SCMN 4770 Exam 3 Strickland Questions AND Correct Answers
A major tool in distribution requirements planning
(DRP) systems is: - ✔✔DRP records
A visual representation of the scheduling process can be
provided by: - ✔✔A Gantt chart
According to the theory of constraints (TOC), which of
these conditions is most desirable? - ✔✔100%
utilization of bottleneck work centers
According to the theory of constraints, bottleneck work
centers should be managed identically to
nonbottlenecks. - ✔✔False
Aggregating safety stock from several warehouses to a
single location should result in lower overall levels of
safety stock (assuming customer service goals are held
constant). - ✔✔True
,backward scheduling - ✔✔when jobs are scheduled as
late as possible
capacity measures - ✔✔labor hours, machine hours,
physical units, monetary units
Capacity requirements planning (CRP) can be used in
firms that do not utilize material requirements planning
(MRP). - ✔✔False
Capacity requirements planning (CRP) ignores current
finished goods and work-in-process inventory levels. -
✔✔False
Capacity requirements planning (CRP) is most closely
linked to which manufacturing planning and control
element (MPC)? - ✔✔Detailed Material Planning
critical ratio priority sequencing rule: - ✔✔time
remaining/work remaining. Work on job with lowest
ratio
, Customer purchases are generally part of dependent
demand: - ✔✔False
Distribution requirements planning (DRP) and MRP use
a consistent data format. - ✔✔True
DRP - ✔✔provides the basis for integrating supply chain
inventory information and physical distribution
activities with the manufacturing planning and control
system.
DRP allows - ✔✔carrying of safety stock at any location
in the system. More frequent replenishment reduces
safety stock.
DRP provides a link between: - ✔✔Internal and External
MPC systems
