A basic question in capacity planning is

Which of these factors wouldn't be subtracted from design capacity when calculating effective capacity

A reason for the importance of capacity decisions is that capacity

Which of the following is the case where capacity is measured in terms of inputs

The impact that a significant change in capacity will have on a key vendor is a

Which of the following is a factor that affects service capacity planning

Given the following information, what would efficiency be? 
Effective capacity = 50 units per day
Design capacity = 100 units per day
Actual output = 30 units per day

Capacity planning decisions have both long-term and short-term considerations. Which of the following statements are true? 
(I) Long-term considerations relate to the overall level of capacity.
(II) Short-term considerations relate to the probable variations in capacity requirements.
(III) Short-term considerations determine the "effective capacity."

Capacity in excess of expected demand that is intended to offset uncertainty is a:

Short-term considerations in determining capacity requirements include

Which of the following is not a criterion for developing capacity alternatives?

Short-term considerations in determining capacity requirements include:

Seasonal variations are often easier to deal with in capacity planning than random variations because seasonal variations tend to be:

Production units have an optimal rate of output where:

At the break-even point:

If the output rate is increased but the average unit costs also increase we are experiencing:

When determining the timing and degree of capacity change, one can use the approach of:

The owner of a greenhouse and nursery is considering whether to spend $6,000 to acquire the licensing rights to grow a new variety of rosebush, which she could then sell for $6 each. Per-unit variable cost would be $3.

*Cost in $ thousands.
  

An advantage of a U-shaped production line is that it:

The term computer aided manufacturing (CAM) refers primarily to the use of robotics in process control.

Poor layouts are found in both manufacturing and service organizations.

Which of the following process types would be more likely to be used in the introductory phase of a product's life-cycle?

A manufacturing cell allows the production of a wide-range of very different products.

Which type of processing system tends to produce the most product variety?

As a general rule, continuous processing systems produce products for inventory rather than for customer order.

Which of the following is a primary concern for process selection?

A disadvantage of a product layout can be high in-process inventory costs.

Process layouts feature departments or other functional groupings of personnel or equipment.

The advantages of automation include:
(I) Reduced output variability.
(II) Reduced variable costs.
(III) Machines don't strike or file grievances.
(IV) Machines are always less expensive than human labor.

Process layouts allow greater flexibility in processing than product layouts.

A possible disadvantage of a product layout is an inflexible system.

Intermittent processing can take the form of batch processing or a job shop.

Repetitive processing systems usually produce goods specifically for customer orders rather than for inventory.

Numerically controlled (N/C) machine and some robots are applications of programmable automation.

The design of service layouts, e.g., warehouse and supermarket layouts, focuses on cost minimization and product flow.

Product layouts involve high utilization of labor and equipment.

Avoiding bottlenecks is the primary goal of product design.

Morale problems can be a reason for redesign of a facility layout.

A cafeteria line would be an example of a process focused layout.

Information technology refers to competitive data.

.

A process layout is more susceptible to shutdowns caused by equipment breakdowns than a product layout.

Mismatches between operational capabilities and market demand can have a negative impact on an organization.

Which of the following is not a process commonly considered in making products or delivering services?

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) refers to the use of computers in:

A group of machines including supervisory computer control, automatic material handling, and possibly robots is called:

A group of machines including supervisory computer control, automatic material handling, and possibly robots is called:

An operations strategy for process selection should recognize that:

An operations strategy for process selection should recognize that:

Which one of the following is not considered an important factor in service layout design?

The type of layout in which workers, materials, and equipment are moved to the product as needed is:

Layout design has many objectives, one of which is ______.

A service organization (for example, a hospital) is likely to use a ________ layout because of variability in customer processing requirements.

A product focused, single piece flow, pull production system would be called a:

What is it about continuous processes that make them appropriate for products in the maturity phase of their life-cycle?
