Question $1(4$ points$)$

Just$-$in$-$time $($JIT$)$ does NOT include which one of the following?

Question $1$ options:

Fast$-$throughput manufacturing

Batch sizes of one

High inventory production

Lean manufacturing

Question $2(4$ points$)$

An effective JIT effort should result in decreased

Question $2$ options:

Quality

Throughput

Costs

Delay time

Question $3(4$ points$)$

This action tends to reduce variability during JIT production

Question $3$ options:

Employees, machines, and suppliers produce units$/$parts that do not conform to standards

Production personnel make product before specifications are complete

Engineering drawings are inaccurate

Customer demands are made clear

Question $4(4$ points$)$

Goal of JIT production is

Question $4$ options:

The reduction of only finished goods inventories

The reduction of all inventories

Production in large lot sizes

The reduction of only work$-$in$-$process $($WIP$)$ inventories

Question $5(4$ points$)$

The prime advantage of a JIT production system lies in the

Question $5$ options:

Increased overall inventory levels

Increased production rates

Use of a "pull" rather than a "push" system

Exposure of problems in the production system

Question $6(4$ points$)$

Which of the following is a JIT layout tactic?

Question $6$ options:

Increased distance between workstations so problems are clearly visible

Increased storage space so all work$-$in$-$process $($WIP$)$ can be stored

Decreased flexibility so processes can be done only one way and machines are dedicated to a single product

Sequential operations are adjacent to each other

Question $7(4$ points$)$

Which of the following is a JIT scheduling tactic?

Question $7$ options:

Move goods through the plant in larger batches but produce them in small batches

Level production schedules

Move goods through the plant in smaller batches but produce them in large batches

Question $8(4$ points$)$

A production system in which inventory is "Pulled" through tends to require a larger work$-$in$-$process $($WIP$)$ inventory than a system in which inventory is "pushed" through

Question $8$ options:

True

False

Question $9(4$ points$)$

If a manufacturer can reduce the machine set$-$up time, then it is possible for them to reduce the amount of inventory in the system

Question $9$ options:

True

False

Question $10(4$ points$)$

JIT cannot be used in a service setting $($e$.$g$.$ Healthcare$)$ due to the extreme variability in demand

Question $10$ options:

True

False

Question $11(4$ points$)$

When using Kanban cards

Question $11$ options:

If the producer and user are not in visual contact, a light or empty spot on the floor should be used as a signal

Each Pull station can require only one resupply component

The kanban is only a visual inventory check and not a "build" authorization

The kanban cards provide a direct control on the amount of work$-$in$-$process $($WIP$)$ between cells

Question $12(4$ points$)$

Visibility measures used in JIT would NOT include:

Question $12$ options:

Visual control items such as Kanban cards

Hidden TV cameras to monitor individual staff at work

Product samples, including good and defective items

Displays showing improvement techniques and checklists

Question $13(4$ points$)$

Levelled scheduling $($heijunka$)$ is the Japanese derived term for levelling the production schedule so that:

Question $13$ options:

Mix and quality level are even over time

Mix and yield level are even over time

Volume and yield are even over time

Mix and volume level are even over time

Question $14(4$ points$)$

JIT does not require:

Question $14$ options:

No disruption in production due to quality errors

Dependable supply parts and reliable equipment

Customer demands to be met from production not inventory

Focus on high capacity utilization

Question $15(4$ points$)$

Which of the following statements about JIT is correct?

Question $15$ options:

JIT seeks to reduce inventory in an effort to reduce waste

JIT is NOT useful in the service sector like healthcare

JIT pushes inventory through the operations process

JIT will overcome poor component manufacture

Question $16(4$ points$)$

JIT production implies:

Question $16$ options:

That increased complexity means that scheduling must be controlled using computer based MRP systems

Large batches of similar products will need to be manufactured to increase efficiency

That products will be Pulled through the operations system to meet customer demand

An increase in total inventory to cater for the likelihood of more frequent stock$-$outs

Question $17(4$ points$)$

Which one of the following would not be considered a pre$-$requisite for successful JIT production?

Question $17$ options:

Preventive maintenance of equipment to ensure stability in production

Reliable deliveries of defect$-$
