7. Respond to the question: “Which is better, MRP or JIT?”
8. The design of the MPC system is influenced by some key features of market demand and product design. Name the key features that will lead to a make-to-stock system and explain the rationale.
9. Market requirements drive the choice of the shop floor system approach. Describe and explain the type of market requirements that would be suitable for an MRP-based system, along the lines of product design, product variety, and product volume per period, product mix changes, and delivery schedule changes.
10. Manufacturing strategy also drives the choice of shop floor system. Describe and explain the strategies that lend themselves to a JIT-based system, from the perspective of WIP, changeover cost, and process choice.
1. Explain how cellular manufacturing represents a flexible manufacturing system.
2. State the four building blocks of lean operations, and explain how fast and simple are the two common threads that run through them.
3. Elaborate on the statement: “The output of the system cannot exceed the output of the bottleneck …show more content…
The theory of constraints has a goal of maximizing flow through the entire system.
6. Refer to the following data for jobs waiting to be processed at a single work center (jobs are shown in order of arrival):

What is the average completion time for the first-come, first-served (FCFS) priority rule schedule? Average job tardiness? Average number of jobs at the center?
