CPIM (PART 2) 501-550 Questions and answers
with solutions
rate-based scheduling - ANSWER A method for scheduling and producing
based on a periodic rate (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly). This method has
traditionally been applied to high-volume and process industries. The
concept has also been applied within job shops using cellular layouts
and mixed-model level schedules where the production rate is matched
to the selling rate.
rated capacity - ANSWER The expected output capability of a resource or
system. Capacity is traditionally calculated from such data as planned
hours, efficiency, and utilization. The _________ ___________ is equal
to hours available x efficiency x utilization. Syn: calculated capacity,
effective capacity, nominal capacity, standing capacity.
redundancy - ANSWER A backup capability, coming either from extra
machines or from extra components within a machine, to reduce the
effects of breakdowns.
regression analysis - ANSWER A statistical technique for determining the
best mathematical expression describing the functional relationship
between one response and one or more independent variables.
, released order - ANSWER 1) A released manufacturing order or purchase
order. Syn: released order. See: scheduled receipt. 2) An unfilled
customer order. Syn: open order.
remanufacturing - ANSWER An industrial process in which worn-out
products are restored to like-new condition.
remedial maintenance - ANSWER Unscheduled maintenance performed
to return a product or process to a specified performance level after a
failure or malfunction.
repair order - ANSWER A manufacturing order to rework and salvage
defective parts or products. Syn: spoiled work order. Syn: rework order.
repetitive manufacturing - ANSWER The repeated production of the
same discrete products or families of products.
replanning frequency - ANSWER In an MRP system, the amount of time
between successive runs of the MRP model. If the planner does not run
MRP frequently enough, the material plan becomes inaccurate because
material requirements and inventory status change w ith the passage of
time.
required capacity - ANSWER The capacity of a system or resource needed
to produce a desired output in a particular time period. Syn: capacity
required. See: capacity.
