26.The average work-in-progress inventory (WIP) is 5.25 units

True

False

27.If you were to buy one more resource to improve the throughput of the line, you would buy one for Assembly

True

False

28.When an additional resource is purchased for the bottleneck to improve the throughput of the line, the new bottleneck will be Material Release and the lines new throughput will now be 7.5 units/hr

QUESTION 23 Problem 3: Consider the following manufacturing line that produces a laptop and consists of 5 processes starting from "Material Release", "Assembly", "Initial Test", "Final Test" and "Package". There are two parallel lines for "Assembly", "Initial Test" and "Package" (representing two resources for each process) Assembly Package Initial Test 8 min/unit 12 min/unit 10 min/unit Final Test Material Release 4 min/unit 8 min/unit Assembly Initial Package Test 12 min/unit 8 min/unit 10 min/unit
