OPSM 4820 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS COMPLETE WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS
/. For companies assembling end items from components produced in batch
manufacturing processes, ________ is central to the development of detailed plans for
part needs. - Answer-MRP
/.Facility with time-phased planning and the associated time-phased records is basic to
understanding many other aspects of the ________ system. - Answer-MPC
/.The _____ data make it possible to construct a time-phased requirement record for
any part number. The data can also be used as input to the detailed capacity planning
models. - Answer-MRP
/.An ______ system serves a central role in material planning and control. It translates
the overall plans for production into the detailed individual steps necessary to
accomplish those plans. It provides information for developing capacity plans, and it
links to the systems that actually get the production accomplished. - Answer-MRP
/.At the heart of the ____ system is a universal representation of the status and plans
for any single item (part number), whether raw material, component part, or finished
good. - Answer-MPC
/.The anticipated future usage of or demand for the item during each period. - Answer-
gross requirements
/.Existing replenishment orders for the item due in at the beginning of each period. -
Answer-scheduled receipts
/.The current and projected inventory status for the item at the end of each period. -
Answer-projected available balance
/.Planned replenishment orders for the item at the beginning of each period. - Answer-
planned order releases
/._________ is the process of translating product requirements into component part
requirements, taking existing inventories and scheduled receipts into account. - Answer-
Explosion
/.The remaining planned order releases for the top handle assembly exactly meet the
net requirements in the remaining periods, offset for the lead time. The ordering policy
used for these items is called _____________ . - Answer-lot-for-lot sizing
, /.Processing all of the records in one computer run is called ____________ . This
signifies that all part number records are completely reconstructed each time the
records are processed. - Answer-regeneration
/.A logical response to the pressure for more frequent processing is to reduce the
required amount of calculation by processing only the records affected by the changes.
An alternative to ____________ is the net change approach. With net change, only
those items that are affected by the new or changed information are reprocessed. -
Answer-regeneration
/.__________ system specifies the exact release and due dates for each requirement,
scheduled receipt, and planned order. - Answer-A bucketless MRP
/.___________ is a buffer of stock above and beyond that needed to satisfy the gross
requirements. - Answer-Safety stock
/.__________ tends to be used in MRP systems where uncertainty about quantities is
the problem (e.g., where some small amount of scrap, spare part demand, or other
unplanned usage is a frequent occurrence). - Answer-Safety stock
/.____________ tends to be used when the major uncertainty is the timing rather than
the quantity. - Answer-Safety lead time
/._________ all the gross requirements for a part to all the planned order releases or
other sources of demand that created the requirements. - Answer-Pegging relates
/.____________ demand must be included in the MRP record if the material
requirements are not to be understated. The ____________ demand is typically based
on a forecast and is added directly into the gross requirements for the part. - Answer-
Service part
/.The persons most directly involved with the MRP system outputs are __________ . -
Answer-planners
/.___________ is the process of releasing orders to the shop or to vendors (purchase
orders). This process is prompted by MRP when a planned order release is in the
current time period, - Answer-Order launching
/._______________ involves an availability check for the necessary component or
components. - Answer-allocation
/.After availability checking and allocation, _____________ are typically created and
sent to the stockroom. The ______________ calls for a specified amount of some part
number to be removed from some inventory location, on some shop order, to be
delivered to a particular department or location. - Answer-picking tickets
