Q

What is the yellow zone of a time fence?

A

Slushy (Somewhat firm)

- Medium cost of change

22
Q

What is the green zone of a time fence?

A

Liquid (Open)

- Low cost of change

23
Q

Forecast and customer orders projected on hand calculation industrial pumps

A

MPS

24
Q

A computer based information system that translates master schedule requirements for end items into time-phased requirements for subassemblies, components, and raw materials

A

Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

25
Q

What are three questions at the component or subassembly levels?

A

1) What is needed?
2) How much is needed?
3) When is it needed?

26
Q

Demand for items that are subassemblies or components parts to be used in the production of finished goods

A

Dependent demand

27
Q
  • Large quantities are used at specific times with little or no usage at other times
  • tends to be sporadic and lumpy
A

Dependent demand

28
Q

True or false: The master schedule should cover a period that is at least equivalent to the longest cumulative lead time

A

True

29
Q

The sum of the lead times that sequential phases of a process require, from ordering parts to completion of assembly

A

Cumulative lead time

30
Q

True or false: MRP looks at cumulative lead time in order to determine order start dates

A

False: They look at it backwards

31
Q

Listing of all of the assemblies, subassemblies, parts, and raw materials needed to produce one unit of a product

A

Bill of Materials (BOM)

32
Q

A visual depiction of the requirements in a bill of materials, where all components are listed by levels

A

Product structure tree

33
Q

Information on the status of each item by time period

A

Time buckets

34
Q

True or false: MRP processing takes the end item requirements specified by the master schedule and “explodes” them into time-phased requirements for assemblies, parts, & raw materials offset by lead times

A

True

35
Q

Total expected demand (from MPS)

A

Gross requirements

36
Q
