CSCA Exam Questions With Correct
Answers
Aggregate |Production |Plan |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Aggregate |plan |for |the |production |
process. |Measures |what |quantity |of |materials |and |other |resources |are |to |be |procured |and |
when. |Time |frame |(at |least |one |year |usually |rolled |forward |by |3 |months |every |quarter)
Master |Production |Schedule |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--A |detailed |dis |aggregation |of |the |APP, |
listing |the |exact |end |items |to |be |produced |in |a |specific |period. |More |detailed |than |APP |
(shows |all |items |produced). |Time |frame |(shorter |planning |horizon, |but |longer |the |lead |time |to
|produce |an |item)
Materials |requirement |Plan |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Computer |based, |calculates |exact |
quantities, |need |dates, |and |planned |order |releases |for |sub |assemblies |& |materials |required |to
|manufacture |a |final |product. |Requires |independent |demand |information, |parent-component |
relationships |from |the |BOM, |LFL-order |what |you |need.
Chase |strategy |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Adjust |capacity |to |match |demand. |(Adv) |works |well |
for |make |to-order-firms. |Finished |goods |inventory |is |constant. |(Dis) |Hire |and |layoff |workers |
(time |and |money |to |train).
Level |strategy |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Constant |output |rate, |regardless |of |demand. |(Adv) |
works |well |for |make-to-stock |firms. |Constant |output, |don't |need |to |hire/lay |off. |(Dis) |Finished |
goods |inventory |and |backlog |vary. |Relies |on |how |accurate |the |forecast |is.
Mixed |Strategy |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Combination |of |both |chase |and |level |strategies. |
(Adv) |maintain |a |stable, |core |workforce. |(Dis) |Use |short-term |means: |overtime, |contractors, |
temps |to |manage |short-term |demand |costs |money.
, Time |Fence |MPS |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--necessary |because |of |system |nervousness |-small |
changes |in |the |upper-level |production |plan |cause |major |changes |in |the |lower-level |production
|plan. |Firms |use |a |time |fence |to |deal |with |nervousness |by |separating |the |the |planning |horizon.
Independant |Demand |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Forecast |demand |for |final |products |affected |
by |trends, |seasonal |patterns, |general |market |conditions |(computers, |pizza, |bicycles)
Dependent |Demand |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--the |internal |demand |for |parts |based |on |
independent |demand |of |the |final |product |in |which |the |parts |are |used |(sub-assemblies) |
(microchips |for |computers, |cheese |on |pizza, |wheels |on |bicycle). |Relationship |comes |from |
BOM.
Bill |of |Materials |(BOM) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--document |that |shows |a |listing |of |all |
component |parts |and |assemblies |making |up |the |final |product. |Determines |the |dependent |
demand |for |components. |Planning |factor, |how |many |components |do |you |need? |What |
materials |go |into |the |final |product?
Purpose |of |MRP |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--integrates |data |from |production |schedules |with |that
|form |of |inventory |and |the |BOM |to |calculate |purchasing |and |shipping |schedules |for |the |parts |
or |components.
Purpose |of |ERP |System |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--An |information |system |that |connects |all |
functional |areas |and |operations |of |an |organization |(and |in |some |cases, |suppliers |and |
customers) |via |common |software |infrastructure |and |database.
Raw |materials |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--unprocessed |purchase |inputs |) |sheet |metal, |plastic |
pellets).
Work |in |process |inventory |(WIP) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--partially |processed |materials |not |
yet |ready |for |sales |(partially |finished |product, |bike).
