Term
A master schedule contains a listing of all the assemblies, parts, and materials needed to produce one unit of an end item. (True/False)
Definition
FALSE
Term
The MRP input stating which end items are to be produced, when they are needed, and what quantities are needed, is the:

a. master schedule
b. bill-of-materials
c. inventory-records
d. assembly-time chart
e. net-requirements chart
Definition
a. master schedule
Term

a. A items
b. B items
c. C items

In the basic EOQ model, if D = 60 per month, S = $12, and H = $10 per unit per month, EOQ is:

a. 10
b. 12
c. 24
d. 72
e. 144
Definition
b. 12

EOQ = SQRT(2DS/H) = SQRT((2*60*12)/10) = 12
Term
If average demand for an inventory item is 200 units per day, lead time is three days, and safety stock is 100 units, the reorder point is:

a. 100 units
b. 200 units
c. 300 units
d. 600 units
e. 700 units
Definition
e. 700 units

ROP = d * LT = (200)(3)+100 = 700 units
Term

Definition
FALSE
Term

Term
The All Seasonings Company uses 3,200 glass jars at one of its jar-filling workstations each eight hours of production. The cycle time for a standard container, which holds 90 jars, averages 45 minutes. If management uses an efficiency factor of twenty percent, how many containers should be used?
Definition
N = ?
D = 3200/8 = 400 jars per hour
T = 45/60 = .75 hour
X = .20
C = 90 jars

N = DT(1+X)/C = (400)(.75)(1.20)/90 = 360/90 = 4 containers
