1. Capacity is directly related to: (Choose all that apply): output, machines, time, processes
2. Equipment utilization is normally expressed as a percentage of design capac-
ity.: true.
3. Which of these in not an approach to capacity planning?: forecasting.
4. "Economies of scale" means that large factories operating a planned capacity
are able to make many different products at the same time and promise short
delivery times.: false.
5. Foundries owe much of their success to:: flexibility.
6. Benefits received from "economies of scale" include: (Choose all that apply)-
: price discounts due to volume purchases of materials and supplies, lower cost per unit produced, the more you do
something the better you get at it.
7. "Time between completions" is the fundamental basis of a capacity calcula-
tion: true.
8. To get capacity from time between completions you do which mathematical
operation?: take the inverse.
9. Which of the following are required for a capacity calculation (choose all that
apply): time between process starts, time between process completions, and length of the time horizon in question.
10. Breakeven analysis is a way to compare the total costs of multiple options.-
: true.
11. A breakeven analysis of multiple options requires which things (choose all
that apply)?: fixed cost for each option and variable cost for each option.
12. The point at which the costs of two options are equal, or that a system
changes from losing to making money is called:: breakeven point.
