resource planning is the most closely linked to which manufacturing planning and control (MPC)
element - Correct Answer:SOP

and control MPC element - Correct Answer:detail marketing planning
which capacity planning technique is based on accounting and/or historical data?
a. capacity planning using overall factors
b. capacity bills
c. resource profiles
d. capacity requirements planning - Correct Answer:a. capacity planning using overall factors
the capacity planning using overall factors (CPOF) planning method is likely to function poorly
in a just-in-time (JIT) environment - Correct Answer:false
T/F
The capacity bill planning technique provides more direct linkages to end products than does the
capacity planning using overall factors (CPOF) planning method. - Correct Answer:true
, Under what conditions are both capacity planning using overall factors (CPOF) and capacity
bills likely to return the same capacity requirement results?
a. when planning for a single product
b. when planning for a single work center
c. when planning for a single product that is produced in a single work center
d. the two methods will never return the same result - Correct Answer:When planning for a
single product that is produced in a single work center.
Resource profile planning differs from capacity planning using overall factors (CPOF) and
capacity bills by considering what?
a. custom orders
b. projected workload in individual work centers
c. future capacity expansions
d. inventory plans - Correct Answer:Projected workload in individual work centers
in which of the following ways does capacity planning (CRP) differ from rough-cut capacity
planning techniques
I. CRP uses a time-phased approach
II. CRP considers service part demand
III. CRP considers standard lot sizes - Correct Answer:I and II
T/F
Capacity requirements planning (CRP) ignores current finished goods and work-in-process
inventory levels. - Correct Answer:false
Which of these planning techniques requires the most computing resources?
A.Resource profiles
B.Capacity requirements using overall factors (CPOF)
C.Capacity requirements planning (CRP)
D.Capacity bills - Correct Answer:C.Capacity requirements planning (CRP)
Which of the following are benefits of simultaneous planning of capacity and materials?
I. Fewer compute resources required
II. Better utilization of existing capacity
III. Eliminates the need to expand capacity - Correct Answer:II
T/F
