- 4. 6. Which of the following is a characteristic that can be used to guide the design of service systems? Services are all similar. Services cannot be inventoried. Services businesses are inherently entrepreneurial. Even service businesses have internal services. Quality work means quality service. 7. An advantage of a make-to-stock process is which of the following? All units of output are unique. It features rapid delivery of a standard product. It combines the best features of other processes.

- 6. 0.2 hour 0.1 hour None of these 10. An assumption of learning curve theory is which of the following? Organizational learning is not included in learning theory. 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? Before the 100th unit Before the 120th unit Before the 80th unit Before the 50th unit Before the 250th unit 13. 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
- 8. 47 94 14. Which of the following is a fixed-time-period inventory model? Just-in-time model The EOQ model Periodic system model 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
- 9. 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. 16. Which of the following is a principle of work center scheduling?
- 10. Reschedule every day. Once started, a job can and should be finished even if unavoidably interrupted. Assign the first worker to all of the days that require staffing. Achieve certainty in standards and routings. Give work centers less to do then their maximum. 17. Which of the following is a "focusing step" of Dr. Eli Goldratt's theory of constraints?
