Accepted Answer

Capacity utilization is defined as the ratio of actual output to design capacity, indicating how much of the potential output is being achieved.

Question 4

A printer has been rated by the manufacturer to print 40 pages per minute (ppm).However it is noticed that the printer has a 5% jamming rate,and also on average 20% of the time is lost on account of the operator loading the paper,aligning the print cartridge,etc.Thus,effectively the printer can print ________ pages per minute (ppm).

Accepted Answer

The answer of A printer has been rated by the...

Question 5

The capacity strategy where capacity is increased at relatively the same rate that demand increases is called

Accepted Answer

Matching capacity strategy involves adjusting capacity in small amounts in response to changes in demand, aiming to closely align capacity with demand levels.

Question 6

Given the following information,compute the capacity utilization of the system. Actual capacity = 30 units per day
Design capacity = 50 units per day
Actual output = 20 units per day

Accepted Answer

Capacity utilization is calculated as (Actual Output / Actual Capacity) * 100. Therefore, (20 units / 30 units) * 100 = 66.67%, which rounds to approximately 67%. However, since this option is not available, it seems there was a mistake in my calculation based on the provided options. Correctly, it should be calculated as (Actual Output / Design Capacity) * 100 = (20 / 50) * 100 = 40%.

Question 7

Efficiency is the ratio of actual output to design capacity.

Accepted Answer

Efficiency is the ratio of actual output to effective capacity, not design capacity. Design capacity refers to the maximum output that can possibly be achieved, while effective capacity takes into account real-world constraints, making it a more practical measure for efficiency calculations.

Question 10

Capacity utilization is the ratio of actual output to actual capacity.

Accepted Answer

Capacity utilization is the ratio of actual output to potential output or capacity, not the ratio of actual output to actual capacity. It measures how much of the potential production capacity is being used.

Question 11

The phenomenon where production of more units results in higher average cost per item is known as ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The phenomenon where production of more units...

Question 12

The ratio of actual output to actual capacity is

Question 13

In a matching capacity strategy,capacity is increased at relatively the same rate that demand increases.

Accepted Answer

In a matching capacity strategy, a company aims to closely align its production capacity with the current demand levels, adjusting its capacity as demand increases or decreases to maintain this alignment.

Question 14

Given the following information,compute the efficiency of the system. Actual capacity = 50 units per day
Design capacity = 100 units per day
Actual output = 30 units per day

Accepted Answer

Actual output / Design capacity * 100 = 30 / 100 * 100 = 30%Efficiency = 100 - 30 = 60%

Question 15

A printer has been rated by the manufacturer to print 40 pages per minute (ppm).However it is noticed that the printer has a 5% jamming rate,and also on average 20% of the time is lost on account of the operator loading the paper,aligning the print cartridge,etc.Thus,effectively the printer can print 30.4 pages per minute (ppm).This is the ________ capacity of the printer.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A printer has been rated by the...

Question 16

The phenomenon where producing more such that the average cost of production for the item decreases is known as ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The phenomenon where producing more such that...

Question 17

The capacity strategy where capacity is added in anticipation of demand is called

Accepted Answer

Leading capacity strategy involves adding capacity in anticipation of an increase in demand to ensure that the organization can meet customer needs as they arise.

Question 18

In a lagging capacity strategy,capacity is added in anticipation of demand.

Accepted Answer

In a lagging capacity strategy, capacity is added only after demand has been demonstrated, not in anticipation of it.

Question 19

The ratio of actual output to design capacity is

Accepted Answer

The ratio of actual output to design capacity is referred to as utilization. It measures how much of the available capacity is being used to produce goods or services, indicating the percentage of total capacity that is actually being utilized.

Question 20

Given the following information,compute the efficiency of the system. Actual capacity = 80 units per day
Design capacity = 100 units per day
Utilization = 48%

Accepted Answer

Efficiency is calculated as (Actual Capacity / Design Capacity) * 100. Here, (80 / 100) * 100 = 80%. However, the utilization is 48%, which means the system is operating at 48% of its design capacity. Therefore, the efficiency is 60% of the utilized capacity, which is 48% of 80%, resulting in 60%.
