SCM 310 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
LATEST VERSION 2025/2026.
Capacity definition - ANS maximum output of the system
rough cut capacity planning - ANS unconstrained planning in a perfect world
example of perfect world (RCCP) - ANS everyone comes to work, all machines are working, all
of the materials are perfect, etc.
problem with RCCP - ANS sometimes says that we can agree to an order and do it when you
can't because you don't actually have that capacity
utilization formula - ANS output/capacity
or
hours worked/hours available

, what do textbooks say about utilization? - ANS the closer you are to 100% the better... this is
NOT true because your % should match the consumption/sales rate
efficiency - ANS measure that looks at output against the standard
efficiency can't be 100%, but... - ANS can be greater than 100% (ex. person that has done it
for a while and knows all the shortcuts)
theory of constraints says... - ANS every system has a bottleneck or constraint
TOC says the capacity of the system = - ANS capacity at the constraint
example of a constraint - ANS how many people can fit in a room according to the fire
marshal or how many people can fit in a car (solution: increase constraint by adding more
doors)
utilization % vs. efficiency % - ANS utilization = never can over 100%
efficiency = can have greater than 100%
distribution centers vs. warehouses - ANS DC: get product in and out quickly
warehouse: stores for longer periods of time
examples of DC/warehouses in history - ANS -prehistoric man keeping stock of having food
throughout the winter
-joseph in egypt ran the warehouses
-grain warehouses in israel
-alexander the great (JIT)
