Exam 6: A: Process Design and Facility Layout

For output to equal projected demand,what will be the last task performed at the second workstation of the production line which uses the minimum number of workstations?

For output to equal projected demand,what will be the efficiency of the assembly line that uses the minimum number of workstations?

An advantage of a U-shaped production line is:

Given the information above,assign the departments A through I to locations in a 3 x 3 grid,with department E fixed in the lower right-hand corner.

Repetitive production processes produce a high volume of standardized products or services.

Which of the following is a suggestion to improve customer perception in services?

Continuous processing is employed when a customized output is required.

If the company desires that output rate equal demand,what is the last task performed in the first workstation in the balance which uses the minimum number of workstations?

Given the following line balance data: -For eight hours of operating time per day and a desired output rate of 960 units per day,what balance (if any)will yield the minimum number of stations?

Which of the following is associated with service process design rather than the design of manufacturing processes?

For line balancing,cycle time is computed as:

Which of the following is a factor considered in make-or-buy decisions?

What is the total flow (loads per week)between department Y and department Z?

Given the following line balance data: -What is the minimum possible cycle time?

Programmable automation requires less changeover time than flexible automation.

Which term is most closely associated with group technology?

Determine the minimum number of workstations needed for this situation: Operating time is 450 minutes per day. Desired output is 80 units per day. The sum of task times is 56 minutes.

Which of the following is not used to avoid costly shutdowns in product layouts?

If a line is balanced with 90 percent efficiency,the "balance delay" would be:

In general,batch process systems require a more skilled and flexible workforce than job shops because batch processes produce more varied goods and services.
