Question 1

this manufacturing approach, typically many different end items are made by combining standard components in inventory into many different products.&#10;A)MTS (Make to Stock)&#10;B)ATO (Assemble to Order)&#10;C)ETO (Engineer to Order)&#10;D)JIT (Just in Time)

Accepted Answer

B

Question 2

Which of the following statements would be true regarding the customer experienced lead time in a make-to-order company?&#10;A)It would be shorter than make-to-stock company&#10;B)It would be the same as a make-to-stock company&#10;C)It would be longer than assemble-to-order company&#10;D)It would be shorter than an assemble-to-order company

Accepted Answer

Make-to-order companies typically have longer lead times than assemble-to-order companies because they start production only after an order is received. Make-to-stock companies may have shorter lead times because they produce goods in advance of orders. Therefore, the customer experience lead time in a make-to-order company would be longer than that of an assemble-to-order company.

Question 3

the promotional material for its GG2330 portable bar code scanner, the Yanda Company states that the mean time between failures for the scanner is 400 operating hours. Which of the following dimensions of quality does this indicate?

A)functionality.
B)durability.
C)performance
D)reliability.

D

Accepted Answer

The mean time between failures is a measure of reliability, which refers to the ability of a product to function without failure over time.

Question 4

Which manufacturing process can produce many different product varieties but has a long customer experienced lead time?&#10;A)Line flow&#10;B)Repetitive flow&#10;C)Continuous flow&#10;D)Batch operation

Accepted Answer

Batch operation allows for a large variety of products to be produced, but the setup and cleaning times required for each batch result in a longer lead time for customers.

Question 5

Jones has a VCR which a friend described as being of poor quality since itdoesn't have a remote control.The friend is focusing on what aspect of quality?&#10;A)conformance&#10;B)aesthetics&#10;C)features&#10;D)durability

Accepted Answer

The friend is concerned about the lack of a remote control, which falls under the category of features when it comes to the quality of the VCR.

Question 6

Jones told his friend that his VCR is over 20 years old while most VCRs only last about 10 years. He is focusing on which aspect of quality?&#10;A)features&#10;B)reliability&#10;C)performance&#10;D)durability

Accepted Answer

Jones is focusing on the durability aspect of quality, which refers to the ability of a product to withstand wear, pressure, or damage over a period of time. With his VCR lasting over 20 years, Jones is impressed with the durability of the product.

Question 7

Which of the following process structures can produce highest volume?&#10;A)Job shop&#10;B)Line flow&#10;C)Continuous flow&#10;D)Batch operation

Accepted Answer

Continuous flow process structures are designed for high volume, repetitive production of a few standardized products. The other structures mentioned (job shop, batch operation, and line flow) are better suited for lower volume, higher variety production.

Question 8

Which of the following approaches would typically have the longest customer experienced lead time?&#10;A)MTO&#10;B)PTO&#10;C)MTS&#10;D)ATO

Accepted Answer

MTO or Make-to-order approach typically has the longest customer experienced lead time as it involves producing goods only after receiving an order from the customer. This means that the lead time includes not just the production time but also the time taken for the order to be received, processed and confirmed by the company. In contrast, PTO (Pick-to-order), MTS (Make-to-stock) and ATO (Assemble-to-order) approaches involve pre-producing goods or components based on forecasts, customer demand history or standard configurations, which can help reduce lead times.

Question 9

Which of the following manufacturing approaches would describe most consumer products, such as food, razor blades, over the counter drug, etc?&#10;A)PTO (Procure to order)&#10;B)MTO (Make to order)&#10;C)ATO (Assemble to order)&#10;D)MTS (Make to stock)

Accepted Answer

Consumer products such as food, razor blades, over the counter drugs, etc., are typically produced in large quantities and stocked in warehouses or on store shelves. Therefore, the make to stock (MTS) approach would best describe their manufacturing process.

Question 10

MTS (Make-to-Stock), customer orders are satisfied from?&#10;A)Raw material inventory&#10;B)Work in process inventory&#10;C)Finished goods inventory&#10;D)Supplier inventory

Accepted Answer

In a Make-to-Stock production system, finished goods inventory is built up in anticipation of future customer orders. So, customer orders are satisfied from the finished goods inventory.
