Work flow nd batch processing Flashcards
1
Q
Work Flow Patterns
A
1)Pure sequential pattern
2)Mixed sequential pattern
2
Q
Starving vs Blocking
A
1) Blocking - upstream limited by downstream opetions
2) Starving - downstream limited by upstream operations
3
Q
Batch processing
A
consists of the processing of work units in finite quantities or amounts.
4
Q
Yield
A
The ratio of good units produced to starting units.
5
Q
Work cell
A
a group of workstations dedicated to the processing of a range of work units
within a given type.
6
Q
Layout of the work cell
A
in-line, U-shaped, loop, and rectangular
7
Q
Hollier algorithm
A
- Develop the From-To chart from part routing data.
- Determine the From-To ratio for each workstation.
- Arrange workstations in order of decreasing From-To ratio.
8
Q
Cross-training
A
workers become trained in more than one job in the work cell
9
Q
Productivity
A
the level of output of a given process relative to the level of input
