- Which of the following regarding the impact of batch size is WRONG? a. A large batch size increases the total time in a cycle. b. A large batch size introduces more output variation to the process. c. A large batch size generates a high level of inventory. d. A large batch size improves the capacity. But the marginal capacity improvement has a decreasing trend. e. None of the above.arrow_forwardThe resource with the largest total demand rate is the bottleneck. True or false?a. Trueb. Falsearrow_forwardNote- 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_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_forwardIn the Toyota Production System, jidoka refers to:(a) level production, where different models are produced alongside each other on theassembly line.(b) continuous improvement, where workers organize meetings to discuss ways ofimproving the production process.(c) the inventory retrieval system, where parts are replenished only when they are needed.(d) the aggressive reduction of changeover and setup times(e) continuous line-balancing to maximize utilization. (f) the cross-training of workers for a wide range of skills. (g) none of the abovearrow_forwardA Printed Circuit Board (PCB) machine installs integrated circuits onto a board. Before starting to produce a board, the PCB machine requires a 20-minute setup. Once in production, the PCB machine requires only 0.15 minute per board. Assume there is ample demand. Demand for boards occurs at the rate of 2 boards per minute. What is the smallest batch size such that the PCB machine does not constrain the flow rate through the process? answer:_________batch sizearrow_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_forward. The primary purpose of the “Single-Minute Exchange of Die” philosophy is to:a. reduce the setup time for a resource.b. increase the flow rate of a process.c. decrease the utilization of a process.d. eliminate resources that have setup times.arrow_forwardIf the takt time is shorter than the cycle time, the process needs to run faster. True orfalse?a. Trueb. Falsearrow_forward
