process is churning out items within the predetermined range. Statistical process control Organizational learning Cyclical strategic scheduling Event simulation 5. Identify a disadvantage of pure projects. The project manager has no authority over the project. Equipment and people are not shared across projects. A lot of time is consumed while making decisions. Lines of communication are lengthened. 6
Define lead time. It is the time required to position inventory in the supply chain. It is the time required to produce a variety of products typically at lower volume levels. It is the time required to achieve high customer service with minimum levels of inventory
investment. It is the time required to attend to a customer order. 7

tim Cycle time A learning curve Service rate A Poisson distribution 8
__________ is responsible for scheduling, dispatching, monitoring, and regulating production on the
shop floor. ABC classification Manufacturing execution system Enterprise resource planning P-model 9. __________ Utilization is the ratio between the actual amount of time a resource is activated for and
the total amount of time the resource is available for use. Service rate Pacing Utilization Lead time 10
Define preventive maintenance. It is the periodic inspection and repair of equipment to avoid breakdowns. It is the grouping of similar parts and processes into a specialized workcell. It is the emphasis of getting a product or a process right the first time. It is the improvement that stems from both a person’s experience and the changes in
equipment, product design, and administration. 11. __________ determines the amount of inventory, which includes parts, components, and materials,
necessary to produce a product. Material requirements planning Break-even analysis Dynamic programming GAP analysis
12. Identify a disadvantage of implementing group technology in a firm. The workers must be flexible enough to run several machines and processes. The waiting time between operations is increased. The number of employees required for a process increases exponentially. It increases inventory. 13
Identify the true statements about the learning curve theory. A drawback of the learning curve theory is that the performance can be measured only in terms
of time per unit. In a learning curve, the time for task completion will increase each time the task is undertaken. In a learning curve, the reduction in time will be unpredictable. It assumes that the unit time for a task will decrease at a decreasing rate. 14
In a __________, the product remains in a specific location and the equipment, labor, and material
required for the product are gathered to the specific location. functional layout workcenter manufacturing cell project layout 15
__________ refers to the integrated activities designed to achieve high quality and high levels of
production with minimal inventories of raw materials and to eliminate wastes. The Shingo system Process mapping Lean production Kanban system 16
According to Goldratt’s definition, __________ is the rate at which cash is generated by production
through sales. productivity throughput cash flow expediting 17
A shopkeeper purchases raw materials to manufacture souvenirs for a local event that happens once
every five years. In this case, identify the model that the shopkeeper is most likely to use to maintain
stock. Fixed–time period model Lot sizing model Fixed–order quantity model Single-period model 18. The main objective of the aggregate operations plan is to: minimize the cost of resources necessary to meet demand . achieve better integration between suppliers and manufacturers. keep demand and supply in balance. determine future demand with the help of past data. 19. A pharmaceutical company keeps detailed documentation of its inventory. The company replenishes
its inventory whenever the inventory level falls below a certain limit and there is a threat of a stockout.
This company is most likely using a __________ model. fixed–order quantity fixed–time period regression single-period 20
Define customer order decoupling point. It involves the analysis of current business data to better solve business problems using
mathematical calculations. It is the time required to attend a customer order. It illustrates the method by which a company’s strategy is delivered through a set of supporting
activities. It is the positioning of inventory in a supply chain. 21
A manufacturing firm efficiently assembles an airplane by bringing all the necessary raw materials, parts,
and equipment to a central location. This scenario illustrates a __________. functional layout project layout workcenter manufacturing cell 22
Identify an advantage of pure projects. Team pride, motivation, and commitment are high. Organizational goals and policies are upheld. Duplication of resources is eliminated. Team members have authority over the project. 23. __________ are used for decisions that are related to aggregate and strategy demand. Periodic review systems P-models Process assessments Strategic forecasts 24
Identify a true statement about water transportation mode. Moving high volumes of products is costly. It can handle a high capacity of materials. It is a highly specialized mode of transport limited to the delivery of gases. Fast transit times can be achieved in this mode of transportation. 25
Rachel performs an analysis in which she analyzes the performance of the clients of her organization
relative to the expectations of the client’s customers. In this scenario, Rachel is most likely using a
__________. gap analysis bar chart Pareto analysis Gantt chart 26
The manager of a shop floor schedules production based on the equipment that are used in the process
as a key resource. In this case, the manager is most likely using a __________. labor-limited process machine-limited process backward scheduling forward scheduling 27
Identify a true statement about services. A service has physical dimensions. A service is a tangible process. A service has very limited or no customer interaction. A service is inherently heterogeneous 28
Define waste reduction. It is the integration of activities to increase the customer value of a process. It is the optimization of the rate at which cash is generated by production through sales. It is the process of combining the concept of cross-docking and consolidation. It is the elimination of non–value-adding activities and the optimization of value-adding
activities that are part of a process. 29
Identify a true statement about an operations consulting process. It takes a longer time than general management consulting to yield results that can be
measured. Its results are immediately measurable. Unlike general management consulting, operations consulting does not require extensive
interviewing of employees. It leads to changes in attitudes and culture of an organization. 30. __________ is the design, operation, and improvement of the processes that create and deliver a
company’s essential products and services. Operations and supply chain management Aggregate sales and operations planning Inventory control Product routing
