Procurement Exam 2 QUIZZES

The objectives of material requirements planning are to:

- issue orders to purchasing and manufacturing - determine requirements - keep priorities current

The document that shows the component parts and the number of parts needed to make one of an assembly or subassembly is called:

a bill of material

Which of the following statements is best regarding the master production schedule?

- if it is poorly done we can expect past-due schedules and unreliable delivery promises - it is an agreed-upon plan between marketing and manufacturing - it is a plan for specific end items that manufacturing expects to make over some period in the future

The information needed to develop a master production schedule will be obtained from:

- inventory levels for individual end items - the forecast of individual end items - the production plan

The MPS:

- is an agreed-upon plan between production and marketing - works with individual end products - facilitates order promising

Which of the following is (are) elements in an MRP system?

- the ERP-Computer system - bills of material - inventory records

A product tree shows:

- the parts that go into making a product - the sequence in which parts go together - the subassemblies used in making the product

Which of the following is (are) true about time fences in a master production schedule system? I. Changes far out in the planning horizon can be made with little or no cost to manufacturing. II. In the "frozen zone," capacity and materials are committed to specific orders. III. Changes in the near future on the planning horizon are less costly to make than changes far out.

I and II only

The MPS is a vital link the production planning system because it: I. Keeps priorities valid. II.Forms the basis for determining the capacity needed. III. Is input to the material requirements plan. IV. Is input to the production plan.

I, II and III only

The functions of a master production schedule are to: I. Plan material components II. Plan capacity requirements III. Keep priorities valid

II and III only

Service parts experience which of the following types of demand?

Independent and Dependent

Which of the following is elapsed time from recognition of a need until the time that need is satisfied?

Lead Time

The MPS is constrained by: I. The availability of material. II. Available capacity. III. Inventory policies. IV. Production plan.

MPS is constrained by all of the options

_______ is a set of priority planning techniques for planning component items below the _________:

Material requirements planning; end item level

The portion of inventory or production not committed to customer orders is called:

available to promise

Which of the following is NOT an input to the master production schedule? customer orders final assembly schedule production plan sales forecast for items current inventory status

final assembly schedule

Which of the following are controlled by the materials planner?

firm planned orders

A set of priority planning techniques for planning component items below the end item level is called:

material requirements planning (MRP)

In material requirements planning the process of placing the exploded requirements in the proper time periods, based on the assembly lead times involved, is known as:

offsetting

1 / 1 pts A multi-level bill of material: I. Reflects the way the product will be manufactured. II. Is produced by the purchasing department. III. Is a parts list only and does not contain subassemblies.

only I is true

Which of the following are objectives of an MPS? I. Maintain the desired level of customer service. II. Keep the sales department happy. III. Make the best use of material, labor and equipment. IV. Maintain inventory investment as required.

only I, III and IV are objectives

The ability to relate the demand for an item shown on an MRP record back to the particular parent causing the demand is called:

pegging

Which of the following statements is best?

pegging reports show only the parents for which there are requirements

A bill of material whose purpose is to simplify forecasting, master production scheduling and material requirements planning is called:

planning bill

The time span for which the master schedule extends is called the:

planning horizon

The process of checking the MPS against available capacity is called:

rough - cut capacity planning

The final assembly schedule (FAS):

schedules customer orders as they are received based on components planned in the MPS

In an assemble-to-order company, at which level should master scheduling take place?

the component/subassembly level

If there are customer orders the projected available is based on:

the greater of forecast demand and customer orders

A major input to an MRP system is:

the master schedule

Given the following data, complete the table. There are 30 on hand. Order quantity is 60 units. Week 1 2 3 4 Forecast 20 30 50 20 Projected available Scheduled receipts

the projected available in week 4 is 30
