There are multiple strategies in terms of planning capacity to ensure the capability of producing the planned production. One strategy is to employ a capacity cushion in which the available capacity is more than the needed capacity to meet the plan. The negative aspect of maintaining a capacity cushion is that it reduces:

Since capacity has already been validated at the MPS level, why is it checked again at the MRP level?

The time when resources are not producing product is known as

Products that are usually manufacturing together because of product or process similarities are

A company has a mandate to meet schedule dates, CRP has identified a capacity overload, and it appears the product will be shipped late. Which of the following actions should be done first?

Which of the following benefits is the best use of a MRP simulation capacity?

An infinite capacity planning report would typically show what type of load profile?

CRP uses infinite rather than finite planning because

Capacity that provides protection from planned and unplanned activities is

Which of the following elements is used by CRP to determine total load on work centers in a job shop environment?

A company pursues a chase production strategy during holiday peaks. Which of the following elements is most likely to cause variability if rated capacity is recalculated on a period-by-period basis for CRP?
