1)

Your Organization is using Planned independent requirement as a planning strategy. Which of

following statement are correct?

Note: There are more than one correct answers to this question.

a)

It is used generally with make-to-order production

b)

The stock requirements can be derived from a forecast of future demands

c)

It is used when a specific sales orders are received

d)

It is used to spread the burden evenly as possible across your production resources

Answer: b, d

Explanation:

Planned independent requirements are stock requirements that can be derived from a forecast

of future demand. It is generally used in made-to-stock production, where we want to start

procurement of the affected materials without waiting for specific sales orders. On the one

hand this kind of procedure allows us to reduce delivery times, while on the other hand, we can

use forecast planning to spread the burden as evenly as possible across our production

resources.

2)

When do we use Consumption-based planning when we are planning for a material?


a)

We are planning for high value materials

b)

It is based on the current and future sales as a reference point for planning the material

c)

One of the requirement is efficient and up-to-date inventory management

d)

We are planning for low value materials

Answer: c, d


12/17

Explanation:

Consumption-based planning is based on historical consumption values and uses forecast or

statistical procedures to determine future requirements. Consumption-based planning is

characterized by its simplicity and is mainly used for B and C parts with a low value. One

prerequisite of consumption-based planning is efficient-and constantly up-to-date inventorymanagement.

In contrast to consumption-based planning, material requirements planning take current and

future sales as a reference point and are executed for the whole BOM structure. The planned

requirement quantities trigger the MRP calculation. It produces better planning results than

consumption-based planning.

3)

How does the system do the detailed planning in MRP?


a)

The procurement dates and quantities for the required assemblies and components are

determined based on the requirements dates and quantities for the finished product

b)

Scheduling of procurement for in-house products is carried out using the BOM

c)

The assemblies required for production is determined using the routing

d)

Bill of material and routing must be available for the material planned

Answer: a, d

Explanation:


13/17


14/17

Make-to-stock strategies are aimed at planning the procurement of components (procurement

or purchasing) by planning the finished product. If it is easier to plan at component level, we can

use planning at assembly level. We choose make-to-order production strategy if

The materials do not have to be stored separately or are assigned to a specific sales

order; The costs have to be visible at material level, in other words not at sales order level.

We use make-to-stock production when we produce stock independently of an order, because

we want to supply our customers with goods from this stock later. We may want to produce

goods without a sales order if we expect a demand for them in future. Make-to-stock strategies

thus support very close customer-supplier relationships, since their purpose is to supply the

customer with goods from stock as quickly as possible.

5)

You have been asked to explain the feature of make-to-stock production with net

requirement planning according to strategy 10. Which of the following features are correct?

Please choose the correct answer.

a)

Sales order are relevant for MRP

b)

Sales order are fulfilled from stock

c)

Goods withdrawals against sales order reduce the respective planned independent

requirements

d)

The planned independent requirement is reduced in accordance with the LIFO principle

using the requirement date

Answer: b

Explanation:


15/17

In pure make-to-stock production (net requirements planning according to strategy 10), the

demand program is determined without reference to sales order

Sales orders are not relevant for MRP, but we can display them for information purposes. Sales

orders are fulfilled from stock. No consumption with planned independent requirements occurs.

We can carry out the availability check with ATP logic in Sales and Distribution. Goodswithdrawals against a sales order reduce the respective sales order.

Reduction of the demand program, that is, of the planned independent requirements, is carried

out at goods issue. The oldest planned independent requirement is reduced first, in according

with the FIFO (first in first out) principle using the requirement date. Future planned

independent requirements are also reduced by goods issues, provided this is allowed by the

forward consumption period in the material master.


16/17

6)

Your organization is using forward/backward consumption mode to determine the direction

on the time axis in which incoming sales orders are to consume planned independent

requirement. So which consumption you would choose to support this type of consumption

mode?

Please choose the correct answer.

a)

Consumption mode 1

b)

Consumption mode 2

c)

Consumption mode 3

d)

Consumption mode 4

Answer: d

Explanation:

We can use consumption mode to determine the direction on the time axis in which incoming

sales orders are to consume planned independent requirements.

In backward consumption (consumption mode 1), the sales order consumes planned

independent requirements from before the customer requirement.

In forward consumption (consumption mode 3), the sales order consumes planned independent

requirements from after the customer requirement.

We can combine backward and forward consumption provided that we take the consumption

periods into account (consumption mode 2 or 4).


17/17

We can define the consumption mode and the consumption periods either in the material

master or for each plant and MRP group. If no values have been entered, the system uses the

default setting with the backward consumption for 999 days.
