Exam 19: Master Scheduling and Rough-Cut Capacity Planning

Consider an MPS record. An MPS shipment amount is always set equal to the absolute value of the amount in the projected available row if that amount is negative.

Beginning Inventory + MPS Shipment - maximum of (forecast and customer orders)is called ________________________.

Consider the following partial ATP MPS record. Beginning inventory is 40 units. The firm uses a fixed order quantity of 70 units. What is the projected available amount in period 2? Period: 1 2 3 4 5 Forecast: 50 5 40 25 50 Customer Orders: 40 10 20 0 5 Projected Available: Available-to-promise: MPS:

What is the formula for calculating the ATP quantity at future replenishment periods?

Discuss how the MPS is evaluated in terms of cost.

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 B?

Which of the following is not part of the process for developing an MPS?

A negative number in the projected available row is ___________ a problem.

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 machine time requirement for department H next period?

Which of the following is not one of the rows in an MPS record?

In an MPS record, MPS shipments arrive at the beginning of the time period.

Engines Corp. builds two different types of motors. Model A has averaged 120,000 units annually, and Model B has average 230,000 units annually. The firm has historically used 80,000 direct labor hours and 210,000 hours of machine time per year to build Model A. Also, 250,000 annual direct labor hours have been allocated to Model B, along with 60,000 hours of annual machine time. Calculate the four relevant CPOPF planning factors.

Which of the following is not a direct input into the MRP system?

Discuss why a negative number in the available-to-promise row is always a problem.

What term refers to proven capacity calculated from actual performance data?

What is the formula for calculating the ATP quantity in the action bucket?

The Master Production Schedule is often stated in:

What is the formula for projected available in an MPS record?

The available-to-promise row in an extended MPS record shows how many committed units the company has available for delivery at a given time.

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 machine time requirement for department G next period?
