Explanation / Answer

1. Productivity increases when:

Answer: - Option “B” – Inputs decrease while outputs remain the same.

Explanation: - Productivity is nothing but output/inputs. It can be increased by decreasing the input resources and thus maintaining the same output production.

3. Slack time equals:

Answer: - Option “B” – LS - ES

Explanation: - Slack time is calculated by formula Slack = LS (Latest start time) – ES (Earliest start time)

4. The factors involved in location decisions include

Answer: - Option “D” – All of the above

Explanation: - The factors involved in location decisions include foreign exchange, attitudes and labor productivity.

5. System capacity is based on:
