Question 1

The MRP input that states which end items are to be produced,when they are needed,and what quantities are needed,is the
A)Bill of Materials.
B)Production Activity Report.
C)Master Production Schedule.
D)Inventory Status File.

Accepted Answer

The Master Production Schedule (MPS) is the MRP input that specifies which end items are to be produced, when they are needed, and in what quantities. It serves as a plan for the production and provides a schedule of finished goods to meet demand.

Question 2

The feasibility check of a Materials Requirement Plan (MRP)is
A)rough-cut capacity planning (RCCP).
B)the aggregate capacity plan.
C)the detailed capacity plan.
D)enterprise capacity plan.

Accepted Answer

The detailed capacity plan is used to check the feasibility of a Materials Requirement Plan (MRP) by ensuring that the necessary resources are available to meet the production schedule.

Question 3

The element of the MRP record which is the amount of an item required to satisfy gross requirements after taking scheduled receipts and projected inventory in account is called
A)gross requirements.
B)net requirements.
C)scheduled receipts.
D)planned order receipts.

Accepted Answer

Net requirements in MRP (Material Requirements Planning) are calculated by subtracting the projected inventory and scheduled receipts from the gross requirements. This figure represents the actual amount needed to be produced or ordered to meet demand.

Question 4

Which of the following is not an input for the Materials Requirements Plan (MRP)?
A)Bill of Materials
B)Production Activity Report
C)Master Production Schedule
D)Inventory Status File

Accepted Answer

The Production Activity Report is an output of the MRP process, not an input. The inputs include the Bill of Materials, Master Production Schedule, and Inventory Status File, which are used to calculate material requirements.

Question 11

An inventory management approach based on regularly scheduled counts of different classes of inventory is known as
A)Cycle Counting.
B)inventory status file.
C)Master Production Schedule.
D)Bill of Materials.

Accepted Answer

Question 12

The element of the MRP record which is the quantity required for an item at the end of each period to meet customer requirements is called
A)gross requirements.
B)net requirements.
C)scheduled receipts.
D)planned order receipts.

Accepted Answer

Gross requirements in an MRP record represent the total demand for an item, including the quantity needed to meet customer orders and demand from higher-level assemblies within a specific period.

Question 13

Large-scale capacity expansion with the expectation of high customer demand is called ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Large-scale capacity expansion with the expectation of...

Question 14

A data file that shows how a product is manufactured,including what components are used in the manufacture of the finished product with required quantities,is the
A)cycle count report.
B)inventory status file.
C)Master Production Schedule.
D)Bill of Materials.

Accepted Answer

The Bill of Materials (BOM) is a comprehensive list that outlines the components, parts, and materials required to manufacture a product, including the quantities of each needed to produce a finished product.

Question 15

The system that is used to manage the entire firm including the individual business functions like finance,production,human resources and accounting is called the master resource planning system.

Accepted Answer

The system used to manage the entire firm including individual business functions like finance, production, human resources, and accounting is called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, not master resource planning system.

Question 20

The element of the MRP record which is the quantity that has already been ordered and will be received at the beginning of the period is called
A)gross requirements.
B)net requirements.
C)scheduled receipts.
D)planned order receipts.

Accepted Answer

Scheduled receipts are the quantity of an item that has already been ordered and is expected to be received at the beginning of the period in question. This is a key element in Material Requirements Planning (MRP) records, as it helps in determining the net requirements for materials by accounting for what is already on its way to the facility.
