University of Phoenix:OPS 571 Wk.3 - Apply Week 3 Exam,100% CORRECT

University of Phoenix:OPS 571 Wk.3 - Apply Week 3 Exam 1. The term "freeze window" refers to the practice of building quality into the process and not identifying quality by inspection. 2. According to the theory of constraints, it is wrong for manufacturers to try to match capacity with demand by attempting to balance capacity across a sequence of processes. Unbalanced capacity is better. 3. JIT is typically applied to nonrepetitive manufacturing. 4. JIT requires a stable production level. When compared to synchronous manufacturing, this is viewed as a negative aspect of JIT. 5. In the textbook, Toyota's Fujio Cho identified which of the following types of waste to be eliminated? Multiple Choice 6. In implementing a lean production system, you should work with suppliers to do which of the following? Multiple Choice • Reduce lead times. Correct 7. According to the theory of constraints, a bottleneck is any resource whose capacity is greater than the demand placed on it. 8. Company unions in Japan exist to foster a cooperative relationship with management. 9. Value stream mapping involves materials, not information. 10. According to the theory of constraints, throughput is the rate at which product is passed through the manufacturing system. 11. One of the many lean techniques that have been successfully applied in service firms is leveling facility load. 12. According to the theory of constraints, a non-bottleneck is any resource where capacity is less than the demand placed on it. 13. One of the many lean techniques that have been successfully applied in service firms is the eliminating of unnecessary activities. 14. Applying lean concepts to logistics is difficult unless either the manufacturer or the customer owns the logistics activities. 15. In Japanese manufacturing, automation and robotics are used extensively to perform dull or routine jobs so employees are free to focus on important improvement tasks. 16. Which of the following is a negative aspect of JIT compared to synchronous manufacturing? Multiple Choice 17. The goal of JIT production is to drive all inventory queues lower. 18. Lean production requires a "push and pull" system of inventory replenishment. 19.A way to find a bottleneck is to use one's knowledge of a particular plant, look at the system in operation, and talk with supervisors and workers. 20. Synchronous manufacturing refers to the entire production process working together in harmony to achieve the goals of the firm. True 21. You have been called in as a consultant to set up a Kanban control system. The first thing to do is to determine the number of Kanban card sets needed. Your research shows that the expected demand during lead time for a particular component is 150 per hour. You estimate the safety stock should be set at 25 percent of the demand during lead time. The tote trays used as containers can hold 8 units of stock, and the lead time it takes to replenish an order is 2 hours. Which of the following is the number of Kanban card sets necessary to support this situation. You found that the number of Kanbancards needed is 47. Your client now tells you that they miscalculated the demand and the true demand is 300 per hour. All other things remain the same. What is the most appropriate answer from the choices below? Multiple Choice 22. In setting up a kanban control system you need to determine the number of kanban card sets needed. If the expected demand during lead time is 25 per hour, the safety stock is 20 percent of the demand during lead time, the container size is 5, and the lead time to replenish an order is 5 hours, what the number of kanban card sets is needed? Multiple Choice 34 23. The "dollar days" inventory measurement can be used in purchasing to discourage large work-in-process and producing earlier than is needed. False 24.

Which of the following is the number of Kanban card sets necessary to support this situation? Multiple Choice 25. In a process sequence where a product flows from process A to process B, process B is called the contingent process. False
