Given the bill of material (BOM) information below and independent requirements of 10 pieces (pcs) per week of Component A and 20 pieces (pcs) per week of Component B, what is the weekly gross requirement of component F?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: C
Explanation:
Given the bill of material (BOM) information, we can calculate the weekly gross requirement of component F by considering the independent requirements of Component A and B. For Component A, there is no direct requirement for Component F. For Component B, which has an independent requirement of 20 pcs per week, each requires 4 pcs of Component F according to its BOM. So, thetotal weekly gross requirement for Component F due to Component B is 204 = 80 pcs. Additionally, each piece of Component A requires 2 pieces of Component C according to its BOM and has an independent requirement of 10 pcs per week; hence requiring a total of 20 pieces of component C per week. Each piece of component C in turn requires 4 pieces of component F according to its BOM; hence requiring a total weekly gross requirement for component F due to component A is: 204 =80 pcs. Adding both gives us a total weekly gross requirement for component F as:80+80=160pcs. References:

A planner has chosen to increase the order point for a raw material. Which of the following costs is most likely to increase?
- A. Product
- B. Ordering
- C. Landed
- D. Carrying
Answer: D
Explanation:
The order point is the level of inventory that triggers a replenishment order. By increasing the order point, the planner is increasing the average inventory level, which in turn increases the carrying cost. Carrying cost is the cost of holding inventory, such as storage, insurance, obsolescence, and opportunity cost. Ordering cost, landed cost, and product cost are not directly affected by the order point12.

NEW QUESTION # 198
Which of the following tools shows process changes and random variation over time?
- A. Histogram
- B. Check sheet
- C. Pareto analysis
- D. Control chart
Answer: D
Explanation:
A control chart is a tool that shows process changes and random variation over time. It is a type of statistical process control (SPC) that monitors the performance of a process and detects whether it is in or out of control.
A control chart consists of a center line, an upper control limit, and a lower control limit. The center line represents the average or target value of the process. The control limits represent the acceptable range of variation withinthe process. If the data points fall within the control limits, the process is considered stable and in control. If the data points fall outside the control limits, or show a non-random pattern, the process is considered unstable and out of control, indicating the presence of special causes of variation that need to be investigated and eliminated.

An example of an assignable cause of variation in process performance is:
- A. changes in temperature in the machine shop.
- B. incorrect setup of a machine by the operator.
- C. power fluctuation during machine operation.
- D. machine vibration during operation.
Answer: B
Explanation:
An assignable cause of variation is a source of variation that is intermittent, not predictable, and identifiable. It is also called a special cause of variation. An assignable cause of variation affects the process performance in an unexpected and non-random way, and it can be eliminated or controlled by finding and correcting the specific cause1. An example of an assignable cause of variation in process performance is incorrect setup of a machine by the operator. This means that the operator did not follow the standard procedure or specification for setting up the machine, which may result in defective or nonconforming products or materials. This cause of variation can be identified and corrected by checking the setup instructions, training the operator, or implementing a setup verification system23.

NEW QUESTION # 201
A company selling seasonal products is preparing their sales and operations plan for the coming year. Their current labor staffing is at the maximum for their production facility and cannot meet the forecasted demand. The business plan shows they do not have the financial capability to add to the production facility. Which of the following actions would be most appropriate?
- A. Usehybridproduction planningto save labor costs and inventory costs in the low demand season.
- B. Uselevel production planning and investigate subcontracting to meet the extra demand.
- C. Usehybridproduction planningand reduce the size of the customer base during the highdemand season.
- D. Usechaseproduction planningand only take the orders that can be produced In the highdemand season.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Level production planning is a strategy that maintains a constant output rate, production rate, or workforce level over the planning horizon. It is suitable for products with stable demand or seasonal demand that can be smoothed by using inventory or backorders. Level production planning can help reduce labor costs, hiring and firing costs, and overtime costs. However, it may also result in high inventory costs or customer dissatisfaction due to long lead times or stockouts. To overcome these drawbacks, the company can investigate subcontracting to meet the extra demand during the peak season. Subcontracting is the process of outsourcing some or all of the production to another firm. It can help the company increase its capacity, flexibility, and responsiveness without investing in additional facilities or equipment. Subcontracting can also reduce the risk of obsolescence or spoilage of seasonal products.
Option B is not appropriate, because chase production planning is a strategy that adjusts the production rate to match the demand rate over the planning horizon. It is suitable for products with highly variable or uncertain demand that cannot be smoothed by using inventory or backorders. Chase production planning can help minimize inventory costs and avoid overproduction or underproduction. However, it may also result in high labor costs, hiring and firing costs, and overtime costs. Moreover, it may limit the company's ability to capture the market share and satisfy the customer demand during the high demand season.
Option C is not appropriate, because hybrid production planning is a strategy that combines the features of level production planning and chase production planning. It is suitable for products with moderate variability or uncertainty in demand that can be partially smoothed by using inventory or backorders. Hybrid production planning can help balance the trade-offs between inventory costs and labor costs. However, it may also increase the complexity and difficulty of coordinating the production and demand plans. Moreover, it may not address the company's financial constraints or capacity limitations.
Option D is not appropriate, because reducing the size of the customer base during the high demand season is a risky and counterproductive move. It may result in losing loyal customers, damaging the company's reputation, and forfeiting potential profits. It may also create an opportunity for competitors to gain market share and customer loyalty.

