CPIM Part 1, Module 3 - Plan Supply Flashcards
What are the five things that master scheduling has to accomplish?
- Produce what is agreed upon by sales and production
- Maintain customer service at targeted level
- Make most efficient use of resources
- Keep inventories / backlogs at desired level
- Enable valid order promises
How does the master schedule transform a general plan into a priority plan?
By assigning due dates and specific quantities of end items to be manufactured
What are the four steps of producing a master schedule?
- Disaggregate the production plan into preliminary master schedule end items
- Aggregate master schedules for all related end items
- Perform rough-cut-capacity planning
- Resolve the differences and publish the master production schedule
A workable preliminary master schedule satisfies five conditions, which are these?
- Valid schedule
- Valid capacity
- Valid inventory or backlog
- Valid changeovers
- Valid batches and lots
What are the three ways of performing rough-cut-capacity planning?
- Bill of labor
- Capacity planning using overall factors
- Resource profile approach
What is order entry?
The process of accepting and translating what a customer wants into terms used by the manufacturer or distributor
What is capable-to-promise?
The process of committing orders against available capacity as well as inventory
What are the two objectives of MRP?
- MRP systems need to determine material requirements precisely in terms of what, how much and when
- MRP systems are dynamic rather than static, have to adapt to changing priorities
What are the four inputs to MRP?
- Master production schedule
- Bills of materials
- Inventory records
- (Planning factors)
What is the outcome of MRP?
A time-phased priority plan. The plan proposes order release dates and corresponding order receipt dates for purchasing and production.
In what four departments / ways are BOMs used?
- Engineering: To create or modify boms
- Customer service and service department: To ensure right part is sent
- Finance: helps determine product usage
- MPC: uses BOMs to determine what to order or make
What is a planning bill of materials?
An artificial grouping of items or events in bill-of-material format used to facilitate master scheduling and material planning
What is capacity management?
The function of establishing, measuring and adjusted limits or levels of capacity in order to execute all manufacturing schedules
What is capacity planning?
The process of determining the amount of capacity required to produce in the future
What are the three steps of iterative capacity planning?
- Calculate capacity available
- Calculate the load per time bucket and determine differences between available and needed capacity
- Resolve differences
What are the five inputs to capacity requirements planning (CRP)?
- Planned order releases
- Open orders
- Routings
- Shop calendar
- Work center files (info on capacity and lead time)
What is the difference between internal and external setup time?
Internal setup time is done while the process or machine is NOT running
What is productivity?
An overall measure of the ability to produce a good or service. It is the actual output of production compared to actual input of resources
What are the three steps of calculating load?
- Calculate the operation time per work order
- Simulate order scheduling to determine the start and finish dates for each operation on each work center
- Establish load profiles
What are the four inputs to back scheduling?
- Quantity, due date, operation time per work order
- Operations sequence from routing
- Queue, wait and move times from work center file
- Work center rated or demonstrated capacity from work center file
What is a load profile?
A display of future capacity requirements based on released and/or planned orders over a given span of time
What is the final assembly schedule?
A schedule of end items to finish the product for a specific customer’s order in a make-to-order or assemble-to-order environment.
A shop order packet includes the shop order (manufacturing order). What is a manufacturing order?
A document, group of documents or schedule conveying authority for the manufacture of specified parts or products in specific quantities
