Effectiveness is measured by _____.
A) machine utilization
B)throughput time
C) the number of bottlenecks in a process
D) labor utilization
Ans B
The machine utilization and labor utilization are linked to efficiency. It means that overall utilization of machine or labor. Effectiveness means the good output from the process. It includes process time, inspection time, wait time, movement time. Thus, considers overall parameters for good output from a process

is an approach for addressing bottlenecks in a process or system. A. Utilization B. Breakeven Analysis C. Capacity Planning D. Statistical Process Control E. Constraint Management
Professional organizations can be effectively measured by a) assets utilization ratio; b) number of hours; c) number of units sold; d)return on assets
All of the following align to the constraint theory that deals with bottlenecks, except _______________? A. the focus of the organization should be at the bottlenecks B. safety stock or inventory should be kept at bottleneck workstations to ensure to maximize resource utilization C. idle work is acceptable, if there is no work to do D. None of the Above E. All of the Above
The forwarding throughput is defined to be the maximum number of packets forwarded per unit time. Suppose the memory bandwidth is B Bytes/second, and packets are of size L bytes. For a switching fabric performing switching viz memory, determine the forwarding throughput. Show steps clearly.
For the following problems compute (a) utilization, (b) average time a customer waits in the queue, (c) average number of customers waiting in the queue, (d) average number of customers in service, (e) the average time a customer spends in the system. Problem 1. An average of 10 cars per hour (with variance 4) arrives at a single-server drive-in teller. Assume that the average service time for each customer is 5.5 minutes (with variance 5). Problem 2. Customers arrive to...
Problem 4- Resource Utilization (16 points) Consider a demand-paged computer system using a virtual memory management o do only main memory and disk for paging. Suppose the organization running this system can one of the following actions at the present time: afforn policy for (a) Get a faster CPU (b) Get a faster paging disk (c) Decrease the degree of multiprogramming (d) Increase the degree of multiprogramming m was measured to determine the utilization of the CPU and paging disk....
Currently, a production process with multiple stages and multiple machines at each stage is producing larger orders in single batches. Each stage is facing some setup time and some pure processing time. If they decide to split up the larger orders in several smaller batches (i.e., no more batches than machines at the stage with the lowest number of machines), then what would be the most likely result, keeping everything else equal? For purposes of this question assume utilization remains...
1. Consider a demand-paging system with the following time-measured utilizations: CPU utilization 20% Paging disk 5% Other I/O devices 97% Indicate which will improve system utilization and explain your answer. a. Install a faster CPU . b. Install a bigger paging disk. c. Increase the degree of multiprogramming. d. Decrease the degree of multiprogramming. e. Install more main memory. f. Install a faster hard disk or multiple controllers with multiple hard disks. g. Add prepaging to the page-fetch algorithms....
A paint manufacturing company produces three paint bases of differing quality. Due to throughput limitations (measured in gallons) at their facility, they are unable to meet total demand for their products. In determining which of their products they should produce, what should they consider? Select one: O a. The gross profit per unit for each product o b. The operating margin per unit for each product C. The contribution margin per gallon of throughput for each product O d. None...
Station B1 Run Time = 80 sec/unit C/O = 0 Station A Station C Run time = 35 sec/unit C/O = 0 Run Time = 38 sec/unit C/O = 0 Station B2 Run Time = 80 sec/unit ninen For the process shown above, calculate the labor utilization rates. Assume there is one worker at each station: N = 2 N = 6 N = 12 N = 12 Labor utilization rates (round to one decimal place) 95.6 % D%
