Chapter 15 Integrated Production Processes IPP 1 Production systems facilitate integration of all aspects of product design marketing and TRUE FALSE manufacturing ANS F ANS T goods are completed ANS F 2 Product life cycle management systems are add ons or additional ERP modules that organize data by product including design manufacturing specifications quality and warranty performance 3 Cycle time is the time it takes from when authorization is made for goods to be produced to when the 4 In the pull approach to manufacturing the sales forecast drives the production plan and goods are produced in large batches 5 Theoretically in the push approach to manufacturing each batch or job consists of one unit 6 With the pull approach to manufacturing factory machinery is arranged in clusters or cells 7 Supply chain management software provides available to promise planning and capable to promise 8 A process costing system attempts to assign costs to products based on the amount of service operations such as purchase order preparation material handling storage time wait time and other nonvalue added processes that the products consume 9 A cost driver is one of the main factors influencing total cost 10 Lifecycle costs are the sum of costs to design produce market deliver and support a product from conception to ultimate discontinuance ANS F ANS F ANS T planning ANS T ANS F ANS T ANS T 11 A supply chain is a sequence of activities performed by an organization that add value or utility to the product produced or service rendered 12 The computer technology application that automates the product design process including but not limited to the functions of geometric modeling materials stress and strain analysis drafting storing product specifications and mechanical simulation of a product s performance is called CAD CAE 13 The inventory production schedule is a set of specific production goals developed from forecasts of demand actual sales orders and or inventory information 14 MRP is a process that uses bills of material raw material and WIP inventory status data open order data and the master production schedule to calculate a time phased order requirements schedule for materials and subassemblies 15 Continuous inventory management is an inventory management approach where inventory needs and inventory production capabilities are matched across the entire global enterprise 16 Capacity requirements planning is the process that uses the information from the master production schedule and the time phased order requirements schedule to develop detailed machine and labor utilization schedule based on available capacity 17 Purchase orders convey authority for the manufacture of a specified product or subassembly in specified quantity and describe the material labor and machine requirements for the job 18 MRP is an integrated decision support system for planning executing and controlling manufacturing 19 JIT is a manufacturing philosophy or business strategy for designing production systems that are more responsive to precisely timed customer delivery requirements 20 An assembly line manufacturing system is a highly automated computer integrated manufacturing system that has its goal of achieving the ability to quickly produce wide varieties of products using the same equipment ANS F ANS T ANS F ANS T ANS F ANS T ANS F operations ANS T ANS T ANS F 21 Computer aided manufacturing is the application of computer and communications technology to improve productivity by linking computer numerical control CNC machines monitoring production and providing automatic feedback to control operations 22 Computer aided process planning is an automated decision support system that generates manufacturing operations instructions and routings based on information about machining requirements and machine capabilities 23 An automated storage and retrieval system is one type of automated materials handling system that typically is a computer based cart system capable of delivering parts and tools among multiple work centers 24 The automated storage and retrieval system is a computer based system for storing and retrieving parts 25 The financial accounting system is concerned with the flow of costs through the factory 26 A bill of material contains the standard material quantities that are required to produce one unit of end 27 The process of exploding the BOM calculates the standard material quantities required to produce the number of output units shown by the master production schedule MPS 28 The process of exploding the bill of materials results in a master production schedule 29 Shop floor control is used to monitor and record the status of manufacturing orders and work centers during the manufacturing process 30 A step master shows the necessary steps and the time to complete each step in producing a product 31 The material labor and machine requirements for each job are reflected in a manufacturing order ANS T ANS T ANS F and tools ANS T ANS F product ANS T ANS T ANS F ANS T ANS F ANS T ANS F ANS F standards ANS T ANS T 32 Capable to promise planning is accumulation of the data on current inventories sales commitments and planned production to determine whether the production of finished goods will be sufficient to commit to additional sales orders 33 Available to promise planning is the accumulation of data on current inventories sales commitments planned production and excess production capacity or other planned production capacity that could be quickly converted to production of the desired finished goods necessary to fulfill a sales order request 34 Variance analysis is the process of comparing actual information about input costs and usage to 35 The final move ticket marks the end of the conversion process and the movement of goods to the finished goods warehouse MULTIPLE CHOICE 1 Which of the following is not one key characteristics of
