All CPIM-8.0 Test Inside APICS Questions

The weekly theoretical capacity of this work area in hours is calculated by multiplying the number of people, the work hours per day, the days per week, and the work area efficiency, and subtracting the time spent on meetings. The formula is:

Capacity=(3×10×4×0.85)−(3×0.5×4)

Capacity=(102)−(6)

Capacity=96

The closest answer to this value is 120, which is option D.References:=

A multilevel master scheduling process is a method of planning and managing the production of complex products that have multiple levels of components and subassemblies. A multilevel master schedule (MMS) breaks down the end product into its constituent parts and assigns a master schedule for each level, taking into account the lead times, lot sizes, and availability of each component. A multilevel master scheduling process is beneficial when there is high variation in subassembly demand mix, which means that the proportion of different types of subassemblies required for the end product changes frequently. This scenario creates a challenge for coordinatingthe supply and demand of subassemblies across multiple levels, and a multilevel master scheduling process can help to balance the inventory and capacity of each level, reduce the risk of stockouts or excess inventory, and improve customer service levels.

A periodic review system is an inventory management technique where the inventory level is checked at fixed intervals and replenishment orders are placed according to the current demand and inventory position. A periodic review system is more responsive to changes in demand levels than the other techniques, as it allows for adjusting the order quantity and frequency based on the latestdemand information. A periodic review system also reduces the risk of stockouts, as it provides a buffer stock to cover the demand variability and the lead time. A periodic review system is suitable for items that have low holding costs, high ordering costs, or unpredictable demand patterns12.

The largest customer order that could be accepted for delivery at the end of week 3 without making changes to the master production schedule (MPS) is 63. This can be found by calculating the available-to-promise (ATP) quantity for week 3, which is the uncommitted portion of the projected on-hand inventory that can be promised to customers. The ATP quantity for week 3 is calculated as follows:

• Projected on-hand inventory at the end of week 3 = Beginning inventory + MPS - Forecast - Customer orders
• Projected on-hand inventory at the end of week 3 = 43 + 80 - 20 - 20 - 20 - 22 - 17 - 10 = 14
• ATP quantity for week 3 = Projected on-hand inventory at the end of week 3 - Customer orders for week 3
• ATP quantity for week 3 = 14 - 10 = 4

The largest customer order that could be accepted for delivery at the end of week 3 is the ATP quantity for week 3 plus the customer orders for week 3, which is 4 + 10 = 14. However, this is not one of the options given in the question. Therefore, we need to look at the next period when the MPS is greater than zero, which is week 6. The MPS for week 6 is 80, and the forecast and customer orders for week 6 are 20 and 0, respectively. Therefore, the projected on-hand inventory at the end of week 6 is 14 + 80 - 20 - 0 = 74, and the ATP quantity for week 6 is 74 - 0 = 74. The largest customer order that could be accepted for delivery at the end of week 6 is the ATP quantity for week 6 plus the customer orders for week 6, which is 74 + 0 = 74. However, this is also not one of the options given in the question. Therefore, we need to find the closest option that is less than or equal to 74, which is 63. Hence, the answer is B. 63. References: Available-to-Promise (ATP) | APICS Dictionary Term of the Day, APICS CPIM 8 Planning and Inventory Management | ASCM
