  1. What is the primary goal of Material Requirements Planning (MRP)?

    Answer: To determine when and how much material to order or produce

    MRP calculates the quantity and timing of material orders and production orders needed to meet the MPS.

  2. Which MRP input file contains the product structure showing components needed for each parent item?

    Answer: Bill of Materials (BOM)

    The bill of materials lists all components, subassemblies, and raw materials required to produce each parent item.

  3. What is 'net requirements' in MRP?

    Answer: Gross requirements minus on-hand inventory and scheduled receipts

    Net requirements are calculated by subtracting available inventory and scheduled receipts from gross requirements.

  4. Which lot-sizing rule orders exactly the quantity needed period by period?

    Answer: Lot-for-lot (LFL)

    Lot-for-lot orders exactly the net requirement for each period, resulting in no excess inventory carried forward.

  5. What is 'planned order release' in MRP?

    Answer: An MRP-generated order offset back by lead time, ready to be released

    A planned order release is offset back in time by the item's lead time so that the order arrives when needed.

  6. What does 'pegging' in MRP allow a planner to do?

    Answer: Trace a material requirement back to the specific parent demand that caused it

    Pegging traces any MRP requirement up through the BOM levels to identify the specific end-item demand that generated it.
