While designing a process, we try to ensure that unpleasant experiences such as filling forms or taking shots are located towards the beginning/middle, primarily because:
O It is usually more convenient to complete such tasks early on
None of the above
We do not wish to end on an unpleasant note. The memory of unpleasant experiences stays much longer relative to other kinds of experiences.
O The customer may refuse to do/participate in such unpleasant tasks at the end of the process
With zero inspections
we can know if the process is under control or not.
a.
TRUE
O b. FALSE
With zero inspections we can know that the process is under control.

- A small, privately owned Asian company is producing a private-label soft drink called Yoggo. A bottling line puts the soft drinks into plastic bottles and then packages the bottles into boxes holding 10 bottles each. The bottling line is comprised of the following four steps: (1) the bottling machine takes 1 second to fill a bottle, (2) the lid machine takes 3 seconds to cover the bottle with a lid, (3) a labeling machine takes 3 seconds per bottle, and (4) the packaging machine takes 4 seconds to place a bottle into a box. When a box has been filled with 10 bottles, a worker tending the packaging machine removes the filled box and replaces it with an empty box. Assume that the time for the worker to remove a filled box and replace it with an empty box is negligible and hence does not affect the capacity of the line. Problem data are summarized in the following table.

- A fleet repair center resets its computerized diagnostic system after every 15 trucks to help ensure there are limited major downtimes from system failure. The reset takes 22 minutes on average with a CV of 0.3. Each trucks diagnosis takes 28 minutes on average with a CV of 1.75 not considering the resets. 1. What is the effective process time and its CV? 2. If the reset system is not used, failures will occur after 57 hours on average with an average repair time of 3 hours. The CV of repair time is 0.9. What is the effective process time and its CV? Is the maintenance system beneficial if it prevents breakdowns? Just consider effective processing time parameters. 3. The maintenance program costs $10,000 annually. The average profit per car from the diagnostic service is $75. Assume the service center operates 250 days per year, 10 hours per day. Is the maintenance program economically beneficial? What assumptions are needed?arrow_forwardThe principles of process improvement suggest that an ineffective, inefficient process: O Keeps non-value-adding activities off the critical path Processes workpieces on a FIFO basis Produces products in large batch sizes Produces at the rate of customer demandarrow_forwardProcess Redesign is concerned with increasing the performance of processes without changing the order of activities within the process or fundamentally changing the activities themselves. focuses on eliminating costs works to find ways to eliminate activities within a process. is concerned with improving performance by changing the order of activities or fundamentally changing the activities themselves.arrow_forward
- Hammond Inc. has analyzed the setup time on its computer-controlled lathe. The setup requires changing the type of fixture that holds a part. The average setup time has been 135 minutes, consisting of the following steps: Step Time (in minutes) Turn off machine and remove fixture from lathe 13 Go to tool room with fixture 15 Record replacement of fixture to tool room 18 Return to lathe 20 Clean lathe 17 Return to tool room 20 Record withdrawal of new fixture from tool room 12 Return to lathe 15 Install new fixture and turn on machine 8 Total setup time 138 Why should management be concerned about improving setup time? What do you recommend to Hammond Inc. for improving setup time? How much time would be required for a setup, using your suggestion in (b)?arrow_forwardA machine cycle, commonly referred to as a process loop, is made up of these four individual components. Which aspects of the machine's functioning are most important and why? Should one be worried with the replacement of each individual component that makes up the machine cycle? Does the installation of a second module make it such that switching between them isn't as much of a problem?arrow_forwardThe cost of computer equipment does not include the consultant's fee to supervise installation of the equipment.

- A worker in charge of assembling a bicycle finds a faster way to mount the pedals. Heturns to his supervisor. The supervisor explains that the process had been optimized bythe engineering department and so the worker should make sure to stick with the existing procedures. Which management scholar’s work does this fit best?a. Taylorb. Ohnoc. Womackd. Fujimotoarrow_forwardA service blueprint is best defined as: a process flowchart a process flow chart showing the activity times a flowchart that shows the SERVQUAL differences a flow chart showing failpoints the author discusses poka-yokes as fail-safing devices suitable for services as well as manufacturing. The relationship of poka-yokes to service blueprints is best described as: having been created by the same woman, Lynn Shostack creating poka-yokes for each fail point identified in a service blueprint Having been created by the same company to improve banking services in Japan producing a large amount of personal creativity to increase customer expectationsarrow_forwardA machine makes two components; call them types A and B. It takes 250 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time, no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 second to be completed. The two components, A and B, are combined in an assembly process to make a final product; call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components into 1 unit every 2 seconds, or 30 units per minute. Assume there is ample demand. If the production schedule could be adjusted with the goal of minimizing inventory in the process, how many units of A should be produced before switching to component B? In other words, calculate the optimal batch size for component A. Assume the same number of units of B would be produced as well. answer:_______unitsarrow_forward
