SCMN 2150 ACTUAL EXAMS SCRIPT QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔gibson electric guitar - ✔✔example of manufacturing cell
✔✔ford car - ✔✔example of assembly line
✔✔custom built boat (yacht), satellites - ✔✔example of work center
✔✔break-even analysis - ✔✔a basic mathematical technique that allows a comparison
of total costs for different processes; takes the fixed costs and variable costs and finds
the break-even point for which the cost of two or more processes are equal in cost
✔✔break-even analysis - ✔✔Number of units that must be sold in order to produce a
profit of zero (recovers relevant costs)
✔✔assembly line balancing - ✔✔The process of optimizing an assembly line to
minimize costs and maximize gains
✔✔workstation cycle time - ✔✔WCT
✔✔theoretical number of workstations - ✔✔TNW
, ✔✔All stations do roughly the same amount of work to meet customer requirements
Workload is 'smoothed' and balanced
No one overburdened
No one waiting (no bottlenecks)
Operation is efficient - ✔✔5 goals of assembly line balancing
✔✔create precedence diagram - ✔✔specify sequential relationships
✔✔don't exceed WCT - ✔✔Assign tasks, one at a time, to the first workstation until the
sum of the task times is equal to the workstation cycle time
✔✔storage and flow - ✔✔Logistics focuses on ______ and ________ to ensure that
products are in-stock and ready to be delivered when needed
✔✔logistics - ✔✔Provides opportunities for supply chain coordination, collaboration,
and innovation
✔✔spending - ✔✔logistics is a major what area?
✔✔decrease cost per unit
decrease shipment time
win customer loyalty - ✔✔key goals of logistics
✔✔the right products in the right quantities - ✔✔our order control and shipment
planning
✔✔at the right time - ✔✔our flexible delivery and lead times
