manufacturing represents a flexible manufacturing system. (Points : 25)
2. (TCO 11) State the four building blocks of lean operations, and explain how fast and simple
are the two common threads that run through them. (Points : 25)
3. (TCO 9) Elaborate on the statement: "The output of the system cannot exceed the output of
the bottleneck operation(s)." (Points : 25)
4. (TCO 4) Differentiate between infinite loading and finite loading as two major approaches

used to load work centers. (Points : 25)

5. (TCO 12) The theory of constraints has a goal of maximizing flow through the entire system.
(Points : 25)
6. (TCO 2) Refer to the following data for jobs waiting to be processed at a single work center
(jobs are shown in order of arrival):
7. (TCO 10) Respond to the question: "Which is better, MRP or JIT?" (Points : 25)
8. (TCO 1) The design of the MPC system is influenced by some key features of market demand
and product design. Name the key features that will lead to an assemble-to-order system and
explain the rationale. (Points : 25)
9. (TCO 6) Market requirements drive the choice of the shop floor system approach. Describe
and explain the type of market requirements that would be suitable for an MRP-based system,
along the lines of product design, product variety, product volume per period, product mix
changes, and delivery schedule changes. (Points : 25)
10. (TCO 10) Manufacturing strategy also drives the choice of shop floor system. Describe and
explain the strategies that lend themselves to a JIT-based system, from the perspective of WIP,
changeover cost, and process choice. (Points : 25)

1. (TCO 4) The two different approaches to load work centers in job-shop scheduling are (Points
: 5)
2. (TCO 2) The priority rule where jobs are processed according to the smallest ratio of due date
to processing time is (Points : 5)
3. (TCO 2) A scheduling rule used for sequencing jobs through two work centers is (Points : 5)
4. (TCO 3) The owner and operator of the local franchise of Handyman, Inc., has four jobs to do
today, shown in the order they were received:.If he uses the first-come, firstserved (FCFS) priority rule to schedule these jobs, what will be the average completion time?
(Points : 5)
5. (TCO 5) The ultimate goal of JIT operations is to have (Points : 5)
6. (TCO 6) Building up an inventory of standard parts or modules instead of immediately
producing the finished end items is the essence of (Points : 5)
7. (TCO 7) A kanban card is used to signal that (Points : 5)

1. (TCO 8) Does cellular manufacturing apply best to repetitive, high-volume product or

nonrepetitive, low-volume product? Explain and give an example. (Points : 25)
2. (TCO 11) Validate or invalidate the statement that although inventories are maintained, the
goal of lean operations is to maintain a minimum of safety stock. (Points : 25)
3. (TCO 9) Elaborate on the statement: "The output of the system cannot exceed the output of
the bottleneck operation(s)." (Points : 25)

4. (TCO 4) Differentiate between infinite loading and finite loading as two major approaches
used to load work centers. (Points : 25)
5. (TCO 12) Explain why batch process helps maximize worker efficiency. (Points : 25)
6. (TCO 2) Refer to the following data for jobs waiting to be processed at a single work center
(jobs are shown in order of arrival):Batch job requires specialized operations
carried out by different workers or group of workers and so there is a need for more
specialization and standardization. What is the schedule sequence using the first-come, firstserved (FCFS) priority rule? (Points : 25)
7. (TCO 10) Respond to the question: "Which is better, MRP or JIT?" (Points : 25)
8. (TCO 1) The design of the MPC system is influenced by some key features of market demand
and product design. Name the key features that will lead to a make-to-stock system and explain
the rationale. (Points : 25)
9. (TCO 6) Market requirements drive the choice of the shop floor system approach. Describe
and explain the type of market requirements that would be suitable for an MRP-based system,
along the lines of product design, product variety, and product volume per period, product mix
changes, and delivery schedule changes. (Points : 25)
10. (TCO 10) Manufacturing strategy also drives the choice of shop floor system. Describe and
explain the strategies that lend themselves to a JIT-based system, from the perspective of WIP,
changeover cost, and process choice. (Points : 25)

BSOP 330 Master Planning Week 7 Why Lean Discussion Question 1 Answer
2. Profits (Y, in hundreds of thousands of dollars) by the regression equation Y = 6.321 +
0.65X. What is your forecast of profit for a store with sales of $25 million? $65 million?
(Points : 30)
3. (TCO 6 and 7) A product is currently made in a job shop, where fixed costs are $4,500
per year and variable cost is $10 per unit. The firm sells the product for $70 per unit.
What is the break-even point for this operation? What is the profit (or loss) on a demand
of 220 units per year? (Points : 30)
4. (TCO 13, 14) XYZ coating company has reviewed four new processes for improving
their coating line. The four processes, labeled A, B, C, and D use different technology
and have different capacities. All the processes have the same level of production and the
lifetime. The four states of nature represent four levels of consumer acceptance of the
firm's products. Values in the table are net present value of future profits in millions of
dollars. Forecasts indicate that there is a 0.4 probability of acceptance level 1, 0.3 chance
of acceptance level 2, 0.6 chance of acceptance level 3, and 0.5 change of acceptance
level 4..Using the criterion of expected monetary value, which production
alternative should be chosen? (Points : 30)
