The demonstrated capacity of equipment in a process flow is $1,200 per day. Due to a malfunction in a feeder line, utilization

Suggested Answer: C

The approved output of the distribution requirements planning (DRP) process is an input to the master production planning (MPS) process.The DRP process determines the quantity and timing of finished goods to be delivered to each distribution center or warehouse to meet customer demand1.The output of the DRP process is a distribution schedule that specifies the planned delivery dates and quantities of products2.The distribution schedule is then used as an input to the MPS process, which determines the quantity and timing of end items to be produced at each manufacturing facility3.The MPS process balances the demand from the distribution schedule with the available capacity and resources of the production system3.The output of the MPS process is a master production schedule that specifies the planned production dates and quantities of end items3.

I bet the person who wrote this question was feeling pretty clever. But hey, at least they didn't ask us to calculate the circumference of a square!

Hmm, this seems like a classic case of 'the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.' I'm just going to go with my gut and pick C. Hopefully, the curve is in my favor!

Wait, wait, wait. If the efficiency is 110%, doesn't that mean the output should be even higher than $990? This question is tripping me up.

I'm a bit confused. If the utilization is reduced by 25%, doesn't that mean the output would be $900? Why is the answer D?

Okay, let's see. If the capacity is $1,200 per day and the utilization is reduced by 25% on Day 6, that means the new capacity is $900. And since the efficiency is 110%, the output should be $990. I think the answer is D.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer is C) $900 as well. It makes sense based on the information given.

I agree with Mari, because if the capacity is reduced by 25%, the output would be 75% of $1,200 which is $900.
