◉ A process flowchart uses which of the following symbols to represent
a decision point in a flow diagram? Answer: Diamond
◉ A process flowchart uses which of the following symbols to represent
storage areas or queues in a flow diagram? Answer: inverted triangle
◉ Which of the following production process terms best describes the
situation when activities in a stage of production must stop because there
is no work? Answer: Starving
◉ Which of the following terms describes the time a unit spends
actually being worked on together with the time spent waiting in a
queue? Answer: Flow time
◉ According to Little's law, which of the following ratios is used to find
flow time? Answer: Inventory/Throughput Rate
◉ To reduce process flow time, you might try which of the following
actions?

◉ (Ch. 11 Q. 8) Consider a three sequentially stepped process named as
Process A, Process B and Process C. Input comes into Process A. Output
form A goes into Process B. Output from B goes into Process C. Output
of C is the final output. Suppose that it takes 2 minutes per unit in
Process A, 3 minutes per unit in Process B and 1 minute per unit in
Process C. Suppose further that Process A receives input at the rate of 30
per hour. Where would you place a buffer? Answer: in front of Process
B
◉ (Ch. 11 Q. 9) Consider a three sequentially stepped process named as
Process A, Process B and Process C. Input comes into Process A. Output
form A goes into Process B. Output from B goes into Process C. Output
of C is the final output. Suppose that it takes 2 minutes per unit in
Process A, 3 minutes per unit in Process B and 1 minute per unit in
Process C. Suppose further that Process A receives input at the rate of 30
per hour. Which process will be experiencing starving? Answer: Process
C
◉ (Ch. 11 Q. 10) Consider a three sequentially stepped process named
as Process A, Process B and Process C. Input comes into Process A.
Output form A goes into Process B. Output from B goes into Process C.
Output of C is the final output. Suppose that it takes 2 minutes per unit
in Process A, 3 minutes per unit in Process B and 1 minute per unit in
Process C. What will be maximum steady state output from this system?
Answer: 20 per hour
