[All CPIM-Part-2 Questions]

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

of the equipment is reduced by 25% on Day 6. If the efficiency remains unchanged at 110%, what would the output be on Day 6?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
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 thought it would be lower than 900, interesting!

So, if the capacity is $1,200 and it's reduced by 25%, does that mean we multiply by 0.75 first? I hope I got that right.

I think we had a similar question in practice about equipment utilization. If I recall, we had to adjust the daily output based on the percentage reduction.

If utilization drops by 25%, that’s 900 output.

I believe after calculating the reduced capacity, we then apply the efficiency of 110%. I just hope I remember the math correctly!

I remember that to find the output, we need to calculate the reduced capacity first. But I'm not sure how to apply the efficiency factor correctly.

Okay, let me see if I can walk through this. The capacity is $1,200 per day, and the efficiency is 110%, so the normal output is $1,320. Then on Day 6, the utilization is reduced by 25%, so the output should be 75% of the normal output. I think the answer is $990, but I'm not 100% sure.

I think I've got it! The key is that the efficiency remains at 110%, so we need to factor that in. The normal output is $1,200 * 1.1 = $1,320. Then with the 25% reduction in utilization, the output on Day 6 would be $1,320 * 0.75 = $990. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. If the utilization is reduced by 25%, shouldn't the output be reduced by 25% as well? That would make the answer $900. I'll have to double-check my work on this one.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The equipment has a capacity of $1,200 per day, and the efficiency is 110%. So the normal output would be $1,320 per day. Then on Day 6, the utilization is reduced by 25%, which means the output should be 75% of the normal output. So the answer should be $990.

Okay, let me see. The capacity is reduced by 25%, so that's $300 off the original $1,200. But the efficiency is 110%, so the output should be higher than $900. I'm leaning towards option B, $330.

I think I've got this. The original capacity is $1,200 per day. With the 25% reduction, that's $900 per day. And since the efficiency is 110%, the output on Day 6 would be $990. I'll go with option D.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key information is the 25% reduction in utilization on Day 6, and the 110% efficiency. I'll need to calculate the new capacity and then adjust for the efficiency.
