MC Qu. 34 For a high-volume type of manufacturing... For a high-volume type of manufacturing, which of the following is the typical production scheduling approach? Infinite forward scheduling Infinite backward scheduling Finite forward scheduling Assignment method Finite backward scheduling

MC Qu. 54 Which of the following is not one of the... Which of the following is not one of the major functions of shop-floor control? Load machine hours into workstations. Assign a priority to each shop order. Convey shop order status information to the office. Track WIP quantity by location by shop order to accounting. Measure efficiency, utilization, and productivity of manpower and machines.

MC Qu. 48 Which of the following priority rules used... Which of the following priority rules used in scheduling the sequence of production is calculated as the slack time remaining in the schedule divided by the number of remaining operations, with the smallest value being run first? Johnson's LCFS STR/OP FCFS STR

MC Qu. 44 A job has 10 days of processing time left to... A job has 10 days of processing time left to do before completion, and today is the 5th day of the month. If the job is due on the 15th day of the month, what is its critical ratio? - 0.8 0.8 3 1 2

MC Qu. 32 A material requirements planning system is... A material requirements planning system is an example of which of the following scheduling systems? Infinite loading, backward scheduling Finite loading, backward scheduling None of these Infinite loading, forward scheduling Finite loading, forward scheduling

MC Qu. 30 When work is scheduled in detail using the... When work is scheduled in detail using the setup and run time required for each order, it is called which of the following? Johnson's rule Labor-limited Infinite loading Machine-limited Finite loading

MC Qu. 40 Which of the following is not a standard... Which of the following is not a standard measure of schedule performance that can be used to evaluate priority rules? Minimizing idle time of machines or workers Minimizing work-in-process inventory Meeting due dates of customers Minimizing the time a job spends in the process The schedule quality index

MC Qu. 42 Which of the following is a priority rule... Which of the following is a priority rule used to schedule the sequence of jobs in a production operation? Longest slack time first Parts on hand first First on hand first Last complaint first Last-come, first-served

MC Qu. 46 Assume there are five jobs... Assume there are five jobs (i.e., A, B, C, D, and E) that need to be sequenced in a production schedule. The remaining operating time necessary for completion of job A is 3 days (i.e., job A will take 3 more days to complete), B will take 9 days, C will take 6 days, D will take 5 days and E will take 8 days. Which job should be scheduled last if using the SOT priority rule for job sequencing? E C D B A

MC Qu. 52 The assignment method is useful in solving... The assignment method is useful in solving scheduling problems that have which of the following characteristics? The jobs have to go through more than one process. There are n jobs to be distributed to n machines or workers. The objective is to minimize cost and lateness of delivery. Speed and efficiency are important. Each job can only be done on one particular machine.

MC Qu. 38 Which of the following is not an objective... Which of the following is not an objective of work center scheduling? Minimizing work-in-process inventory Meeting due dates Providing time for quality at the source Minimizing lead time Minimizing setup time or cost

MC Qu. 50 Assume you are sequencing jobs using... Assume you are sequencing jobs using Johnson's rule. A particular job requires 3 hours to assemble and then is followed by 2 hours in the painting department. Which of the following is where you would schedule this job? As late as possible in the unfilled job sequence. Does not matter. As early as possible in the unfilled job sequence. Johnson's rule does not apply. The schedule would depend on the due date.

MC Qu. 28 Which of the following is not a way in which... Which of the following is not a way in which a work center can be organized? By product in a flow operation By product in assembly line According to function in a work center configuration As a group technology cell (GT cell) According to function in an assembly line
