PROBLEM
1. Hinge Manufacturing Company employs a Kanban system
for a component part. The daily demand is 900 hinges. Each container has a wait
time of 0.05/day, and a processing time of 0.37 days. The Container size is 60
hinges and the safety factor (a) is 10%.
2. A manufacturer of
automobile engines is designing a new Kanban system for engine #321. The demand
for #321 is 75/day and they are built in groups of 8. The total process and
wait time is 3 days. The manager wants an alpha (a) of 2 or 200%. How many Kanbans are required?
3.
A company is using Kanban containers. There are two adjacent work centers, a
downstream (using) and an upstream (producing) one. The using work center has a
production rate of 200 parts per day and each container holds 20 parts. It
takes .5 days for a container to make the entire cycle from the time it leaves
the upstream center until it is returned, filled with production, and leaves
again. The manager wants a safety factor (a) of
20%. The company is interested in reducing the number of containers.
4.
A company is using a Kanban system with 2 containers, each holding 50 parts,
between a downstream (using) and an upstream (producing) work center. The using
work center can handle 250 jobs per day. The average elapsed time for the
entire cycle is currently .25 days. The company is concerned with the safety
factor for the operation and the size of the containers.
5.
A manufacturing company is using a two-container Kanban system between a
downstream (using) and an upstream (producing) work center. Each container
holds 25 parts. The using work center can handle 100 parts per day. The average
elapsed time for the entire cycle is currently .40 days. The company is
concerned about the efficiency of the operation.
TRUE/FALSE
1. Because the preparation of annual reports is done on
a repeating basis, project management techniques are not appropriate.
2. Project management
objectives revolved around on-time and budget performance.
3. A statement of work would
be developed in the "Organize" step of the project life cycle.
4. Project managers need to
be specialists, not generalists.
5. In most organizations,
projects cut across organizational boundaries, making it difficult to implement
projects exclusively within functional departments.
MULTIPLE CHOICE

defined as follows: (i) path A-B-C-H to install street lights and electrical
wiring that takes 16 days, (ii) path A-D-E-H to install sidewalks with handicap
capabilities that takes 22 days, and (iii) path A-F-G-H to repave the street
including storm drains that takes 30 days. Which one of the following
statements is true?
2.
A project has three paths. A-B-C has a length of 25 days. A-D-C has a length of
15 days. Finally, A-E-C has a length of 20 days. Which one of the following
statements is true?
3.
Which of the following is not considered a project?
4.
Which of the following is not a stage in the project life cycle?
5.
In which stage in the project life cycle would critical path calculations be
performed?
6.
In which stage in the project life cycle would crashing likely be performed?
7.
In which stage in the project life cycle would a Gantt chart be used?
SHORT ANSWER