NEW QUESTION # 203
The planned channels of Inventory disbursement from one or more sources to field warehouses are known as:
- A. a supply chain community.
- B. interplant demand.
- C. logistics data interchange (LDI).
- D. a bill of distribution.
Answer: D
Explanation:
A bill of distribution is the planned channels of inventory disbursement from one or more sources to field warehouses and ultimately to the customer. There may be one or more levels in the disbursement system. It is used to allocate inventory among different distribution centers based on demand, capacity, and costs. A bill of distribution is similar to a bill of materials, but for distribution planning instead of production planning. The other options are not correct, as they refer to different concepts in distribution management:
*A supply chain community is a network of organizations that collaborate to achieve common goals and objectives in the supply chain.
*Interplant demand is the demand for a product or component from one plant to another within the same company.
*Logistics data interchange (LDI) is the electronic exchange of information between logistics partners, such as suppliers, carriers, and customers. References:

NEW QUESTION # 204
Which of the following activities is an example of collaboration between suppliers and operations which would give more lead time visibility?
- A. Sending the supplier an annual forecast for materials
- B. Sharing of demand data with a supplier
- C. Conducting a facility tour for a supplier
- D. Conducting a qualification meeting with the supplier of a new material
Answer: B
Explanation:
Sharing of demand data with a supplier is an example of collaboration between suppliers and operations which would give more lead time visibility. This is because it allows the supplier to plan and adjust their production and delivery schedules according to the customer's needs, reducing the risk of stockouts or excess inventory. It also enables the supplier to provide feedback and suggestions to improve the demand planning process and the accuracy of the forecasts. Sharing of demand data is a key component of supplier relationship management (SRM) and collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR).

NEW QUESTION # 205
The master schedule is an Important tool in the sales and operations planning (S&OP) process because it:
- A. balances supply and demand at the product mix level.
- B. balances supply and demand at the sales volume level.
- C. represents the forecast with less detail.
- D. represents the forecast before changes are made in S&OP.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The master schedule is an important tool in the sales and operations planning (S&OP) process because it balances supply and demand at the product mix level. The master schedule is a detailed plan that specifies the quantity and timing of each end item or product family to be produced. It is derived from the aggregate production plan, which is the output of the S&OP process. The master schedule helps to translate the aggregate plan into specific product requirements and to allocate the available capacity to meet the demand. The master schedule also provides input to the material requirements planning (MRP) and capacity requirements planning (CRP) systems, which further refine the production plan at the component and resource levels. The other statements are not true about the master schedule. The master schedule does not represent the forecast before changes are made in S&OP, as the forecast is an input to the S&OP process, not an output. The master schedule does not represent the forecast with less detail, as the master schedule is more detailed than the forecast, which is usually expressed in aggregate terms. The master schedule does not balance supply and demand at the sales volume level, as the sales volume level is the level of the aggregate production plan, not the master schedule.

Long lead-time items with stable demand would best be supported by a supply chain:
- A. designed to be responsive.
- B. linked through an enterprise resources planning (ERP) system.
- C. positioning inventory close to the consumer.
- D. using a pull system.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Long lead-time items with stable demand are best supported by a supply chain that positions inventory close to the consumer. This reduces the risk of stockouts and improves customer service levels. It also allows the supply chain to buffer against demand variability and supply disruptions. Positioning inventory close to the consumer is a form of postponement strategy, where the final assembly or customization of products is delayed until the customer order is received12.
