Question

True/False

1. The MPS nets against on-hand balances to determine requirements in the schedule.

2. The MPS converts product family quantities into mix and item level schedules.

3. Planning BOMs usually drive requirements for orders already placed with a manufacturing company.

4. The MPS horizon should extend as far as the S&OP horizon if a company wants to give their best detailed planning information to their suppliers.

5. The MPS drives independent demand and must also pick up alternative demand such as service components sold for field repairs.

6. The MPS must always be in synchronization with the Production Plan from the S&OP even if demand has changed from the "Plan of Record" 2 weeks into the month and after the S&OP handshake.

7. Time fence rules are important in managing the MPS properly.  The Master Scheduler is often the "keeper" and one of the enforcers of these documented rules.

8. Planning BOMs, once developed do not require maintenance to keep them in sync with reality (mix or configuration).

Answers and reasons for those answers please? Thanks a lot.
