OPMA CH. 9 T/F Part 1
A BOM file is often called a product structure file or product tree because it shows how a product is put together.
T
A master production schedule is an input to a material requirements planning (MRP) system.
T
A modular bill of materials is the term for an item that can be produced and stocked as a subassembly.
T
An input to the material requirements planning (MRP) system is an inventory records file.
T
Computing the quantity of each component that goes into a finished product can be done by expanding (or exploding) each item in a product structure file and summing at all levels.
T
In a net change MRP system requirements and schedules are updated whenever a transaction is processed that has an impact on the item.
T
MRP is a logical, easily understandable approach to the problem of determining the number of parts, components, and materials needed to produce each end item.
T
MRP is based on dependent demand.
T
MRP is most valuable where a number of products are made in batches using the same productive equipment.
T
MRP provides the schedule specifying when each part and component of an end item should be ordered or produced.
T
MRP stands for Material Requirements Planning.
T
Manufacturing firms maintain bill of materials (BOM) files, which are simply a sequencing of everything that goes into a final product.
T
Net change MRP systems are "activity" driven.
T
The deeper one looks into the product creation sequence, the more the requirements of dependent demand items tend to become more "lumpy."
T
The master production schedule states the number of items to be produced during specific time periods.
T
A modular bill of materials includes items with fractional options.
F
An input to the material requirements planning (MRP) system is an exception report.
F
An output of MRP is a bill of materials (BOM) file.
F
In a net change MRP system requirements and schedules are considered rigid and never updated.
F
MRP is least valuable in industries where a number of products are made in batches using the same productive equipment.
F
MRP stands for Manufacturing Requirements Planning.
F
The MRP program performs its analysis from the bottom up of the product structure trees, imploding requirements level by level.
F
The deeper one looks into the product creation sequence, the more the requirements of dependent demand items tend to smooth out and become even over time.
