A product can seldom be produced using more than one process.

Ted's T-shirts makes custom shirts on equipment that costs $350.The material costs $8 per shirt and sells for $15 per shirt.At the break-even point,what is the total revenue?

A job shop normally produces a customized product using general purpose equipment.

Throughput is the number of units that can be produced per unit of time.

Benny's Bookmarks sells hand-stitched bookmarks at country fairs.His business is doing well.He is investigating buying a stitching machine to allow him to make the bookmarks more efficiently.The current manual method costs $1 per bookmark to stitch.A new machine costs $1000,and it will cost $0.50 to make a bookmark.How many bookmarks must be produced to break even?

The workflow for a process layout tends to follow an organized standard route.

Assembly line balancing is the technique of assigning work to individual stations so that the variability across all stations in an assembly line is maximized.

List three advantages of a process layout.

Identify the five classifications of the product-process matrix.

Briefly describe a job shop with relation to flexibility,unit cost,customer involvement,volume,and capital investment.

Which of the following would be classified as a project?

What is the output in terms of products per hour for a three-step process with an 8-minute cycle time for step 1,a 9-minute cycle time for step 2,and a 10-minute cycle time for step 3?

If 60 seconds are available,and the cycle time is 15 seconds,how many units per minute can be produced?

Which of the following is suitable for low-volume customized product creation?

A service factory generally has lower levels of customer involvement than a service shop.

A break-even analysis can help to determine how many stations to use in an assembly line.

A bottleneck will determine the amount of output of a process.
