◉ 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? Answer: All of these choices are correct.
, ◉ Consider a three sequentially stepped process named as Process A,
Process B, and Process C. Input comes into Process A. Output from 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

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
◉ The philosophical leaders of the quality movement, Philip Crosby, W.
Edwards Deming, and Joseph M. Juran, had the same general message
about what it took to achieve outstanding quality. Which of the
following was not part of that message? Answer: Quality is free
