OMIS 338 - CH.8 QUIZZES & ANSWERS
A key difference between a process layout and a product layout is that process layouts
______________________________ - provide more flexibility
_______________________ layouts facilitate the processing of families of parts with
similar processing requirements. The procedure of classifying parts into such families is
called ___________________________ - cellular; group technology
Compared to other type of layouts, fixed-position layouts require
________________________________ - a high level of planning and control
An assembly line with 24 activities is to be balanced. The total amount of time required
for all 24 activities is 36 minutes. The line will operate for 400 minutes per day. The
cycle time (CT) must be _______________ minute(s) to achieve an output rate of 200
units/day. - 2.0
Total idle time is calculated using the equation: - (N)(CT)-∑t
Work centers with a large number of moves between them should be
_________________________________ - located close to one another
__________________________________ is NOT an example of a use of work
measurement. - implementing new work procedures regardless of cost
_________________________ is the expected time required to perform some work
activity at a normal pace, under normal operating conditions, and using a prescribed
method. This can be found using the equation ___________________ - normal time;
OT x PRF
Service organizations that provide highly standardized services, such as a pizza kitchen
or a Chipotle restaurant, tend to use a _______________ type of facility layout. -
product
A(n) ______________________ causes bottlenecks, which limits the throughput of the
entire process. - lack-of-work delay
Cycle time cannot be smaller than the _________________________ , nor can it be
larger than the ________________________ - largest operation time; sum of all
operation times
Job _________________ is the horizontal expansion of the job to give the worker more
variety, whereas job ______________________ is the vertical expansion of job duties
to give the worker more responsibility. - enlargement; enrichment
