Question 1

According to the theory of constraints, a non-bottleneck is any resource where capacity is less than the demand placed on it.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 2

Rather than try to adjust the master production schedule to change resource loads, it is more practical to control the flow at each bottleneck or CCR to bring capacities in line.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 3

In a process sequence where a product flows from process A to process B, process B is called the dependent process.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 4

An MRP system can allow for product rejects by building a larger batch than is demanded, but a JIT system cannot tolerate poor quality.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 5

Which of the following is one of Dr.Eli Goldratt's rules of production scheduling for optimized production technology?

Accepted Answer

A) If you lose an hour at a bottleneck, it is better than making scrap. 
B) Do not balance capacity, balance the flow. 
C) Do not allow bottlenecks to govern the flow of the line. 
D) An hour saved at a bottleneck operation is a mirage. 
E) The amount in a process batch should be fixed when the batch is begun and not changed over time or along its route.

Question 10

JIT requires work-in-process when used with kanban so there is inventory to pull.When compared to synchronous manufacturing, this is viewed as a negative aspect of JIT.
