Question 1

The process of exploding the BOM results in a master production schedule.

Accepted Answer

Exploding the BOM (Bill of Materials) helps in determining the raw materials and components needed to produce an item, not in creating a master production schedule. The master production schedule is developed based on demand forecasts and production capacity, not directly from the BOM explosion.

Question 2

The material,labor,and machine requirements for each job are reflected in a manufacturing order.

Accepted Answer

Manufacturing orders contain information on the material, labor and machine requirements for each job, including raw materials, tools, equipment, and skilled workers needed for the production process.

Question 3

The final move ticket data marks the end of the conversion process and the movement of goods to the finished goods warehouse.

Accepted Answer

The final move ticket data indicates the completion of the manufacturing process and the transfer of the finished goods to the warehouse where they will be stored until they are shipped to customers.

Question 4

Available to promise planning is the accumulation of data on current inventories,sales commitments,planned production and excess production capacity or other planned production capacity that could be quickly converted to production of the desired finished goods necessary to fulfill a sales order request.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Available to promise planning is the accumulation...

Question 5

Capable to promise planning is the accumulation of the data on current inventories,sales commitments,and planned production to determine whether the production of finished goods will be sufficient to commit to additional sales orders.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Capable to promise planning is the accumulation...

Question 6

Which of the following is not one of the key characteristics of companies that are successful at managing the pressures resulting from global complexity according to the Deloitte Touche report?

Accepted Answer

Pursuit of new lucrative marketing channels is not mentioned as one of the key characteristics of companies that are successful at managing the pressures resulting from global complexity according to the Deloitte Touche report. Improved internal business processes, better use of technology, and better general capabilities are mentioned as key characteristics.

Question 7

Which of the following is not one of the key drivers of manufacturing competitiveness in a global market defined by uncertainty,change and complexity according to the Deloitte Touche survey?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is not one...

Question 8

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)is the application of computer and communications technology to improve productivity by linking computer numerical control (CNC)machines,monitoring production,and providing automatic feedback to control operations.

Accepted Answer

CAM involves the use of computer technology to improve manufacturing processes through CNC machines, production monitoring, and automated feedback control.

Question 9

Designing ground-breaking products and getting them to market quickly is an example of:

Accepted Answer

Designing ground-breaking products and getting them to market quickly is an example of product innovation, which is the process of bringing new or improved products to market. Production process innovation refers to improving how products are made, while supply chain management involves managing the flow of goods and services from suppliers to customers. Management accounting systems focus on financial reporting and budgeting within an organization.

Question 10

Which of the following is impacted by flexible costing systems,activity-based costing,shift in cost structure from variable to fixed costs,and reduced direct labor cost component in manufacturing?

Accepted Answer

Flexible costing systems, activity-based costing, shift in cost structure from variable to fixed costs, and reduced direct labor cost component in manufacturing are all factors that affect management accounting systems. These changes impact the way managers allocate costs to products and services, which in turn affects decisions related to pricing, production, and efficiency.

Question 11

Variance analysis is the process of comparing actual information about input costs and usage to standards.

Accepted Answer

Variance analysis involves comparing actual costs and usage to predetermined standards in order to identify areas of improvement or inefficiencies in the production process.

Question 12

Computer-aided process planning (CAPP)is an automated decision support system that generates manufacturing operations instructions and routings based on information about machining requirements and machine capabilities.

Accepted Answer

Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is an automated decision support system that generates manufacturing operations instructions and routings based on information about machining requirements and machine capabilities.

Question 13

The process of exploding the BOM involves extending a BOM to determine the total of each component required to manufacture a given quantity of an upper-level assembly or subassembly.

Accepted Answer

Exploding the BOM means breaking down a higher-level assembly into its individual components and determining how many of each component are required to build the final product. This involves extending the BOM to calculate the total quantity of each component needed.

Question 14

An automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS)is a computer-based cart system capable of delivering parts and tools among multiple work centers.

Accepted Answer

The answer of An automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS)is...

Question 15

A bill of material contains the standard material quantities that are required to produce one unit of end product.

Accepted Answer

A bill of material lists the raw materials, components, and sub-assemblies needed to manufacture a final product, along with the quantities required for each. It is used to calculate the cost of production and ensure that all necessary materials are available when needed.

Question 16

Which of the following has included management of throughput time and pull manufacturing?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following has included management...

Question 17

The shop floor control process is devoted to monitoring and recording the status of manufacturing orders as they proceed through the factory.

Accepted Answer

The statement accurately describes the purpose of shop floor control process.

Question 18

A step master shows the necessary steps and the time to complete each operation to produce a product.

Accepted Answer

A step master typically refers to a type of exercise equipment, not a guide showing steps and time for product production. The term you might be looking for related to production steps and timing is a "process chart" or "workflow diagram."

Question 19

An automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS)is a computer-controlled machine that stores and retrieves parts and tools.

Accepted Answer

An AS/RS is designed to store and retrieve items with computer control.

Question 20

JIT is often called a kanban process.

Accepted Answer

JIT (Just In Time) is a lean manufacturing approach that focuses on producing goods only when they are needed and in the exact quantity required. The term "kanban" refers to a visual system used in JIT to signal the need for production and inventory replenishment. Therefore, JIT is often referred to as a kanban process.
