Question 8. 8. (TCO 8) When market demands require changing schedules, would MRP or JIT be more difficult to use? Explain your answer in detail. (Points : 25) Question 8. 8. (TCO 8) When market demands require changing schedules, would MRP or JIT be more difficult to use? Explain your answer in detail. (Points : 25) Solution Both MRP and JIT can addapt quicky to market demands when they need to change schedule, however it will take time so it is more difficult to use. MRP and JIT rely heavily on computarized information processing, which that been said depending how fast the information reaches the system it will be implemented on MRP and JIT MRP is based on forecast orders so if the forecast was wrong, it will me more difficult to use but JIT respond to actual orders in the right place..

1. Question 8.14 Suppose the probability distribution for X = number of jobs held during the past
year for students at a school is as follows:
# Jobs (X) 0 1 2 3 4
Probability (p) .14 .37 .29 .15 .05
1.
Find (P(X LE 2), the probability that a randomly selected student held two or fewer jobs during
the past year. (LE means less than or equal too.)
A) 29%
B) 51%
C) 67%
D) 80%
2.
Find the probability that a randomly selected student held either one or two jobs during the past
year.
A) 11%
B) 40%
C) 66%
D) 80%
Solution
1. P(X<2)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)=0.14+0.37=0.51----------B 2. P(X=1 U
X=2)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)=0.37+0.29=0.66----------C
