2 Mention the inventory models for independent demand and
define any one of them.
% Independent demand: An inventory of an item is said to be falling into the
category of independent demand when the demand for such an item is not
dependent upon the demand for another item. For example: finished goods
items, which are ordered by external customers or manufactured for stock and
sale, are called independent demand items.
Dependent demand: If the demand for inventory of an item is dependent
upon another item, such demands are dependent demand. Raw materials and
component inventories are dependent upon the demand for finished goods.
Take the example of car, the car as finished goods is an held produced and
held in inventory as independent demand item, while the raw materials and
components used in the manufacture of the finished goods- Car derives its
demand from the demand for the car and hence is characterized as dependent
demand inventory.
3. Define the concept of decoupling inventory.
% Inventory decoupling is the idea to decouple of different parts of the
production system. It is the inventory shared by two operations to prevent
breakdown or unevenness for machine. It provides a’ cushioning effect in the
face of varying work-rates, and machine breakdowns and failure.

fT Fall Wo. 3] Define ERP
i +s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a method of effective planning of
all the resources in a enterprise or organization. It includes the techniques
and concepts employed for an integrated management of business as a
whole, from the view point of the effective use of resources, to improve
the efficiency and effectiveness of an enterprise.
z Explain independent and dependent demand with suitable
example.
= If the demand of the product is depended with other products then such
demand is known as depended demand. For example demand of tyre is
depended because its demand will be dependent with the demand of
vehicle.
If the demand of the product is depended, other economic variables rather
than other product than such demand is known as independent demand
for example vehicle demand itself.
8. [2019 Fall Q. No. 9] Explain the meaning of MPS (Master Production Schedule).
> The MPS translates the sales and operations plan into a plan for producing
specific products in the future. It reflects the needs of the marketplace and
the capacity of manufacturing and forms a priority plan for manufacturing
to follow. This schedule drives the whole operation in terms of what is
assembled, what is manufactured and what is bought. For example, in a
hospital theatre there is a master schedule which contains a statement of
which surgical procedures are planned and when. This can-be used to
provision materials for, the operations, such as the sterile instruments,
blood and dressings. It also governs the scheduling of staff for, operations,
including anesthetists, nurses and surgeons.

, [2016 Fall Q. No. 8] What is the optimal level of inventory?
aa In logistics, optimal stock refers to the exact amount of inventory a
company needs to meet regular demand without experiencing a stockout.
In other words, it entails maximizing income while reducing storage costs
toa minimum.
40. [2018 Fall Q. No. 4] Explain the role of Master Production Schedule?
x» Amaster production schedule (MPS) outlines what will be produced (i.e.,
the amount of finished products or items) and when it will be produced. A
production strategy must be followed when creating the timetable. The
production plan establishes the total output level in broad terms (e.g,
product families, standard hours, or dollar volume). Financial goals,
consumer demand, engineering capabilities, labor availability, inventory
variations, supplier performance, and other factors are all factored into the
plan.
These are the role of MPS are as follows: :
1, Translating Production Plans: The amount of activities that balance market
demand with material, labor, and equipment capacities is determined
in this section of master production schedule. This is due to the fact
that the master schedule turns the plan into a precise number of items
that must be produced in a specific amount of time. oe
2. Evaluating Alternative Schedule: The master schedule generates trial and
error schedules that show alternate production pathways. This ensures
that any unanticipated production errors are dealt with immediately.
3. Utilization of Capacity: Machine and equipment load -and utilization
requirements are established using master production scheduling
software. This results in maximum capacity utilization and a
significantly more efficient production flow.
41. [2017 Spring Q. No. 7] What are the objectives of MRP?
° Materials requirements planning (MRP) is.a computer based information
system that translates the finished product requirement of the master
schedule into time-phased requirements for sub assemblies, component
Parts ahd raw materials, working backward from the due date using lead
time and other information to determine when and how much order. MRP
Performs its calculations based on the combination of both firm and
forecast orders

Johnson's rile: In’ operations research, Johnson's rule -is a method of
scheduling jobs in two work centers. Its primary objective is to find an
optimal sequence of jobs to reduce makespan (the total amount of time it
s to complete all jobs). It also reduces the amount of idle time between
we two work centers. The method minimizes the makespan in the case of
two work centers, Furthermore, the method finds the shortest makespan
in the case of three work centers if additional constraints are met
Assignment method: The assignment method is any technique used to assign
organizational resources to activities. The best assignment method will
maximize profits, typically through cost controls, increases in efficiency
levels, and Joetter management of bottleneck operations.

||, Operations scheduling is critical to the, success of an organization; —
| ~ trowever, it can be very complicated task. Effective schedules are needed
to meet promised customer delivery dates on inventory targets,
Scheduling involves the allocation of resources over time to accomplish
specific tasks. The number of resources and tasks involved can be very
large, and the implications of one schedule must be gauged against other
schedules. Effective scheduling helps managers achieve the full potential
of their supply chains, Making efficient use of the labour, increasing the
profit, minimizing the inventory, reducing the production cost, increasing
the output, improving the service level are the objectives of operations
scheduling.
5. [2018 Spring Q. No. 8] Outline the different methods of scheduling,
's. These are the methods used for the operations scheduling:
1. Johnson's Two Machine Algorithm: It is Very effective when the operations
sequencing has two machines and the processing time depends on the
sequence in which the jobs are loaded.
Index Method: It is used for the purpose of the loading and also for
allocating the different jobs to the different machines.
Critical Path Analysis: It helps. in the determination of the scheduling of
the activities of the projects.
Critical Ratio Scheduling: It helps in the establishment and the
maintenance of the priorities among the jobs in a factory.
6. [2018 Fall Q. No. 9] Write about the types of scheduling.
™ a are the types of Operations scheduling:
Forward operations scheduling: All the activities are scheduled from the
date of the planned order releases or we can say that It determines
start and finish times of next priority job by assigning it the earliest
equitable time slot and from that time, determines when the job will be

“2. Backward Operations scheduling: Activities are scheduled from the date or
the planned receipt date or what we can say that it determines the start
and finished time for waiting jobs by assigning them to the latest
equitable time slot that will enable each job to be completed just when
itis due but done before.

\! 4. [2010 Spring @. No. 7] Differentiate between backward and forward scheduling,
1% Operation scheduling defines as establishing of times at which to begins
and complete each event or operation comprising a procedure.
‘These are the types of scheduling:
a. Forward Scheduling
bv. Backward Scheduling.
‘These can be explained as
' a Forward Scheduling: Forward scheduling determines start and finished
times of next priority job by assigning it the earliest available time slot
and from that time, determinés when the job will be finished in that
‘work center. In short, it involves starting work as soon as it arrives.
yr Backward Scheduling: Backward scheduling determines the start and
finished time for waiting jobs by assigning them to the latest available
slot that will enable each job to be completed just when it is due, but
done before. In short, it involves starting jobs at the last possible
‘moment to prevent them from being late.
Forward and_ backward scheduling methods are shown in the
following figures.
