MRP Flashcards
MRP I - Material Requirements Planning (33 cards)
What is a pegging report?
A pegging report is similar to a where-used report. However, the pegging report shows only those parents for which there is an existing demand requirement, whereas the where-used report shows all parents for a component. The pegging report shows the parents creating the demand for the components, the quantities needed.
What is a Where-used report?
Where-used reports give the same information as bills of material, but the where-used report gives the parents for a component whereas the bill gives the components for a parent.
In a general context, what are the three levels of resource planning for the enterprise?
ERP - level 1;
MRP II - forecasting (resource)- capacity planning - level 2;
MRP (requirements) - level 3.
Q: Context: TYPES of Capacity – > Design Capacity
A: The maximum possible rate of output that can be acheived
Q: Context: TYPES of Capacity – > Effective Capacity
A: The rate of output the firm is capable of achieving, given preventative maintenance, set- up time, etc
Q: Context: TYPES of Capacity – > Actual Output
A: whatever rate of output is actually achieved
What is expanded for MRP II that separates it from MRP I?
MRP II (the successor to MRP I) includes MPS and Inventory, but adds functionality to forecast demand, manage capacity, boost quality and more.
What is Available to Promise (ATP) ?
Available to promise is that portion of a firm’s inventory and planned production that is not already committed and is available to the customer.
What are the three steps in making an MPS?
- Develop a preliminary MPS.
- Check the preliminary MPS against available capacity.
- Resolve differences between the preliminary MPS and capacity availability.
- What four functions does the master production schedule (MPS) perform in the production planning system?
- It forms the link between production planning and what manufacturing will actually build. From this perspective it forms the major link between customer demand and the production facility.
- It forms the basis for calculating the capacity and resources needed.
- It drives the MRP. As a schedule of items to be built, the MPS and BOM determine what components are needed from manufacturing and purchasing.
- It keeps priorities valid. The MPS is a priority plan for manufacturing.
- What functions does the MPS perform between sales and production?
What should be produced, and when, in what quantity, for promises.
- Does the MPS work with families of products or with individual items?
- individual items
4.a - Q: Where does the information come from to develop an MPS?
- The production plan—the aggregated production plan developed during the S&OP process.
- Forecasts for individual end items.
- Actual orders received from customers and for stock replenishment.
4.b. Q: what is SOP
A: Sales and Operation Planning.
- Q: What are the three steps in making an MPS?
- Develop a preliminary MPS.
- Check the preliminary MPS against available capacity.
- Resolve differences between the preliminary MPS and capacity availability.
- Q: What is the purpose of a rough-cut capacity plan?
A: Rough-cut capacity planning checks whether critical resources are available to support the preliminary master production schedules. Critical resources include bottleneck operations, labor, and critical materials (perhaps material that is scarce or has a long lead time).
- Q: Where is the resource bill used?
A: Resource requirements planning
* The resource bill, used in resource requirements planning, assumes a typical product in the family. Here (Context=rough cut cap plan) the resource bill is for a single product. As before, the only interest is in bottleneck work centers and critical resources.
- At what level should master production scheduling take place? a. In a make-to-stock environment? b. In a make-to-order environment? c. In an assemble-to-order environment?
inform your answers between b, a make-to-order environment, and c In an assemble-to-order environment. Determine the best answer via outline or declarative summary.
Supply Defined I. Describe two of the five components of supply that involve Purchase Orders
supply
- purchase orders that have not been issued
**purchase requisitions that will be converted to orders
Planned orders which will become future requisitions and orders
***Open purchase orders that have been issued to and accepted by a vendor
production orders required to fabricate an item.
Supply Define I. Describe two of the components of supply that DO NOT involve Purchase Orders. HINT: Planning
supply
purchase orders that have not been issued
purchase requisitions that will be converted to orders
**Planned orders which will become future requisitions and orders
Open purchase orders that have been issued to and accepted by a vendor
**production orders required to fabricste an item.
which of the following is NOT an element of Material Requirement Planning I?
a) supply b) Production Capacity c) Demand d) Inventory
The answer is (a) Production capacity, which is actually an element of MRP II.
Q: Which of the following are not Supply Elements in MRP?
a) Open Purchase Orders
b) Closed Purchase Orders
c) Planned Orders
d) Production Orders
The answer is (b) Closed Purchase Orders
What is MRP ?
a) Warehouse Management
b) A Set of computer programs that plan the purchase and/or manufacturing of products.
c) Inventory Management
(b) A set of computer programs that plan the purchase/and or manufacture of products.
Associate the following to demand or supply: DEMAND_TYPE: CO OP RQ
SUPPLY_TYPE:
CP
PO
WO
Supply (cp, po, wo)
- purchase orders that have not been issued
- purchase requisitions that will be converted to orders
- Planned orders which will become future requisitions and orders
- Open purchase orders that have been issued to and accepted by a vendor
- production orders required to fabricate an item
Demand (co, op, rq) =========== Customer Order Operational Demand (OP) Requisition
