Question 2

Which one of the following statements about materials handling is best?

Accepted Answer

A)  Variability in job paths usually means that workers must move materials in open-top containers. 
B)  With line-flow strategy, the flow of materials is very jumbled and does not lend itself to automation. 
C)  With flexible-flow strategy, materials handling is usually accomplished with as little worker intervention as possible. 
D)  Materials-handling processes in which a line-flow strategy exists usually resist automation because each job is unique in the path it follows.

Question 5

Which one of the following statements on an automated guided vehicle (AGV)is NOT true?

Accepted Answer

A)  An AGV is a large, gas-driven truck that allows the operator to move materials efficiently between operations. 
B)  Some AGVs can now efficiently go anywhere as long as there is aisle space and a relatively smooth floor. 
C)  The AGV's ability to route around problems such as production bottlenecks and transportation blockages helps avoid expensive, unpredictable shutdowns. 
D)  AGVs give just-in-time delivery of parts, thus reducing stockpiles of expensive inventories throughout the plant.
