Question 33 (1 point) The main production process in a manufacturing facility involves three steps: Picking raw materials from inventory, Machining, and Assembly. After Assembly, some of the products go to a Tagging area where an RFID tag is attached onto each item, and the others continue straight to Packaging. After the RFID tags are attached, those products are also sent to Packaging. Currently, the overall output rate of the production process is equal to that of the Machining stage. Management has decided to redesign the process by adding a new workstation to the Machining area to double it's capacity, and completely eliminating the Tagging operation. Which of the following is true about the capacity of the redesigned process? The new process capacity is exactly two times larger than the old process capacity The new process capacity must be larger than the old process capacity, but we don't know by how much The new process capacity must be smaller than the old process capacity, but we don't know by how much The new process capacity can be equal to or larger than the old process capacity There isn't enough information to decide Question 34 (1 point) Which of the following statements is true for process capacity? Doubling the capacity of the bottleneck station will halve the total process cycle time The process can operate slower than the bottleneck station if raw materials are constrained The capacity of the bottleneck determines the throughput time for the entire process The process can operate faster than the bottleneck station if raw materials are in abundance A bottleneck in a process can only be caused by tasks or operations Question 35 (1 point) Which of the following products is most suitable for a just-in-time (JIT) production system? A unique luxury product for which demand rarely exists A promotional product whose demand changes dramatically with prices A highly customizable item suitable for batch production in a job shop environment A seasonal sports good with fluctuating demand A key sub-component of many electronic appliances that sees consistent orders
