Well thought out colors and typefaces help convey a theme or message.
Logos should typically be detailed so that they are unique.
In general, warmer, brighter colors are best to use for background secondary elements that are less important.
Value is most important factor when choosing color.
Increasing the leading allows for text to appear less heavy on a page.
Grids provide a means of consistency and unity to the page design.
Lines of perspective can be used to draw attention to a focal point in a composition. True. According to the author, a cover of a publication should: Visually link to elements inside. Effective flow leads the viewer's eye around the primary elements of the composition. True.
DRP stands for distribution resource planning. Because it sounds so similar to the term MRP (material requirements planning), DRP is often referred to, even in publications, as distribution requirements planning. The less official acronym conversion is more logical because DRP was based upon MRP and uses MRP logic without the BOM or production resources, to push material through the supply network.
DRP is one method of creating the deployment plan. But what is being performed is actually deployment. This is moving the material outbound through the supply chain to the final customer.
DRP is one of the most essential methods in supply chain planning. However, MRP (and DRP), while old, are still the most common methods of performing deployment planning. DRP is one method of creating the deployment plan.
Demand Works Smoothie is an application that can be populated by a spreadsheet. When used in production, Smoothie’s application database is usually populated by an external SQL database. However, the fact that Smoothie can be populated from a spreadsheet makes it an excellent environment for testing and education. Smoothie creates the entire supply network as a series of links in the DRP BOM table. These links connect the supply network locations for the model. Locations, which relate to each other and send or receive material to or from one another, are defined by links in the table.
Deployment is defined as the movement of material from locations “higher” in the supply network to locations “lower” in the supply network. Deployment moves material from one level or echelon of the internal supply network down to the next level. In a typical deployment run, parent locations supply specific child locations, and the assignment of child locations to parent locations is held in a table of the supply planning application. These are the valid location-to-location combinations in the supply network. The layers of parent-to-child locations are referred to as “echelons.”
This comes from working in environments where the only deployment method that is available or used is Distribution Requirements Planning.
In DRP, during the net requirements calculation, the system compares available stock and the scheduled receipts from the supply source with planned independent requirements (forecasts) and incoming sales orders. If there is a material shortage (available stock is less than the quantity required), the system creates an order proposal. — SAP Distribution Resource Planning (PP-SOP-DRP)
