MANG 3402 EXAM 2 WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTION
Product layout - ANSWER machines are arranged in the sequence of
operations needed for production (assembly lines)
assembly line balancing - ANSWER aim is to assign all task to a series of
workstations so that each workstation is synchronized and idle time is
minimized
cycle time (takt time) - ANSWER time between units coming off the end of an
assembly line, max time allowed at each workstation to complete its set of
tasks on a unit
tasks - ANSWER small element of work that cannot be broken down any
further
task time - ANSWER time needed to complete one unit of task by a well
trained worker
cycle/takt - ANSWER steps in line balancing
1. draw a precedence diagram
2. find __/__ time
3. find minimum # of workstations
4. determine efficiences
,fixed position layout - ANSWER product is fixed, more costly, more variety
(ex.- doctors, nurses are performing surgery on a patient, the patient is the
product and it doesn't move doing surgery)
(ex.- construction, the buildings and house stay at the same place while
production process is being provided
-space
-up, up - ANSWER two major problems with fixed position layout are
-limited __ around the product (downtown they often close streets for
construction because not a lot of space)
-idle time goes __, complexity goes __ (complicated)
process oriented layout (department layout) - ANSWER product travels
different paths, based on needs
(ex.- some patients in the hospital might have to go to the lab, then
radiology, then billing, every patient has different paths)
-travel
-scheduling
-bottleneck - ANSWER two major problems with process oriented layout are
-minimize __ cost = frequency up X distance down)
, -__ (popularity, operation hours, process lengths are all different)
-__ (if did lab testing on friday, won't get results to monday, so everything
stops til then)
workcell layout - ANSWER put departments close to each other so the travel
distance becomes shorter and can finish job faster so patients can leave the
hospital
(ex.- start to see a lot of people needing covid testing, so made a drive thru
where all the departments necessary for the testing are all there)
-down
-up
-down
-up - ANSWER advantages to workcell layout are
-travel distance goes __
-lead time goes down, output goes __ (time goes down, people finish faster,
UNO one stop all example in the library), productivity goes up
-space goes __ (space doesn't have to be large, because people finish their
job faster with shorter travel time)
-utilization of machines (labor, material) goes __ (will be used by every
patient coming in, hospital example)
