning

Engines Corp. builds two different types of motors in three departments. Historically, department X uses 20%, department Y uses 50%, and department Z uses 30% of direct labor and machine time, respectively. In the next quarter, demand for Model A is expected to be 40,000 units, and demand for Model B is expected to be for 50,000 units. The CPOPF planning factors are: direct labor for Model A = 0.667 hrs./unit, machine time for Model A = 1.75 hrs./unit, direct labor for Model B = 1.087 hrs./unit, machine time for Model B = 0.261 hrs./unit. Calculate the amount of labor and machine time that will need to be allocated to each of the three departments next quarter.

Johnny Now, Inc. produces two different models of outhouses. Demand next period is expected to be 12,000 and 18,000 units for Models A and B, respectively. Model A has CPOPF planning factors of 0.75 and 0.60 for direct labor and machine time, respectively. Model B has CPOPF planning factors of 0.50 and 0.80 for direct labor and machine time, respectively. Historically department G uses 24% of the direct labor and machine time for these products, while department H uses the remaining 76%. What is the direct labor time requirement for department G next period?

The MPS is said to be ________________________ between the current time and the time needed for final assembly.

When Projected Available is negative, the Master Production Schedule must include ________________________.

CPOPF is the acronym for Capacity Planning (using)Overall Promising Factors.

In the "liquid" portion of the MPS, the master scheduler generally has the authority to approve what changes?

Motorsports, Inc. builds two different types of motors. Model A has averaged 20,000 units annually, and Model B has average 30,000 units annually. The firm has historically used 80,000 direct labor hours and 10,000 hours of machine time per year to build Model A. Also, 150,000 annual direct labor hours have been allocated to Model B, along with 60,000 hours of annual machine time. What is the CPOPF planning factor for direct labor for Model A?

Discuss the Master scheduler responsibility.

The projected available quantity row in an MPS record keeps track of how many units are available at the beginning of each time period.

In an MPS record, the forecast row shows the forecasted supply for the product.

What data are added to create an extended MPS record that allows the firm to compute available-to-promise units?

Discuss the master scheduler's objectives when developing the MPS.

Which of the following is not a correctly stated step of the CPOPF method?

A master production schedule incorporates production lead time.

A negative number in the available-to-promise row is ___________ a problem.

Motorsports, Inc. builds two different types of motors. Model A has averaged 20,000 units annually, and Model B has average 30,000 units annually. The firm has historically used 80,000 direct labor hours and 10,000 hours of machine time per year to build Model A. Also, 150,000 annual direct labor hours have been allocated to Model B, along with 60,000 hours of annual machine time. What is the CPOPF planning factor for machine time for Model A?

What establishes that point of time in the future inside of which changes to the MPS must be approved by a higher authority?

Consider the following partial MPS record. Beginning inventory is 70 units. The firm uses a fixed order quantity of 100 units. Fill out the last two rows of the table.

What establishes a point of time in the future inside of which changes must be made by the master scheduler, and changes outside of which can be changed by system logic?

In future periods, MPS Shipments - Customer orders between current and next scheduled MPS shipment is called ________________________.
