Radio-Frequency Identification - CORRECT ANSWERS Using electromagnetic
fields to identify and track tags attached to objects.
Capacity - CORRECT ANSWERS A measure of an organization's ability to
provide customers with goods in the amount requested and in a timely manner,
given current resources; the maximum sustainable rate of production.
Capacity Planning - CORRECT ANSWERS Planning an organization's ability to
deliver at capacity; significant capital is usually involved to build facilities and
purchase equipment; require careful consideration of long-term objectives,
current demand, and long-term demand.
Product Mix - CORRECT ANSWERS Different products produced on the same
equipment.
System Capacity - CORRECT ANSWERS The ability of an organization to
produce a sufficient number of goods to meet customer demands.
Department - CORRECT ANSWERS A portion of the production system.
Product Layout - CORRECT ANSWERS A process that is characterized by high
demand for the same or similar products; for example, the process of
continuously producing paper along the supply chain; this system often measures
output as the number of items produced per day.

Process Layout - CORRECT ANSWERS A process that is characterized by the
production of many different products with the same equipment and low volume
for each product; an example is a car repair shop that offer a variety of services;
this system often measures output as completed orders per day.
Design Capacity - CORRECT ANSWERS The maximum achievable output of a
process under ideal conditions for a short period of time.
Effective Capacity - CORRECT ANSWERS The maximum achievable output
given the product mix, equipment changeovers, and downtime.
Capacity Utilization - CORRECT ANSWERS Actual Output / Design Capacity;
used to measure how much capacity is actually being used on an average basis.
Actual Output - CORRECT ANSWERS The effective capacity minus additional
factors that reduce production, such as a fuel stop.
Efficiency - CORRECT ANSWERS Actual Output / Effective Capacity; used to
measure how much effective capacity is being used to achieve output.
Eliyahu Goldratt - CORRECT ANSWERS An Israeli physicist who developed
the Theory of Constraints (TOC).

Theory of Constraints (TOC) - CORRECT ANSWERS A five-step process that
helps a firm optimal throughput by identifying and fixing bottlenecks; includes 1)
finding constraints, 2) exploit the constraints (get at 100% capacity), 3)
subordinate everything else to decision (communicate to everyone), 4) elevate
the constraint (how to increase capacity), and 5) repeat (find a different
bottleneck, for continuous improvement).
Throughput - CORRECT ANSWERS The state where output is as close to the
system capacity as possible.
Facility Location - CORRECT ANSWERS The placement of a facility with
regards to a company's customers, suppliers, and other facilities; should be a
long-term, strategic investment.
Regional Facility Strategy - CORRECT ANSWERS Requires that each
production facility has a defined marketing area that produces a complete line of
products for that area; used when customer convenience is important, or when
transportation costs are high.
Product Facility Strategy - CORRECT ANSWERS One facility is responsible for
producing one product or product line and shipping it throughout the world; good
for expensive, small, specialized products that require many resources to
produce.
Variable Costs - CORRECT ANSWERS Costs which change and can be
adjusted as business conditions change.

Total Costs - CORRECT ANSWERS (Variable Costs per Unit)*(The Number of
Units Produced) + Fixed Costs
Time Value of Money - CORRECT ANSWERS One dollar received today is
worth more than one dollar received at some future point, such as through
investment.
Process Selection - CORRECT ANSWERS Determining the most appropriate
method of completing a task; volume, cost, and profit are three critical elements
when selecting a process.
Volume - CORRECT ANSWERS Applying the appropriate mix of technology to
leverage the organization's workforce.
Leverage - CORRECT ANSWERS Making a workforce more productive using
better tools.
Line Flow Processes - CORRECT ANSWERS Low variety operations; have high
fixed costs and low variable costs.
Continuous Flow - CORRECT ANSWERS Where low-variety units are mixed
and flow together in a high-volume continuous stream, such as oil refining or
processing checks; the main scheduling dilemma stems from knowing the best
time to switch from making one product to another.
