Exam 19: Scheduling

Assume there are five jobs (i.e., A, B, C, D and E) that need to be sequenced in a production schedule.The remaining operating time necessary for completion of job A is 3 days (i.e., job A will take 3 more days to complete), B will take 9 days, C will take 6 days, D will take 5 days and E will take 8 days.In what order will these jobs be scheduled if using the SOT priority rule for job sequencing?

A job has 10 days of processing time left to do before completion and today is the 5th day of the month.If the job is due on the 15th day of the month, what is its critical ratio?

Which of the following is a priority rule used to schedule the sequence of jobs in a production operation?

Which of the following is not a function performed in scheduling and controlling an operation?

Which of the following priority rules used in scheduling the sequence of production is calculated as the time remaining before the due date minus the remaining processing time, with the smallest value being run first?

A job has 5 days of processing time left to do before completion and today is the 10th day of the month.If the job is due on the 14th day of the month, what is its critical ratio?

One of the principles of work center scheduling is that, while certainty of standards, routings, and so forth is not entirely possible in a shop, certainty should always be an objective to work towards.

Initiating performance of scheduled work is commonly termed "dispatching" of orders.

Under the STR/OP sequencing priority rule, orders with the jobs with the longest STR/OP are run first.

A backward schedule tells when an order must be started in order to be done by a specific date.

A system that "backward schedules" is designed to determine and report the earliest date an order can be completed.

One of the principles of work center scheduling is that the effectiveness of any shop should be measured by speed of flow through the shop.

One of the principles of work center scheduling is to match work center input information to what the worker can actually do.

Which of the following might be a status and exception report used in shop-floor control?

Which of the following priority rules used in scheduling the sequence of production is calculated as the slack time remaining in the schedule divided by the number of remaining operations, with the smallest value being run first?

A material requirements planning system is an example of which of the following scheduling systems?

For a continuous process type of manufacturing which of the following is the typical production scheduling approach?

Assume there are five jobs (i.e., A, B, C, D and E) that need to be sequenced in a production schedule.The remaining operating time necessary for completion of job A is 4 days (i.e., job A will take 4 more days to complete), B will take 7 days, C will take 8 days, D will take 2 days, and E will take 5 days, which job should be scheduled first if you use the SOT priority rule for job sequencing?

Theoretically, all schedules are feasible when finite loading is used.

Using the random order or "whim" priority rule to sequence production jobs means that supervisors or operators select whichever job they feel like running.
