C215 Chapter 15 Question and answers verified to pass 2026
1.Infinite loading 1 of 2 work schedule types
A scheduling approach that ignores capacity
constraints.
uses a schedule/prioritized list and assign work
Helps Identify
based on schedule
bottlenecks and uneven workloads
Manufacturing companies use a master production schedule
(MPS) Example service organizations like a law firm
2. Finite loading 2nd type of work schedule
A scheduling approach that recognizes capacity
constraints. Uses start and finish and has a
schedule/prioritized list of jobs assigns work based on
a schedule/prioritized list of jobs utilizes forward &
backward scheduling
develops an operational Schedule with available capacity
3. Forward starts processing when a job is received
schedul-ing
4. Backward Begins scheduling the jobs last activity so that the job is finished on due
sched-uling date
5. Flow operations Processes designed to handle high volume standard products
examples
gasoline, automobiles, appliances, or drivers license renewal

, 8. Gantt Chart A planning control chart designed to graphically show workloads and
tho monitor job progress
9. Load chart A chart that visually shows workload relative to capacity at a resource
10. Progress chart A chart that shows the planned schedule compared to the actual work
11. Due date date which the job is supposed to finish
12. Slack the amount of time a job can be delayed and finish on time
13. input/ a capacity control technique for monitoring the flow of jobs between
output work centers
control
14. input/ examine input report look at deviation of
output
control hours examine output report look at
interpretati
on deviation of hours look at the size of the
backlog
if backlog increases resource is unable to keep up w/ input
if backlog decreases resource is producing more than than input
15. Operation A short term plan of actual jobs to be run in each work center based
se- upon available capacity and priorities
