16
Q

50 Master scheduling:The MPS and delivery promises; The ATP is calculated by adding

A

Scheduled receipt to the beginning inventory and subtracting actual orders

17
Q

52 Master scheduling:Production planning, master scheduling, and sales; Projected available balance; The demand time fence

A

The demand time fence is the number of periods beginning with. One in which changes are not accepted due to excessive cost caused by schedule distribution

18
Q

52 Master scheduling:Production planning, master scheduling, and sales; Projected available balance; For periods Before the demand time fence the PAB is calculated as

A

Prior PERIOD PAB or on hand balance + the MPS - customer orders; This process ignores the forecast and assumes that the only effect will be from customer orders.

19
Q

52 Master scheduling:Production planning, master scheduling, and sales; Projected available balance; For periods AFTER the demand time fence the PAB is calculated Using

A

For periods after the demand time fence the PAB is calculated using the forecast or customer orders whichever is greater

PAB = prior. PAB + MPS - greater of customer orders or the forecast

20
Q

54 Master scheduling:Production planning, master scheduling, and sales; Projected available balance; What are the three time fences?

A
  1. Frozen zone
  2. Slushy zone
  3. Liquid zone
21
Q

54 Master scheduling:Production planning, master scheduling, and sales; Projected available balance; Frozen zone

A

In the frozen zone capacity and materials are committed to specific orders; changes would result in excessive costs

22
Q

53 Master scheduling:Production planning, master scheduling, and sales; Projected available balance; Slushy zone

A

In the slushy zone, capacity and materials are committed in a lesser extent in this area trade-offs can be negotiated between marketing and manufacturing
