The result of disaggregating the aggregate operations plan is the:

Master scheduling in process industries is usually performed in two levels: first by family,then by ____ within each family.

An example of a capacity option in aggregate operations planning for services is inventory.

Which planning process converts the MPS into requirements for key resources in order to test the feasibility of a proposed MPS?

The two primary factors in choosing an aggregate operations planning strategy are:

Available-to-promise (ATP)inventory for the first week is equal to the beginning inventory plus planned production quantity,if any,less the committed customer orders before the next planned production quantity.

Disaggregating an aggregate production plan leads to a master production schedule.

Using the given information,determine the following. a.What is total forecasted demand? b.What is total regular time capacity? c.How should overtime capacity be utilized? d.What are total regular time costs? e.What are total overtime costs? f.What are total carrying costs? g.What are total backorder costs? h.What are total costs for each period? i.What are total costs for the six periods? j.If hiring cost is $500 and firing cost if $400,would it be more economical on a per unit basis to use overtime or to hire and fire a temporary person (who can produce a maximum of 40 units per period)? What would be the difference in total costs for the six periods?

A firm has 43 units of a certain product on hand.Forecasts for the first two planning periods are 20 units each.A production quantity of 80 units is planned to be available in period 3.Customer orders are 22 for period 1 and 17 for period 2. What quantity is available for commitment to new customers prior to the receipt of the production quantity in week 3?

Which of the following are examples of intermediate operations planning decisions?

Master production scheduling has three inputs for each product: the beginning inventory,quantities already committed to customers,and back orders.

Linear programming models used to produce an aggregate operations plan are based on a total cost formula as a linear objective function and:

Aggregate operations planning is used to establish general levels of employment,production levels and changes in inventory levels over an intermediate range of time.

In practice,the more commonly used techniques for aggregate operations planning are:

A firm has 56 units of product X on hand.Forecasts of demand are for 20 units per week.A production quantity of 100 units is planned for period 3.Customer orders are 24 for period 1,18 for period 2,and 15 for period 3. What is the projected on hand inventory at the end of period 2?

The main disadvantage(s) of trial-and-error techniques used for aggregate operations planning is (are) :

Which of the following is not true about the transportation model as an approach to aggregate operations planning?

Aggregate operations planners sometimes use optimization techniques such as linear programming for planning.
