Question

1. What is the definition of the term “backflush”.

2. A ___________ defines a work sequence of steps and resources required to complete a production order.

3. Providing insufficient capacity will result in a reduction of which of the following?

4. Time remaining/Work remaining

Which of the following statements are true about the simplified priority rule above?

I. The smaller the fraction, the higher the priority.

II. Work remaining can stay constant from day to day.

III. Time remaining can stay constant from day to day.

5. An effective way to REDUCE sequencing or priority problems is to

6 A critical ratio of 0.25 means which of the following?

7. Dispatch lists formalize the rules for determining.

8. Which component of lead time can vary most from order to order?

9.

What is the maximum output per hour of product X? ____________

10.

What would be the INCREMENTAL CHANGE in hourly output of product X if work center E’s capacity dropped from 90 per hour to 45 per hour? (use a number for your answer) _______________ (For example, if the hourly output for product X increased by 20, then the answer is 20, if it decreased by "20", then the answer is "-20")

11.

How much would hourly output improve (INCREMENTALLY) for product X if work center D capacity increased from 50 to 80? (use a number for your answer) ___________

12.

AFTER which work center would you buffer inventory?

13.

What is the buffer QUANTITY associated with the above question assuming that you need to have a 4 hour buffer quantity? _______________

A. The goods issue posting for backflushed components is performed automatically at the time of order completion.

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1- : Option B = Back flush : Backflush is the booking of order in the system, post physically the goods are manufactured and moved for storage or disptach t customers.

Answer 2 : Option C - Routing : The routing is defined as the order of sequence of stations along with their resources required at each station for the prodcution completion in the production line.

Answer 3 : Option A - Invenotry : The insufficient quantity will result in decrease in inventory, as the inventory will not be piled-up due to higher demand than capacity.

Answer 4 : Option B - I and III statements are ture only.

Answer 5 : Option A - For reducing the sequencing or priority problem, the effective way is to reduce the lead time at factor floor, thus this will cretae more capacity and sequencing and priority will no longer be needed.
