Chapter 22S part 2

Question 1

any resource whose capacity is greater than the demand placed on it. it therefore should not be working constantly because it can produce more than is needed

Answer 1

nonbottleneck

Question 2

one whose utilization is close to capacity and could be a bottleneck if it is not scheduled carefully

Answer 2

capacity constrained resource (CCR)

Question 3

5 time components

Answer 3

1. setup time
2. processing time
3. queue time
4. wait time
5. idle time

Question 4

the time that a part spends waiting for a resource to be set up to work on this same part

Answer 4

setup time

Question 5

the time that the part is being processed

Answer 5

processing time

Question 6

the time that a part waits for a resource while the resource is busy with something else

Answer 6

queue time

Question 7

the time thgat a part waits not for a resource but for another part so that they can be assembled together

Answer 7

wait time

Question 8

the unused time; that is the cycle time - the sum of the setup time, processing time, queue time, and wait time

Answer 8

idle time

Question 9

for a bottleneck what time is the greatest

Answer 9

queue time

Question 10

for nonbottleneck what time is the greatest

Answer 10

wait time

Question 11

• better tooling
• higher quality labor
• larger batch sizes
• reduction in setup time

Answer 11

ways to save time on a bottleneck

Question 12

an hour saved at the bottleneck

Answer 12

adds an extra hour to the entire production system

Question 13

strikes the beat that the rest of the system used to function (the control point that is put on the bottleneck since its the best place for control)

Answer 13

drum

Question 14

if not the bottleneck, the best place to set the drum is

Answer 14

a capacity constrined resource (CCR)

Question 15

inventory in front of a bottleneck

Answer 15

buffer/time buffer

Question 16

communication back upstream to A what D had produced so that A provdies only that amount. this keeps inventory from building up

Answer 16

rope

Question 17

is of a batch large enough or small enough to be process in a particular lenght of time

Answer 17

process batch

Question 18

the movement of part of the process batch

Answer 18

transfer batch

Question 19

for bottleneck resources, what batch size is desirable

Answer 19

larger batch sizes

Question 20

this sized batch size give lower work in process inventory and faster product flow

Answer 20

smaller transfer batch

Question 21

this sized batch give longer lead time and higher inventories

Answer 21

larger transfer batches

Question 22

a measurement of the value of inventoru and the time it stays within an area (the total value of inventory * the number of days that inventory spends within a department)

Answer 22

dollar days

Question 23

uses backward scheduling

Answer 23

MRP

Question 24

uses forward scheduling

Answer 24

synchronous manufacturing
