Q

In converting independent demand items into dependent demand item requirements,

A

MRP will specify how much product comes from existing inventory versus purchasing or production, when orders need to be placed based on lead time constraints and when product needs to be delivered to support subsequent operations.

18
Q

A

Forward scheduling

19
Q

________ is a manufacturing plan that forms the link between sales and production, but it is not a scheduling technique used to schedule shop orders.

A

Master scheduling

20
Q

_________ is not a scheduling technique used to schedule shop orders.

A

Detailed scheduling

21
Q

All except which of the following would best define dependent demand?

A. Demand derived from present demand
B. Demand dependent on demand for a higher level assembly
C. Demand that is calculated
D. Demand dependent on the forecast

A

D. Demand dependent on the forecast

22
Q

_______ is demand that is directly related to or derived from the bill-of-material structure for other items or end items. Such demands are therefore calculated and need not and should not be forecast.

A

Dependent demand

23
Q

A given inventory item may have

A

both dependent and independent demand at any given time. For example, a part may simultaneously be the component of an assembly and sold as a service part.

24
Q

__________ is calculated based on demand for higher level assemblies and demand derived from present demand.

A

Dependent demand.

B. Individual orders and work centers
C. Estimating work center loads
D. Detailed scheduling

A

A. Validating the capacity for the MPS.

26
Q

Validating the capacity for the MPS is handled through

A

rough-cut capacity planning (RCCP).
