MRP Wrap up

A computer-based information system designed to handle ordering and scheduling of dependent-demand items is used for

• computer-aided manufacturing.

• computer-integrated manufacturing.

• economic order quantity.

• material requirements planning.

The output of MRP is

• gross requirements.

• net requirements.

• a schedule of planned orders for all parts and end items.

• inventory reorder points.

The MRP input stating which end items are to be produced, when they are needed, and what quantities are needed, is the

• master schedule.

• bill of materials.

• inventory records.

• assembly time chart.

Backflushing takes place:

• when inventory records need updating.

• after some bills of material have been found to be inaccurate.

• after production has been completed.

• when customer orders are being reconciled.

The MRP input listing the subassemblies, parts, and raw materials needed to produce one unit of finished product is the:

• master production schedule.

• bill of materials.

• inventory records.

• assembly time chart.

In MRP, under lot-for-lot ordering, planned-order receipts are:

• identical to scheduled receipts.

• identical to net requirements.

• open orders (ordered before the first time bucket, but not delivered yet).

• gross requirements.

In MRP, the gross requirements of a given component part are calculated directly from:

• net requirements of the end item.

• planned order releases of the end item.

• gross requirements of the immediate parent.

• planned order releases of the immediate parent.

Which one of the following most closely describes the MRP approach that is used to compensate for variations:

• increased order sizes

• low-level coding

• pegging

• safety time
