  1. What is the primary purpose of Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)?

    Answer: To align supply plans with demand plans across the organization

    S&OP integrates sales forecasts with production, inventory, and financial plans to create one unified operating plan.

  2. Which planning horizon is most commonly associated with the Master Production Schedule (MPS)?

    Answer: Weeks to months

    The MPS typically spans weeks to months, covering the planning fence within which firm orders are scheduled.

  3. What does 'demand time fence' mean in master scheduling?

    Answer: The period within which changes to the MPS are restricted or require management approval

    The demand time fence is the boundary inside which the master scheduler should not change the MPS without senior approval to avoid disrupting firm plans.

  4. Rough-cut capacity planning (RCCP) is performed to verify which plan?

    Answer: Master production schedule

    RCCP checks the feasibility of the MPS against key resources without the detail of full capacity requirements planning.

  5. In demand management, 'available-to-promise' (ATP) is used to:

    Answer: Commit to customer delivery dates based on uncommitted inventory and production

    ATP is the uncommitted portion of inventory and planned production that can be promised to new customer orders.

  6. Which technique disaggregates the production plan into a schedule for specific products?

    Answer: Master production scheduling
