Assume that the design capacity of the academy is $1900$ students per year and that effective capacity equals $90\%$ of design capacity. If the number of young drivers who actually got their driving lessons is $1500,$ what is the efficiency of the academy?

Generally, the objective of the location decision is to maximize the firm's profit.

The ratio of labour cost per day to productivity, in units per day, is the labour cost per unit.

Lists have been developed that rank countries on issues such as "competitiveness" and "corruption."

For a location decision, labour productivity may be important in isolation, but low wage rates are a more important criterion.

The volume of materials is dynamic.

There are too few critical items involved.

There is limited space at virtually all sites.

Takt times at workstations are dynamic.

At different stages of a project, different materials are needed; therefore, different items become critical as the project develops.

Select all the answers that are not true of a focused factory.

It is focused mainly on large machines.

It may be focused only by processing requirements.

It is much like a product facility within an otherwise process facility.

It may be focused in ways other than by product or layout.

It is focused mainly on supplier relations.

Select all the statements that are true.

One drawback of a product$-$oriented layout is that work stoppage at any one point ties up the whole operation.

A product requires $24$ separate tasks, and the sum of those task times is $14$ minutes; if the cycle time is $2$ minutes, then at least $12$ workstations will be needed.

Cycle time is the maximum time that the product is allowed at each workstation.

If the schedule calls for the production of $120$ units per day and $480$ minutes of production time are available per day, the maximum cycle time would be $4$ minutes.

Product$-$oriented layouts tend to have high levels of work$-$in$-$process inventories.

Labour cost and labour availability often drive the location decision in the call centre industry.

Service firms choose locations based, in part, on the revenue potential of a site.

The graphic approach to location break$-$even analysis displays the range of volume over which each location is preferable.

The centre$-$of$-$gravity method finds the location of a centralized facility, such as a distribution centre, that will maximize the organization's revenue.

Select all the statements that are true regarding "proximity" in the location decision.

Manufacturers want to be near customers when their product is bulky, heavy, or fragile.

Clustering among fast food chains occurs because they need to be near their labour supply.

Reduction in bulk is a good reason for a manufacturer to locate near the supplier.

Perishability of raw materials is a good reason for manufacturers to locate near the supplier, not the customer.

Service organizations find that proximity to supplier is the most critical primary location factor.

One guideline for determining the arrangement and space allocation of a retail store is to place high$-$impulse and high$-$margin items such as housewares and beauty aids in prominent locations.

A process$-$oriented layout is the traditional way to support a product differentiation strategy.

Cross$-$docking processes items as they are received, rather than placing them in storage; this helps explain why "warehouses" are now called "distribution centers."

The dominant problem associated with the fixed$-$position layout is that workers are fixed in position, and cannot be reassigned.

Process$-$oriented layouts typically have low levels of work$-$in$-$process inventory.

Select all the statements that typically are not an assumption for Break$-$even analysis.

revenues increase in direct proportion to the volume of production, while costs increase at a decreasing rate as production volume increases.

costs generally increase, but revenues can increase or decrease with the output.

revenues increase at a decreasing rate as production volume increases because of the need to give quantity discounts.

both costs and revenues are made up of fixed and variable portions.

variable costs and revenues increase in direct proportion to the volume of production.
