The time required to do a task will vary randomly each time the task is repeated. Unit time will decrease at an increasing rate. Learning will not be transferred from one worker to the next. The reduction in unit time will follow a predictable pattern. 11. A company's production process has an 80 percent learning curve rate. The process has produced 1,000 units to date. A process refinement is estimated to allow a future learning curve rate for the identical product of 75 percent. However, the initial unit made using the new process will take the same amount of time as the initial unit
- 7. produced using the old process. At what point, using the new process, will the production rate exceed the production rate achieved by the old process?

- 8. 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? 42 68 89 47 94 14. Which of the following is a fixed-time-period inventory model? Just-in-time model The EOQ model Periodic system model
- 9. The Q model The least cost method 15. A company is planning for its financing needs and uses the basic fixed-order-quantity inventory model. Which of the following is the total cost (TC) of the inventory given an annual demand of 10,000, setup cost of $32, a holding cost per unit per year of $4, an EOQ of 400 units, and a cost per unit of inventory of $150? None of these $1,501,600 $1,498,200 $499,313 $500,687 A. $1,501,600 Q = 400. Average Inventory = Q/2 = 200. Holding cost/year = $4. Thus, annual holding cost = $800. Annual set-up cost = 10,000/400 = 25 x $32 = 800. Demand x cost per unit = 10,000 x $150 = 1,500,000. Hence, TC = $1,500,000 + 800 + 800 = $1,501,600.
