1) Your Organization is using Planned independent requirement as a planning strategy. Which of
following statement are correct?
Note: There are more than one correct answers to this question.
a) It is used generally with make-to-order production
b) The stock requirements can be derived from a forecast of future demands
c) It is used when a specific sales orders are received
d) It is used to spread the burden evenly as possible across your production resources
Answer: b, d
Explanation:
Planned independent requirements are stock requirements that can be derived from a forecast
of future demand. It is generally used in made-to-stock production, where we want to start
procurement of the affected materials without waiting for specific sales orders. On the one
hand this kind of procedure allows us to reduce delivery times, while on the other hand, we can
use forecast planning to spread the burden as evenly as possible across our production
resources.

2) When do we use Consumption-based planning when we are planning for a material?
Note: There are more than one correct answers to this question.
a) We are planning for high value materials
b) It is based on the current and future sales as a reference point for planning the material
c) One of the requirement is efficient and up-to-date inventory management
d) We are planning for low value materials
Answer: c, d
Explanation:
Consumption-based planning is based on historical consumption values and uses forecast or
statistical procedures to determine future requirements. Consumption-based planning is
characterized by its simplicity and is mainly used for B and C parts with a low value. One
prerequisite of consumption-based planning is efficient-and constantly up-to-date inventory
management.
In contrast to consumption-based planning, material requirements planning take current and
future sales as a reference point and are executed for the whole BOM structure. The planned
requirement quantities trigger the MRP calculation. It produces better planning results than
consumption-based planning.

3) How does the system do the detailed planning in MRP?
Note: There are more than one correct answers to this question.
a) The procurement dates and quantities for the required assemblies and components are
determined based on the requirements dates and quantities for the finished product
b) Scheduling of procurement for in-house products is carried out using the BOM
c) The assemblies required for production is determined using the routing
d) Bill of material and routing must be available for the material planned

Answer: a, d
Explanation:
In the first step for detailed planning in MRP, the procurement dates and quantities for the
required assemblies and components are determined based on the requirements dates and
quantities for the finished product (for example, a sales order). Bill of material and routings
must be exploded to do this.
Scheduling of procurement for in-house products is carried out using the routing. The
production operations to be executed and the length of the individual operation are specified in
the routing. The assemblies (from the BOM) required for production must be available when
production of the finished product is started. Procurement of these assemblies must therefore
be initiated earlier. In this way, assuming the dependent requirements date is the availability
date, the system determines the order dates of the components by means of backward
scheduling using the in-house production time or planned delivery time.

4) Your organization has opted for make-to-stock production strategy. Which of the following
are the reasons for choosing this strategy?
Note: There are more than one correct answers to this question.
a) The cost of the finished good has to be visible at a sales order level
b) The demand for the material is consistent and with less changes in specification
c) The material do not have to be stored separately or are assigned to a specific sales order
d) Sales order are filled from the production stock
Answer: b, c
Explanation:
Make-to-stock strategies are aimed at planning the procurement of components (procurement
or purchasing) by planning the finished product. If it is easier to plan at component level, we can
use planning at assembly level. We choose make-to-order production strategy if
The materials do not have to be stored separately or are assigned to a specific sales
order;
The costs have to be visible at material level, in other words not at sales order level.
We use make-to-stock production when we produce stock independently of an order, because
we want to supply our customers with goods from this stock later. We may want to produce
goods without a sales order if we expect a demand for them in future. Make-to-stock strategies
thus support very close customer-supplier relationships, since their purpose is to supply the
customer with goods from stock as quickly as possible.

5) You have been asked to explain the feature of make-to-stock production with net
requirement planning according to strategy 10. Which of the following features are correct?
Please choose the correct answer.
a) Sales order are relevant for MRP
b) Sales order are fulfilled from stock
c) Goods withdrawals against sales order reduce the respective planned independent
requirements
d) The planned independent requirement is reduced in accordance with the LIFO principle
using the requirement date
Answer: b
Explanation:
In pure make-to-stock production (net requirements planning according to strategy 10), the
demand program is determined without reference to sales order
Sales orders are not relevant for MRP, but we can display them for information purposes. Sales
orders are fulfilled from stock. No consumption with planned independent requirements occurs.
We can carry out the availability check with ATP logic in Sales and Distribution. Goods
withdrawals against a sales order reduce the respective sales order.

Reduction of the demand program, that is, of the planned independent requirements, is carried
out at goods issue. The oldest planned independent requirement is reduced first, in according
with the FIFO (first in first out) principle using the requirement date. Future planned
independent requirements are also reduced by goods issues, provided this is allowed by the
forward consumption period in the material master.


6) Your organization is using forward/backward consumption mode to determine the direction
on the time axis in which incoming sales orders are to consume planned independent
requirement. So which consumption you would choose to support this type of consumption
mode?
Please choose the correct answer.
a) Consumption mode 1
b) Consumption mode 2
c) Consumption mode 3
d) Consumption mode 4
Answer: d
Explanation:
We can use consumption mode to determine the direction on the time axis in which incoming
sales orders are to consume planned independent requirements.
In backward consumption (consumption mode 1), the sales order consumes planned
independent requirements from before the customer requirement.
In forward consumption (consumption mode 3), the sales order consumes planned independent
requirements from after the customer requirement.
We can combine backward and forward consumption provided that we take the consumption
periods into account (consumption mode 2 or 4).

We can define the consumption mode and the consumption periods either in the material
master or for each plant and MRP group. If no values have been entered, the system uses the
default setting with the backward consumption for 999 days.
