Which one is False? Select one:

a. "Group technology" can be used to reduce setup cost and time in a JIT conversion.

b. Manufacturing cells in JIT systems process similar parts for a product.

c. A benefit of JIT is the flexibility to handle a mix of products within a short time frame

e. The small lot-sizing policy works well in a situation where both holding costs and setup costs are high.

A Quality Analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are under control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results:

Machine	Measurements
#1	17	15	15	17
#2	16	25	18	25
#3	23	24	23	22

b. 4.33 and 0

c. 4.94 and 0

d. 8.66 and 0

e. 9.88 and 0

The Chair of the Operations Management Department at Quality University wants to construct a _control _chart for determining whether the four instructors teaching the basic P/OM course are under control with regard to the number of students who fail the course. Accordingly, he sampled 100 final grades from last year for each instructor, with the following results:__INSTRUCTORNUMBER OF FAILURESProf. A13Prof. B0Prof. C11Prof. D16What are the .95 (5% alpha risk) upper and lower control limits for the _p_-chart?

d. Attributes are process characteristics that must be measured rather than counted.

e. A _c_-chart is used to monitor the number of defectives in the output of a process.
