SCMN 4770 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2025/2026
What is the simplest rough-cut capacity planning process called? - ANS CPOF (capacity
planning using overall factors)
what is the difference between "loading" and "finite" scheduling? - ANS the former set does
not consider any adjustment to plans because of planned capacity utilization
what is the concept that relates to scheduling based on the needs of a bottleneck? -
ANS theory of constraints
1. determine bottleneck work centers
2. look for quick solutions to eliminate bottlenecks
3. concentrate scheduling efforts on managing bottleneck resources
what are ways that capacity can be measured? - ANS labor hours, machine hours, physical
units, monetary units
when capacity does not match the plan, which of the following actions can be taken?
i. provide sufficient capacity
ii. change the material plan
iii. modify capacity calculations - ANS i. provide sufficient capacity

, ii. change the material plan
which of the following is an objective of capacity planning?
i. building excess capacity for possible future use
ii. estimating capacity requirements early enough to take action if necessary
iii. execution of the plan to avoid surprises - ANS ii. estimating capacity requirements early
enough to take action if necessary
iii. execution of the plan to avoid surprises
which capacity planning activities are considered long range planning? - ANS resource
planning and rough-cut capacity planning
which capacity planning activities are considered short-range planning? - ANS finite
scheduling and input/output analysis
resource planning is most closely linked to which manufacturing planning and control (MPC)
element? - ANS sales and operations planning (SOP)
Capacity requirements planning (CRP) is most closely linked to which manufacturing planning
and control (MPC) element? - ANS detailed material planning
Which capacity planning technique is based on accounting and/or historical data? -
ANS capacity planning using overall factors
The capacity planning using overall factors (CPOF) planning method is likely to function poorly in
a just-in-time (JIT) environment. - ANS true
