Which of the following is not true about design of process layouts?

Process design determines the structure of a process-that is,the sequence of operations (the workflow),resources,and controls needed for a particular process.

Repetitive process systems are typically used to produce goods for specific customer orders rather than goods to be held as finished product inventory in anticipation of demand.

A company needs to locate three departments (X,Y,and Z) in the three areas (1,2,and 3) of a new facility.They want to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs,which are expected to be $.50 per load metre moved.An analyst has prepared the following flow and distance matrices: What is the distance (in metres) from area 3 to area 1 of this new facility?

A company needs to locate three departments (X,Y,and Z) in the three areas (1,2,and 3) of a new facility.They want to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs,which are expected to be $.50 per load metre moved.An analyst has prepared the following flow and distance matrices: If the company were to locate departments X,Y,and Z in areas 1,2,and 3,respectively,what would be the total distance (in metres) loads would be moved each week?

Given the following line balance data: What is the maximum sensible cycle time?

The design of factories and the design of warehouses are based on a similar set of factors.

A common goal in designing process layouts is:

A precedence network matrix shows the combination of a product's quantity and variety,and the flexibility of the processes that make it.

A company needs to locate three departments (X,Y,and Z) in the three areas (I,II,and III) of a new facility.They want to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs,which are expected to be $.50 per load per metre moved.An analyst has prepared the following distances and flow matrices: What is the total flow (loads per week) between department Y and department Z?

A disadvantage of automation is that it tends to increase variable costs for repetitive operational tasks.

Process layouts tend to have lower in-process inventories,and higher equipment utilization rates than product layouts.

The type of layout which is used to achieve a smooth and rapid flow of large volumes of standardized goods or services is:

A production line is to be designed for a job with three tasks.The task times are 0.5 minutes,1.8 minutes,and 1.1 minutes.If the necessary cycle time is 1.0 minutes per unit,what is the actual minimum number of workstations possible?

A swim lane diagram is a process map used for which type of process?

A consultant needs to locate four departments-waiting room (W) ,checkup room (c) ,laboratory (L) ,and exercise room (E) -in four areas (I,II,III,IV) of a new facility.He wants to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs associated with the nurses escorting patients,which he expects to be $.10 per patient per metre.He has prepared the following distance and flow matrices: How many different process layouts are possible for this new facility?

Which of the following is not an example of programmable automation?
