This is a step in a process that is the slowest compared tothe other steps. This step limits the capacity of the process.
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:______percent
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)False

- What is the relationship between the number of kanban cards in a process and theinventory level?a. There is no relationship between the two.b. There never can be more inventory in the process than what was authorized viakanban cards.c. The inventory of the process grows with the square root of the number of kanban cards.d. The inventory of the process can be reduced by adding more kanban cards.arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between a process with rework and a process with scrap?a. Scrap and rework are not related.b. Scrap and rework are sequential processes. First, items are scrapped and then they arereworked.c. A process either has scrap or rework. The two are mutually exclusive. d. Scrap is a special case of rework in which flow units have to repeat all resources in the process up to the defectarrow_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?

- Balancing a process with a fixed sequence of activities will achieve a higher average labor utilization than balancing a process with no fixed sequence of activities. True or False?arrow_forward. A small, privately owned Asian company is producing a private-label soft drink calledYoggo. A bottling line puts the soft drinks into plastic bottles and then packagesthe bottles into boxes holding 10 bottles each. The bottling line is comprised of thefollowing four steps: (1) the bottling machine takes 1 second to fill a bottle, (2) the lidmachine takes 3 seconds to cover the bottle with a lid, (3) a labeling machine takes3 seconds per bottle, and (4) the packaging machine takes 4 seconds to place a bottleinto a box. When a box has been filled with 10 bottles, a worker tending the packagingmachine removes the filled box and replaces it with an empty box. Assume that thetime for the worker to remove a filled box and replace it with an empty box is negligibleand hence does not affect the capacity of the line.
