Multiple Choice $(2\mathrm{.}5$ points each $=60$ points total$)$

$1)$ In system dynamics, all the following are true except

a$)$ In a balancing $($negative$)$ loop, the system has a limiting factor which tends move the system to

some equilibrium level.

b$)$ Time delays are often non$-$linear.

c$)$ In a negative $($balancing$)$ loop, over time the system will eventually crash $($e$.$g$.$ Housing bubbles$).$

d$)$ In a system, effort placed at a low leverage point will yield small changes to the whole.

$2)$ Assumptions of science include all except:

a$)$ The principle of cause and effect exists.

b$)$ Two theories that predict different outcomes for an experiment can both be correct.

c$)$ Order exists in the universe.

d$)$ An 'objective reality' exists.

e$)$ Limited to topics that can be shown to be falsifiable.

$3)$ A operation uses a process layout, while a

operation uses a product layout.

a$)$ batch, assembly line

b$)$ assembly line, batch

c$)$ job shop, batch

d$)$ continuous, assembly line

$4)$ The most basic and simple type of operation process is:

a$)$ A divergent operation

b$)$ A convergent operation

c$)$ A mixed operation

d$)$ A linear operation

e$)$ None of the above

$5)$ A complete system of quality control:

a$)$ Is defined by critical control points, inspectors, measurements, costs, and other considerations.

b$)$ Involves a zero defects philosophy.

c$)$ Requires a continuous scale for measurement of defects.

d$)$ Must include both variable and attribute measurements.
