B)finite loading
C)infinite loading
D)batch manufacture

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lot splitting is the process of dividing a single lot into two or more sublots and processing them separately on identical or similar work centers as separate lots. This technique allows for better control of the production process and can help to reduce lead times and improve overall efficiency. Finite loading refers to the process of scheduling work centers so that they are not overloaded, while infinite loading involves scheduling work centers without taking into account their capacity constraints. Batch manufacturing refers to the production of a specific quantity of a product in a single production run. None of these options adequately describe the process of lot splitting.
