- hich statement below is True, and which one is False? For the False ones explain why they are incorrect (or what is the correct statement) 3-1) Process imperfections are a result of waste in a process 3-2) Inputs are transformed into outputs of a process through the network of activities, and by the help of the resources and information 3-3) 5 why is a technique through which the current state performance of a process can be measured 3-4) Job shop is a process architecture that allows producing large volumes of standard products 3-5) Operational frontier refers to the position of the best companies in each market in terms of their product attributes 3-6) 5S is a technique for root-cause analysisarrow_forwardIn each of the following, name the term defined or answer the question. Answers are listed at the bottom.1. Goldratt suggests that a production system should be controlled using these three mechanisms.2. A bottleneck should have this placed in front of it to ensure it never runs out of work.3 A rope is used for this purpose in controlling a production system.4. To pace the production system, this is used.5. This is a measure of the value of inventory and the time it stays within an area.arrow_forwardDescribe four potential problems that might develop when operating a large number of processes at the same time.arrow_forward

- What is a poka-yoke? A typical word processing software program (such as Word) is loaded with poka-yokes. List any two of these for a word processing software program. Briefly explain your selections. b) Operations management concepts can be applied to both manufacturing and service operations. It can often be more challenging to apply them in a service operation. Briefly describe at least two of the challenges that a service operation presents for the application of operations management concepts that are not found in a manufacturing operation. ( Explain all question with proper step by step and type the Answer) .arrow_forwardThis four-step process loop is termed a machine cycle. Most individuals prioritise which machine cycle factors? Should I worry about replacing worn machine cycle parts? Can increasing the number of modules simplify switching between them?arrow_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? What is the capacity of the process?arrow_forward
- A fundamental trade-off in the design of any business system is between efficiency and flexibility: one can't have ultimate efficiency and infinite flexibility at the same time. The simplification and standardization required to improve the efficiency of an operation inevitably restrict the things the system can do. In addition, the short-term changes and decisions needed to make an operation more flexible inevitably disrupt the smooth and predictable process flow needed for optimal efficiency. In the readings, you have seen that different system design philosophies and tools tend to generate different balances between efficiency and flexibility, which, in theory, allows you to design a system with the optimal balance between the two. As you have learned, the optimal balance between efficiency and flexibility depends on the competitive environment an organization expects to face in the future. You have also learned in this course that the future is notoriously hard to predict,…arrow_forwardWhich is not considered as a step of process reengineering? a.
