A general-purpose machine is less capable than a special-purpose machine in certain tasks but can perform a broader variety of tasks

true

A continuous process indicates production of discrete parts moving from workstation to workstation at a controlled rate

false

A make-to-order firm will work with the customer to design the product and then make it from purchased materials, parts, and components.

false

Break-even analysis can only be used in production equipment decision making when dealing solely with fixed costs, not variable costs

false

Process selection refers to the strategic decision of choosing the volume of output to produce in a manufacturing facility depending upon the way that facility produces

false

The closer the customer is to the customer order decoupling point, the longer it takes the customer to receive the product

false

The essential issue in satisfying customers in the make-to-stock environment is to balance the cost of the finished item against the willingness of the consumer to pay for it.

false

The time needed to respond to a customer's order is called the customer response time

false

Work-center layouts allocate dissimilar machines into cells to work on products that have dissimilar processing requirements

false

A high-level map or diagram of a supply chain process can be useful to understand how materials flows and where inventory is held

true

A project layout is characterized by a high degree of task ordering

true

A project layout is characterized by a relatively low number of production units in comparison with process and product layout formats

true

An example of an assemble-to-order firm is Dell Computer

true

Break-even analysis can be used to help decide whether to perform a task with a special -purpose machine or with a general-purpose machine

true

Engineer-to-order firms will work with the customers to design the product and then make it from purchased materials, parts, and components

true

One difference between an assembly line process flow and a continuous process flow is that on the assembly line the flow is discrete rather than continuous

true

One methodology used to evaluate equipment investment decisions where the investment entails an initial investment, fixed costs, and variable costs is break-even analysis

true

One trade-off illustrated by the product-process matrix is between flexibility and cost

true

Process selection refers to the strategic decision of selecting which kind of production processes to use to produce a product or provide a service

true

The closer the customer is to the customer order decoupling point, the more quickly the customer receives the product

true

The essential issue in satisfying customers in the make-to-stock environment is to balance the level of finished inventory against the level of service to the customer

true

The focus in the make-to-stock environment is on providing finished goods where and when the customers want them

true

The product-process matrix shows the relationship between process structures and product volume and variety characteristics

true

The term "assembly line" refers to progressive assembly linked by some material handling device

true

The volume requirements for the product are one determinant of the choice of which process structure to select

true
