What is the formula to calculate capacity of a process? 1/1

Actual output / actual input

Available time / time utilized

Available time / demand

Available time / processing time

For a manufacturing system in which different tasks are performed in a 1/1

sequence e.g. an assembly line, the capacity of the line is equal to:

The capacity of the last operation

The capacity of the first operation

The process with the lowest capacity

The process with the highest capacity

How can the capacity of a process be increased? ( 2 best answers) 0/2

By reducing the cycle time of the process

By adding resources to the process

By increasing the waiting time for the process

By decreasing the utilization of the process

By increasing the steps of the process

The time required for a product to move all the way through a process or a value 1/1
stream from start to finish is called:

Takt time

Cycle time

Lead time

Up time

Number of products made in a unit time (e.g. an hour or a day) is called: 1/1

Utilization

Flow rate

Productivity

Inventory turnover

What is the formula to calculate utilization of a worker or a machine? 1/1

Time available / time utilized

Time available / cycle time

Time utilized / time available

Time utilized / time not utilized

Which of the following statements are true about the utilization of a resource 2/2
(labor or machine)? (2 best answers)

Utilization can never be greater than 100%

Increasing utilization will decrease productivity

Utilization will decrease if process is standardized

Utilization can be greater than 100%

Utilization can be increased by reducing idle time

Which of the following are bottleneck principles / characteristics? (3 best 3/3

answers)

The bottleneck operation has the lowest utilization

Bottleneck is always a process with changeover time

The capacity of the system depends on the capacity of the bottleneck

Time saved at a nonbottleneck saves the system nothing

Bottleneck should always be the last operation to improve

There can be more than one bottlenecks in the system

Section B 15 of 15 points

The questions in this section are based on the following statement:

There are three tasks performed in a line with the following cycle times (processing times):
Task 1: 2 minutes;
Task 2: 4 minutes;
Task 3: 5 minutes.
The tasks are labor-intensive with one worker at each task.
