Operations managers are finding online
auctions a fertile area for disposing of
discontinued inventory.
The key to effective supply chain
management is to get many suppliers to
compete with each other, in order to drive
down prices.
Even though a firm may have a low cost
strategy, supply chain strategy can select
suppliers primarily on response or
differentiation.
Vertical integration, whether forward or
backward, requires the firm to become
more specialized.
A fast-food retailer that acquired a spice
manufacturer would be practicing
backward integration.
Utilization is the number of units a facility
can hold, receive, store, or produce in a
period of time.
Capacity decisions are based on
technological concerns, not demand
forecasts.
A decrease in output as long as resource
use decreases at a greater rate leads to an
increase in productivity.
Without productivity improvement,
businesses do not survive in a global
economy.
Our view of productivity must be toward
improving the productivity of all the factors
of production.
The most common tactic to arrange
departments in a process-oriented layout is
to minimize material handling costs.
The goal of a human resource strategy is to
manage labor and design jobs so people
are effectively and efficiently utilized.
Maintaining a stable workforce generally
results in the firm paying higher wages
than a firm that follows demand.
The physical environment in which
employees work may affect the quality of
work life, but it does not affect their
performance and safety.
Outsourcing is a form of specialization that
allows the outsourcing firm to focus on its
critical success factors.
A major challenge in inventory
management is to maintain a balance
between inventory investment and
customer service.
Short-term scheduling is important to
efficiency and to cost reduction, but its
impact is not of strategic importance.
The benefits of effective scheduling include
lower cost, faster delivery, and dependable
delivery.
In forward scheduling, jobs are scheduled as
late as possible within the time allowed by
the customer due dates.
One criterion for developing effective
schedules is minimizing completion time.
“First come first served” is a shop floor
dispatching (sequencing) rule that relates
the time available to complete a job to the
amount of work left to be completed.
An optimal maintenance policy strikes a
balance between the costs of breakdown
and preventive maintenance so that the
total cost of maintenance is at a minimum.
23. Preventive maintenance is nothing more
than keeping the equipment and
machinery running.
24. Intermittent processes are organized
around processes.
25. Finite capacity scheduling allows virtually
instantaneous changes by operators, which
is the technique's primary advantage over
rule-based scheduling.

The way materials flow through different
organizations from the raw material
supplier to the finished goods consumer.
Systematic process for determining which
goods, in what quantity, at which location,
and when are required in meeting
anticipated demand.
This is referred to as the number of steps in
service process.
Identifies problems such as insufficient or
excessive capacity or any issues that
prevents the order from being completed
on time.
Which scheduling technique should be
employed when due dates are important
for a job order?
What is an aid used to monitor jobs in
process?
An approach to sequencing that can
handle the situation where jobs must pass
through two or more work centers in a
fixed sequence is _________.
____________ consists of all activities
involved in keeping a system's equipment
in working order.
____________ is the probability that a
machine part or product will function
properly for a specified time under stated
condition.
An order-sequencing rule wherein the next
job to process is the one with the least [time
to due date divided by total remaining
processing time] among the waiting jobs.
An approach to sequencing that can
handle the situation where jobs must pass
through two or more work centers in
a fixed sequence is _________.
The process strategy that is organized
around processes to facilitate low-volume,
high-variety processes is called a(n)
________________.
These are any commodities used directly or
indirectly in producing a product or service.
This is the shipment of finished goods
through the distribution system to
customers.
These are previously-placed orders that are
expected to arrive in a given week.
An ongoing (daily or weekly) physical
counting of different SKUs.
_____ identifies problems such as insufficient
or excessive capacity or any issues that
prevents the order from being completed
on time.
These are the costs of changing a processing
step in a production system over from one
job to another.
