To reduce process throughput time, you might try which of the following actions?

A "process" is any part of an organization that takes inputs and transforms them into outputs that, hopefully, are of greater value to the organization than the original inputs.

Which of the following terms describes the time a unit spends actually being worked on together with the time spent waiting in a queue?

Consider a three sequentially stepped process named as Process A, Process B and Process C.Input comes into Process A.Output form A goes into Process B.Output from B goes into Process C.Output of C is the final output.Suppose that it takes 2 minutes per unit in Process A, 3 minutes per unit in Process B and 1 minute per unit in Process C.Suppose further that Process A receives input at the rate of 30 per hour.Which process will be experiencing starving?

A process flowchart uses which of the following symbols to represent storage areas or queues in a flow diagram?

Inventory turn is the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory value.

Process velocity is the ratio of the total throughput time to the value added time.

A triangle is conventionally used in a process flowchart to represent a storage area or queue.

Buffering in a production process refers to a storage area between stages of production activity where output of a stage is placed prior to being used in a "downstream" stage.

When a make-to-order production process is used, production is based on forecasts.

Process analysis can help answer many important questions such as why change in a process is necessary.

A process flowchart uses which of the following symbols to represent flows of material or customers in a flow diagram?

Inventory turn is a better measure than the total value of inventory for comparative purposes because it is a relative measure.

An advantage of a make-to-stock process is which of the following?

A rectangle is conventionally used in a process flowchart to represent a task or operation.

Job design is defined as the function of specifying the work activities of an individual or group in an organizational setting.

A process flowchart uses symbols to represent which of the following?
