Question 1

Which of the following uses of MRP in promoting a healthy environment is NOT used?

Accepted Answer

The MRP system cannot be used to communicate directly with the International Organization for Standardization to file ISO 9000 documentation. This is not a feature or use of the MRP system in promoting a healthy environment. Instead, MRP is mainly used to track and manage production processes and materials to optimize efficiency and minimize waste.

Question 4

A computer-generated memo used by inventory planners to make decisions about releasing new orders and adjusting due dates of scheduled receipts is a(n):

Accepted Answer

A memo used by inventory planners to make decisions about releasing new orders and adjusting due dates of scheduled receipts is an action notice. An enterprise report is a broader report that covers a wider range of information across the entire enterprise. Infinite capacity refers to a hypothetical situation in which resources are unlimited, which is not relevant to this scenario. Input-output reports are used to track the flow of data into and out of a system and are not directly related to inventory planning decisions.

Question 5

A(n )________ item has one or more parents but no components.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A(n )________ item has one or more...

Question 6

Which best defines the gross requirements for a component item?

Accepted Answer

The gross requirements for a component item are defined as the total demand for that component derived from all immediate parents (the products in which the component is used). This encompasses all the demand placed on the component by the production of its parent items, not just the forecasted customer demand or safety stock levels.

Question 10

A technique used for projecting time-phased capacity requirements for workstations is called:

Accepted Answer

Capacity requirements planning is a technique used to project time-phased capacity requirements for workstations. It helps in determining the resources needed to meet the planned production levels by analyzing the capacity of workstations and identifying bottlenecks in the production process. Time-adjusted output control, input-output control, and work center planning are other techniques used in production planning and control but are not specifically related to projecting capacity requirements for workstations.

Question 12

Scenario 11.2   Inventory amounts indicated in the table are available to produce the end item indicated in this bill of materials.
-Use Scenario 11.2 to answer this question.In order to keep their suppliers happy,the company assembling the end item wants to make sure they build enough product to order at least one of each of the components on the lowest level of the BOM.What number of end items will make that happen?

Accepted Answer

The lowest level components are A, B, C, D and E. The available inventory of each component is as follows:
- A: 13 units
- B: 15 units
- C: 14 units
- D: 17 units
- E: 16 units

To ensure that at least one of each component is used in the end item, we need to find the common factor of the inventory amounts. The common factor is 1, which means we need to produce at least 13 end items to use up all the components at the lowest level. The other components at higher levels will also be consumed in the process.

Therefore, the answer is C) 13 end items.

Question 13

Scenario 11.3
Use this bill of materials and inventory records to answer the questions.  
-Use Scenario 11.3 to answer this question.How many units of E are required to produce 33 end items?

Accepted Answer

33 end items x 34 units of E = 1122 units of E

Question 14

Accepted Answer

The answer of The ________ is a record of all...

Question 15

Which of the following is NOT used to derive an item's gross requirements?

Accepted Answer

The MPS components that are not purchased items are not used to derive an item's gross requirements because gross requirements are typically derived from the MPS for end items, planned order releases, and other external demands.

Question 16

________ is the degree to which a component has more than one immediate parent.
