QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED
A+ GUARANTEED SUCCESS
Six Sigma
A disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects
(driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest
specification limit) in any process - from manufacturing to transactional and from
product to service.
Design Capacity
The theoretical maximum output of a system in a given period under ideal
conditions.
Location Analysis
proximity to customers, transportation, source of labor, community attitude,
proximity to suppliers, and many other factors.
The technique for determining location decisions.
Line Processes
A type of process used to produce a large volume of a standardized product.
■ Limited customization and high volume
Batch Processes
, 2
A type of process used to produce a small number of products in groups or
batches based on customer orders or specifications.
■ High customization moderate volume
Project Processes
A type of process used to make a one-at-a-time product exactly to customer
specifications.
■ Most custom and lowest volume
Continuous Processes
A type of process that operates continually to produce a high volume of a fully
standardized product.
- No customization and as high a volume as possible
Bottleneck
Longest task in the process.
Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)
A type of automated system that combines the flexibility of intermittent
operations with the efficiency of continuous operations.
Output/Input Control
A technique for monitoring the flow of jobs between work centers.
Value-Added
The net increase created during the transformation of inputs into final outputs.
Hybrid Layouts
Layouts that combine characteristics of process and product layouts.
, 3
- Group technology layouts.
- Cell technology layouts.
- Grocery stores use hybrid layouts
Relationship Chart (REL)
Table that reflects opinions of managers with regard to the importance of having
any two departments close together.
Rectilinear Distance
The shortest distance between two locations using north-south and east-west
movements.
From-To Matrix
Table that gives the number of trips or units of product moved between any pair
of departments.
Block Plan
Schematic showing the placement of resources in a facility.
Mean Observed Times
The average of the observation times for each of the work elements.
Normal Time
The mean observed time multiplied by the performance rating factor by the
frequency of occurrence.
Standard Time
The length of time it should take a qualified worker using appropriate process and
tools to complete a specific job, allowing time for personal fatigue and
unavoidable delays.
Just-in-Time (JIT)
A philosophy designed to achieve high-volume production through elimination of
waste and continuous improvement. Based on a "pull" system rather than a
