- A company is increasing the percentage value-added time in the operation. Its value-addedtime and its flow rate remain unchanged. What will happen to its inventory turns? (Recallfrom Chapter 2 that inventory turns are computed as flow rate divided by inventory.)a. Inventory turns will go up.b. Inventory turns will stay constant.c. Inventory turns will go down.d. Cannot determine from the given informationarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is TRUE? Group of answer choices The bottleneck resource is the one that determines the capacity of a process, and thus its utilization is always 100%. Because there is excess capacity compared to the bottleneck resource, non-bottleneck resource is always under-utilized, and its utilization is less than 100%. The bottleneck resource constrains the flow of the process, and thus the flow rate is always the same as the bottleneck capacity. When process is capacity constrained, utilization tells us by how much demand exceeds capacity. It is always necessary to add more capacity to the bottleneck stage to increase the Flow rate of the process.arrow_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

This helps students learn and succeed. If two tasks cannot be completed simultaneously, then the time spent waiting for the delayed task to begin might be used toward finishing the first task. The individual's productivity is increased and time is better controlled thanks to parallel processing.arrow_forward1. Which of the following statements will hold good in the case of a system with uncertainty in demand for service and in service times? a) When the utilization of resources fall it is an indication of greater efficiency of the service b) It is a good practice to plan for resource utilization levels more than 85% c) Cost of waiting to get serviced is directly proportional to the cost of providing the service d) None of the abovearrow_forward
