Exam 8: Facility Layout

You have just determined the actual number of workstations that will be used on an assembly line to be 8 using the assembly-line balancing procedure.The cycle time of the line is 10 minutes, and the sum of all that tasks required on the line is 60 minutes.Which of the following is the correct value for the resulting line's efficiency?

As a general rule, manufacturing workstations should not be very close together.

Using the assembly-line balancing procedure, which of the following is the required cycle time in minutes per unit if the daily production time is 480 minutes and the required daily output is 50 units?

What are the main differences between facility layout for manufacturing and for retail service establishments?

A workcenter layout is similar to the basic production layout format of job-shop.

Systematic layout planning is used to design products.

A project layout is characterized by a relatively low number of production units in comparison with workcenter and assembly-line formats.

Using the assembly-line balancing procedure, which of the following is the required cycle time if the production time in minutes per day is 1,440 and the required output per day in units is 2000?

Which of the following is not a step in developing a manufacturing cell layout?

The objective of a mixed-model line layout is to meet the demand for a variety of products and avoid building high inventories.

A manufacturing cell groups identical machines together to work on products having similar shapes and processing requirements.

We would expect to see in a manufacturing cell layout which of the following?

Which of the following is not considered an input to the layout decision in facility layout analysis?

In the design of retail service layouts, the term "ambient conditions" could refer to which of the following?

In the design of retail service layouts, the term "ambient conditions" could refer to which of the following?

Some of the suggestions for a good layout for manufacturing and back-office operations include which of the following?

Which of the following is not a basic type of production layout format?

When balancing an assembly line, which of the following is not a way to reduce the longest task time below the required workstation cycle time?

If the sum of the task times required to produce a product is 45 minutes and the cycle time for the same product is 10 minutes, the theoretical minimum number of workstations is 5 using the assembly-line balancing procedure.

Some of the suggestions for a good layout for face-to-face services include which of the following?
