Increase the setup timearrow_forwardThe bottleneck resource in a process has the least idle time. True or false?a. Trueb. Falsearrow_forwardTo find the bottleneck in a process with attrition loss, all we need to do is find theresource with the lowest capacity. True or false?a. Trueb. Falsearrow_forward
- Equivalent units measure the amount of work done during a period, expressed in terms of fully completed units of output. True Falsearrow_forwardThe batch size is cut in half on a resource that has a setup time. What is the likelyimpact on the resource’s capacity?a. Decrease by more than 50 percentb. Decrease by 50 percentc. Decrease by less than 50 percentd. No impactarrow_forwardA 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_forward
- What 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_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? In a factory operating at capacity, every machine and person should be working at the maximum possible rate. One way to increase the effective utilization of a bottleneck is to reduce the number of defective units.arrow_forwardBalancing 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
- It is possible to increase process capacity by balancing a process. True or false?a. Trueb. Falsearrow_forwardIncreasing the batch size on a resource with setups always increases the capacity of theprocess. True or false?a. True b. Falsearrow_forwardBreak-even point is: adding processes to meet the point of changing product demands improving processes to increase throughput the point in dollars or units at which cost equals revenue adding or removing capacity to meet demand the total cost of a process alternativearrow_forward
