The assignment method of job sequencing is a special case of the transportation method of linear programming.

Statistical fluctuation refers to the normal variation about a mean or average.

Which of the following is not an objective of workcenter scheduling?

The LCFS and Johnson's priority rules are basically the same except LCFS uses due dates as a major determiner of job sequence.

Assume you are sequencing jobs using Johnson's rule. A particular job requires 7 hours to assemble and then is followed by 8 hours in the painting department. Which of the following is where you would schedule this job?

One of the principles of workcenter scheduling is that once started, a job should not be interrupted.

The effects of statistical variations in processing times in a dependent sequence will eventually cancel themselves out due to the law of averages.

The "dollar days" inventory measurement can be used in purchasing to discourage large work-in-process and producing earlier than is needed.

In this type of production, the typical scheduling approach is infinite, forward scheduling of jobs: usually labor-limited, but certain functions may be machine-limited (a heat-treating process or a precision machining center, for example) ; priorities determined by MRP due dates.

According to the theory of constraints, which of the following can be a CCR?

For a high-volume type of manufacturing, which of the following is the typical production scheduling approach?

For a mid-volume type of manufacturing, which of the following is the typical production scheduling approach?

Johnson's rule, a priority rule used in sequencing production jobs, is used only in production situations where we are dealing with one machine or one stage of production activity.

Looking at the loads that are placed on each resource by the products that are scheduled through them is called process flow profiling.

One of the principles of workcenter scheduling is to match workcenter input information to what the worker can actually do.

Which of the following is a tool of shop-floor control?

According to the theory of constraints, which of the following is an operational measurement that can be used to measure the firm's ability to make money?

Using the random order or "whim" priority rule to sequence production jobs means that supervisors or operators select whichever job they feel like running.
