A fabrication line and an assembly line are both types of repetitive and product-focused layout,but only the fabrication line utilizes workstations.

Assembly line balancing has just been used to solve a product layout problem.Two solutions look especially attractive to the plant managers.Both solutions make the same output per day,and both have the same number of workstations.The managers were going to break the tie by looking at line efficiency,but discovered that both lines had the same efficiency as well.Should they have been surprised at this? Explain.

Which of the following is TRUE of random stocking?

There are three work centers (A,B,and C)behind the financial aid counter at a nearby university.They can each fit into any of three office spaces (1,2,and 3)off the corridor behind the desk.There is no student contact in these areas,only workers.The distance 1-2 is 20 feet,2-3 is 30 feet,and 1-3 is 50 feet.The matrix of work (trips per day)at the three centers are shown in the following table.Remember that each trip must be a round-trip (from 1 to 2 and back,for example). (a)How many possible assignments are there? List them. (b)Calculate the total distance traveled in each of these assignments. (c)Which assignment minimizes distance traveled?

"Having a focused work center is like having a plant within a plant." Discuss.Include in your discussion what conditions make focused work centers appropriate.

A(n)________ addresses flow,allocates space,and responds to customer behavior.

The techniques for addressing the fixed-position layout are complicated by what three factors? What is an alternative strategy to address these?

An assembly line with 11 tasks is to be balanced.The longest task is 2.4 minutes,the shortest task is 0.4 minutes,and the sum of the task times is 18 minutes.The line will operate for 600 minutes per day. (a)Determine the minimum and maximum cycle times. (b)What range of output is theoretically possible for the line? (c)What is the minimum number of stations needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought? (d)What cycle time will provide an output rate of 200 units per day?

Which of the following is NOT one of the requirements of cellular production?

Utilization of the total "cube" is the dominant consideration in office layout.

What design guidelines help retail layouts to maximize customer exposure to products?
