- Note- need a correct option without explanation as fast as possible!! The three-stage operations model requires transformation of the input resource into some form of output. Any one 'resource' can be involved at all three stages. True or false? A)True B)Falsearrow_forwardThe bottleneck resource in a process has the least idle time. True or false?a. Trueb. Falsearrow_forwardThe resource with the largest total demand rate is the bottleneck. True or false?a. Trueb. Falsearrow_forward
- A copy machine is available 24 hours a day. On a typical day, the machine produces 100 jobs. Each job takes about 3 minutes on the machine, 2 minutes of which is processing time and 1 minute is setup time (logging in, defining the job). About 20 Percent of the jobs need to be reworked, in which case the setup time and the processing time have to be repeated. The remainder of the time, the equipment is idle. What is the OEE of the equipment? answer:______percentarrow_forwardAn intermittent processing can take the form of batch processing or a a job shop. O a. TRUE Ob FALSEarrow_forwardConsider a process consisting of three resources. Assume there exists unlimited demand for the product, and that all activities are always performed in the following sequence. Resource 1 has a processing time of 6 minutes per unit. Resource 2 has a processing time of 3 minutes per unit. Resource 3 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit. All three resources are staffed by one worker and each worker gets paid $14 per hour. What is the average labor utilization in percentarrow_forward
- Increasing the batch size on a resource with setups always increases the capacity of theresource. True or false?a. True b. Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following activities should be reduced or eliminated in order that manufacturing efficiency increases? Moving time of work-in process materials from one work station to another. None of the above. Amount of time consumed by a laborer to add new features to the product. Training of Laborersarrow_forward. Consider the following three-step assembly operation with quality problems. Allresources are staffed by one employee.• The first resource has a processing time of 7 minutes per unit.• The second resource has a processing time of 6 minutes per unit.• The third resource has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit. With a 40 percentprobability, the flow unit coming out of the third resource has to be reworked. In thatcase, the operations at the second and third resources are repeated. You can assumethat (a) rework always succeeds (i.e., a unit going through the rework loop willalways work after the third resource) and (b) the processing times for units in reworkare the same as for regular units.Where in the process is the bottleneck? What is the capacity of the process?arrow_forward
- . If the takt time increases, the operation requires:a. more workers.b. fewer workers.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a push system and a pull system?(a) A push system favors running a machine, even if there exists no demand for it.(b) In a pull system, the last resource is paced directly by demand.(c) Generally, there will be less inventory in a pull system.(d) All of the abovearrow_forwardConsider a process consisting of three resources. Assume there exists unlimited demand for the product, and that all activities are always performed in the following sequence. Resource 1 has a processing time of 6 minutes per unit. Resource 2 has a processing time of 3 minutes per unit. Resource 3 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit. All three resources are staffed by one worker and each worker gets paid $14 per hour.
