Question 1

Setup time,processing time,and interoperation time are elements of
A)In-house production time.
B)Goods issue processing time.
C)Planned delivery time.
D)Goods receipt processing time.
E)Planned shipping time.

Accepted Answer

Setup time, processing time, and interoperation time refer to the various stages involved in the in-house production process. These elements determine the overall time required to produce a product or service.

Question 2

Requirements that are calculated based on actual and forecasted sales are known as
A)Planned independent requirements.
B)Customer-planned independent requirements.
C)Integrated independent requirements.
D)Forecast-independent requirements.
E)Customer-independent requirements.

Accepted Answer

Planned independent requirements are calculated based on the actual and forecasted sales of a product. These requirements form the basis for production planning and material requirements planning processes. The other options do not accurately describe requirements calculated based on sales forecasts.

B)An interface for transferring data into SOP.
C)An interface used to enter all the operational plans.
D)A spreadsheet-like tool used to complete the tasks in SOP.

Question 8

Replenishment lead time is
A)The time between placing an order and receiving the materials.
B)The amount of time the routing operations will last.
C)The length of time a working center usually operates in hrs,in one day).
D)Another term for capacity.
E)A synonym for interoperation time.

Accepted Answer

Replenishment lead time is defined as the time between placing an order and receiving the materials. This means it is the time it takes for a supplier to receive the order, process it, and deliver the materials to the purchaser.

Question 9

Consider the following scenario,then choose which one of the options below corresponds to the level of CIRs and PIRs after consumption.Before consumption: Procurement proposal for CIRs: 50
Procurement proposal for PIRs: 50
A)CIRs: 50,PIRs: 0
B)CIRs: 50,PIRs: 50
C)CIRs: 0,PIRs: 0
D)CIRs: 0,PIRs: 50
E)CIRs: 100,PIRs: 100

Accepted Answer

There is no information given about any consumption or replenishment of CIRs or PIRs, therefore the levels after consumption would remain the same as the procurement proposal. In this case, we only have a procurement proposal for CIRs, so the level of PIRs would be 0. Thus, the answer is A, where CIRs would be 50 and PIRs would be 0.

Question 10

The MRP technique calculates the requirements for a material based on
A)Historical data.
B)Current data.
C)The material's dependence on other materials.
D)Material type.
E)Replenishment lead time.

Accepted Answer

The MRP (Material Requirements Planning) technique calculates the requirements for a material based on its dependence on other materials, considering the bill of materials and production schedules.

Question 11

The lot size key specifies the
A)Optimum lot size for a group of materials.
B)Recommended lot size for a material.
C)Procedure used to determine the capacity of a storage area.
D)Lot size groups per each material type.
E)Procedure that is used to determine the lot size.

Accepted Answer

The lot size key is a parameter in material planning and inventory management systems that specifies the procedure used to calculate or determine the lot size for ordering or producing materials. This procedure can involve various methods such as fixed lot size, reorder point, or periodic order quantity, among others.

Question 12

What does SOP stand for?
A)Sales and operations planning
B)Strategic operations planning
C)Sales operations planner
D)Systems operations products
E)Sales operations projects

Accepted Answer

SOP stands for Sales and Operations Planning.

Question 13

The manner in which CIRs consume PIRs is determined by the
A)Consumption type.
B)Consumption mode.
C)Consumption strategy.
D)Planning strategy.
E)Planning type.

Accepted Answer

CIRs (Committed Information Rates) and PIRs (Peak Information Rates) are terms used in Quality of Service (QoS) management in networking. The consumption mode determines how the CIR and PIR bandwidths are used by network traffic. It defines the method and pace at which a user or application can consume (or use) the bandwidth allocated to them. The consumption mode can be one of the following: Constant bit rate (CBR), Variable bit rate (VBR), or Available bit rate (ABR). Therefore, the consumption mode dictates the manner in which CIRs consume PIRs.

Question 14

In SAP ERP production planning strategy,net requirements planning Strategy 10),procurement proposals are based on
A)CIRs and components that are already in stock.
B)PIRs,with regard to CIRs.
C)PIRs,without regard to CIRs.
D)CIRs,but components are not in stock.
E)PIRs,but the components are not in stock.

Accepted Answer

Net Requirements Planning (Strategy 10) in SAP ERP production planning generates procurement proposals based on Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) without considering Current Inventory Records (CIRs). This strategy focuses on planning the production or procurement quantities based on the forecasted demand represented by PIRs, without taking current stock levels into account.

Question 15

After the SOP process has generated the production plan,
A)SOP executes the plan.
B)The plan is conveyed to MRP for execution.
C)The plan is transferred to demand management.
D)SOP uses the plan to generate execution plan.
E)The plan is saved as a production version.

Accepted Answer

After the SOP (Sales and Operations Planning) process generates the production plan, it is transferred to demand management for further processing and integration into the detailed planning stages.

Question 16

Which of the following statements best represents what procurement type indicates?
A)How a material is produced
B)Vendor's groups
C)All of the ways to procure a material the user will choose from when making a decision
D)Whether a material is produced in house,obtained externally,both,or none
E)How a vendor will be chosen in the procurement process

Accepted Answer

Procurement type indicates whether a material is produced in house, obtained externally, both, or none. It helps in identifying the source from where a material will be procured. Options A and B do not accurately represent procurement type. Option C refers to the different ways to procure a material, but does not specifically relate to procurement type. Option E refers to the vendor selection process, which is a separate aspect of procurement.

Question 17

Which of the following statements about consumption-based planning is TRUE?
A)Planning is based on historical data.
B)Planning is based on exploding the BOM.
C)Dependent demand is derived from independent demand.
D)It is used for high-value materials
E)Planning is based on MPS.

Accepted Answer

Consumption-based planning relies on historical data to forecast inventory needs and plan production schedules. It does not involve exploding the bill of materials (BOM) or using the master production schedule (MPS) to determine demand. Dependent demand may be taken into account, but it is not necessarily derived solely from independent demand. The value of the materials is not relevant to the use of consumption-based planning.

Question 18

Exploding the BOM refers to
A)Creating the BOM hierarchy showing all the levels of the BOM.
B)Calculating and planning requirements for materials at all levels of the BOM.
C)Executing the BOM for materials at the top level of the BOM.
D)Choosing the planning strategy for the BOM.
E)Generating multiple BOMs for materials in the same material group.

Accepted Answer

Exploding the BOM refers to the process of calculating and planning requirements for materials at all levels of the BOM. This is a crucial step in production planning as it helps ensure that all necessary materials are available when needed for production. A, C, D, and E are not accurate descriptions of exploding the BOM.

Question 19

The static lot-sizing procedure
A)Combines the requirements from multiple time periods into one lot.
B)Specifies a fixed quantity based on fixed lot size.
C)Specifies a quantity that is fixed for a specific,limited time period.
D)Specifies a fixed quantity based on either fixed lot size or lot-for-lot.
E)Combines quantities for multiple time periods into several lots.

Accepted Answer

The static lot-sizing procedure specifies a fixed quantity based on either fixed lot size or lot-for-lot. This means that the lot size will always be the same for each production run, regardless of demand.

Question 20

A company would be most likely to apply consumption-based planning for which of the following products?
A)Car
B)Brake
C)Engine
D)Printer
E)Pen

Accepted Answer

Consumption-based planning is typically applied to products with predictable consumption patterns and relatively low value, making pens the most suitable choice among the options provided.
