1. Arnold Palmer Hospital are going through the process of building a new hospital and are debating which concept would address the issues of forecasted demand, forecasted staffing requirements, pursuing supply chain demands, and still ensuring they cover all strategic planning for all the planning horizons. The best concept to use in these circumstances would be:

1. Aggregate Planning
2. Disaggregation
3. Master Production Schedule
4. Transportation Method of Linear Programming
5. Sales and Operations Planning

1. Wheeled Coach Ambulance uses an area from which it draws its inventory, i.e. hulls, cabin covers, wheel housing, and other component parts. This area is from which inventory is drawn is called a:

1. Supermarket
2. Lot-for-lot area
3. Periodic Order Quantity Storage Area
4. Phantom Bill of Material Area
5. Master Production Storage Area

1. At KPU and in this course (week 10), the comparison between an MRP and an ERP was given / is as follows:

1. An MRP is the same type of activity as that used during Aggregate Planning (e.g. as in an ERP)
2. An MRP includes the BoM (bill of materials), and the ERP includes an APR
3. * An MRP includes the inventory and expected receipts, and an ERP includes the overall Master Production

Schedule (MPS)

1. An MRP focuses on inventory and the BoM, whilst an ERP incorporates the lead times for inventory
2. An MRP is like a strategy, whilst and ERP is more like a mission statement encompassing strategies

1. A document at Harley Davidson that calls for the production of 50 small set of handlebars in week 1; 50 standard frames for 500cc bikes, and 100 single seat saddles in week 2; 100 large fuel tanks for 1,000cc bikes, and 200 dual capacity sets in week 3; and 100 heavy duty racing tyres in week four. This document is most likely a(n)

A. Net requirements document.

B. Resource requirements profile.

C. Aggregate plan.

D. * Master production schedule.

E. Wagner-Whitin finite capacity document.

1. Wheeled Coach Ambulance has two in-house production facilities/machines for the processing of connecting the outer housing of the ambulance to its chassis (frame). The particular job that should be scheduled last when using Johnson's Rule is the job with the:

1. Largest total processing time on both machines
2. Smallest amount of total processing time on both machines
3. Longest activity time if it lies with the first machine
4. Longest activity time if it lies with the second machine
5. Shortest activity time if it lies with the second machine

1. At Hard Rock Caf, the "Lead time" for birthday cakes is 2 days with daily demand of 10 cakes and a

safety stock of day. Each container (kanban) holds 1 cake. What is the correct number of kanbans?

1. Not enough information
2. 1
3. 5
4. 10
5. 25

1. Lead time for Harley Davidson speedometers/rev counters is 7 days with daily demand of 5

speedometers/rev counters and a safety stock of 1 day. Each kanban holds 8 speedometers/rev counters.

What is the correct number of kanbans?

A. Not enough information

B. 1

C. 5

D. 7

E. 8

1. Group Report members at KPU during this course have used a Gantt Chart to indicate who does what, and when - over 10 week period. This will enable them to know their own responsibility (over the short term), and to ensure they have reliable information on hand to do their part. The most suitable concept for this activity is:

A. Mixed Strategy

B. Planned Order Release

C. Processed Focussed Facility

D. Finite Capacity Scheduling

E. Disaggregation

1. KPU are considering adding iPads for use in the classroom, in case the existing computer fails to work. Currently, the classroom computers are classified with a probability of working at 0.8 (of the time). By adding an iPad, it is expected each iPad will also have a probability of working at 0.8 (of the time). The resulting reliability of this combination is:

1. 0.16
2. 0.32
3. 0.64
4. 0.72
5. 0.96

1. KPU are opening a new campus in North Vancouver, and have decided to use Apple Computers in all classrooms. However, from a financial perspective, they want to emphasise the total cost of ownership, so that they include the cost of "Apple Care" for all the machines purchased. Given these requirements/decisions, what is the appropriate concept that covers these issues?

1. Autonomous maintenance
2. Simulation
3. Comparative preventative costs
4. Total productive maintenance
