Question 1

_____ lists the key resources needed to make a unit of a selected item.

Accepted Answer

BOR (Bill of Resources) lists the key resources needed to make a unit of a selected item.

Question 2

What is a thorough,time-demanding method of updating the MRP information system?

Accepted Answer

Regeneration MRP is a thorough and time-demanding method of updating the MRP information system. It involves recomputing the entire MRP system using the latest data, which can be time-consuming but ensures accurate and reliable updates. The other options (net change MRP calculation, capacity requirements planning, and rough-cut capacity calculation) are also MRP methods, but they are not as comprehensive or time-consuming as regeneration MRP.

Question 3

_____ is the function of establishing,measuring,and adjusting limits or levels of capacity.Also,it is the process of determining how much labor and machine resources are required to accomplish the tasks of production.

Accepted Answer

CRP (Capacity Requirements Planning) is the process of establishing, measuring, and adjusting limits or levels of capacity, and determining how much labor and machine resources are required to accomplish production tasks.

Question 4

One of the worst systemic problems that MRP faces is

Accepted Answer

Both sudden cancellation of sales and last-minute changes in order sizes are major systemic problems that MRP faces. Sudden cancellations can disrupt the entire system and affect production planning, inventory control, and scheduling. Last-minute changes in order sizes can cause production delays, excess inventory, and waste. These two problems can also impact the accuracy of MRP data, making it harder to achieve the system's objectives. Lack of commitment by management and lack of computer time could be issues, but they are not as significant as the other two mentioned above.

Question 5

_____ is the essence of supply chain management.

Accepted Answer

Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) is the essence of supply chain management as it focuses on the planning and control of inventory and distribution in the supply chain.

Question 6

In a _____ model the idea is to decrease the number of orders to minimize inventory costs.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In a _____ model the idea is...

Question 7

What information system would require current data for the following items: stock on-hand levels,suppliers' prices,and delivery lead times?

Accepted Answer

The inventory record files would require current data on stock on-hand levels, suppliers' prices, and delivery lead times in order to effectively manage and track inventory levels and make informed purchasing decisions.

Question 8

Closed-loop MRP consists of

Accepted Answer

Closed-loop MRP involves an integrated planning process that includes production planning, master production scheduling, and capacity requirements planning. Therefore, all of the above options are necessary components of closed-loop MRP.

Question 9

MRP record processing proceeds from one level code to the next,starting at level code

Accepted Answer

MRP (Material Requirements Planning) record processing starts at level code 0, which typically represents finished goods or end items, and then proceeds to the components and raw materials required to produce these items, which are assigned higher level codes.

Question 10

MRP cannot be used without the appropriate set of

Accepted Answer

MRP (Material Requirement Planning) requires a set of BOMs (Bill of Materials) to calculate and plan the materials needed for production based on the production schedule. BOMs list all the components that go into manufacturing a finished product. Without BOMs, MRP cannot determine the raw material requirements for production, making them essential for MRP to function. MTS (Make to Stock), MTO (Make to Order), and ATO (Assemble to Order) are manufacturing strategies that determine how products are made and do not impact the need for BOMs in MRP.

Question 11

The matrix _____ is a special chart for analyzing families of similar products.It arranges parts in columns and parent products in rows.The matrix characterizes modular product design goals.

Accepted Answer

BOM stands for Bill of Materials, which is a special chart for analyzing families of similar products. It arranges parts in columns and parent products in rows. The BOM helps to characterize modular product design goals and is commonly used in manufacturing industries. ATO (Assemble-to-Order), MTS (Make-to-Stock), and MTO (Make-to-Order) are other manufacturing strategies and are not directly related to the BOM matrix.

Question 12

The first step in the planning hierarchy is _____ planning.

Accepted Answer

The first step in the planning hierarchy is capacity planning, which determines the overall production capacity of the organization.

Question 13

DRP1 can be defined as

Accepted Answer

DRP1 (Distribution Resource Planning) involves determining the needs to replenish inventory at branch warehouses (a) and using replenishment calculations based on whichever ordering system is most effective (b). Therefore, both option a and b are correct, making option D the best choice.

Question 14

In a _____ environment,there is some latitude concerning what is to be done and when it is scheduled.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In a _____ environment,there is some latitude...

Question 15

_____ is a higher order planning system than _____.This higher order distribution requirements planning system examines resource availability such as storage space in warehouses,trucking capacity,railroad boxcar availabilities,distribution workforce commitments,and training.It also treats cash flow needed to keep the distribution system performing successfully.

Accepted Answer

DRP2 is a higher order planning system than DRP. DRP2 examines resource availability such as storage space in warehouses, trucking capacity, railroad boxcar availabilities, distribution workforce commitments, and training. It also treats cash flow needed to keep the distribution system performing successfully. MRP and MRP2 are planning systems for materials management and production planning.

Question 16

_____ uses the principle that the lowest position of a part should determine where that part is located for computer scanning.

Accepted Answer

Low-level coding, also known as machine-level coding or assembly language, uses the principle of absolute positional values for memory locations. This means that the lowest position of a part determines its exact location in computer memory. This is crucial for computer scanning and organization of data. High-level coding, on the other hand, uses more abstract and human-readable code that needs to be translated into machine code before the computer can execute it. Coding and zero-level coding are not commonly used terms in computer programming.

Question 17

_____ are the starting point for actual use of MRP,and the varieties are consequently instructive.

Accepted Answer

Bills of Materials (BOMs) are the starting point for actual use of MRP. They list all the components or raw materials needed to produce a finished product. The other options (MTS, MTO, and ATO) refer to different manufacturing strategies that may or may not be used in conjunction with MRP.

Question 18

_____ is among the simplest ordering methods,but it places more orders than other methods.These other methods compensate for fewer orders with larger order quantities.

Accepted Answer

Lot-for-lot sizing is known to be the simplest method of ordering, where the order quantity is exactly equal to the net requirements. This method places more orders than other methods, but it compensates for the smaller order quantities. MRP, Net change MRP, and Part-period ordering are all methods that used for ensuring the right amount of stock is available for production, but they have their own unique algorithms for calculating orders. Therefore, the best choice for the given question is C) Lot-for-lot sizing.

Question 19

Gross requirements less the projected stock-on-hand,at time t,are called the

Accepted Answer

Net requirements are the gross requirements less the projected stock-on-hand at a given time. This calculation helps to determine the exact amount of material or product that needs to be ordered or produced to fulfill customer demand.

Question 20

For the example in the text (see Table 15-4),when the master production schedule calls for various output amounts of _____ and _____ DVR models,the MRP must combine the demands of commonly shared parts.

Accepted Answer

The answer of For the example in the text (see...
