This set of Flexible Manufacturing System Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Analysis of Single Model Assembly Lines”.
1. Which of the following is often expressed as an annual quantity?
a) Product Demand
b) Worker Count
c) Human Resource
d) Assembly Part
View Answer
Explanation: The analyzing parameter which is often expressed as an annual quantity is the product demand. It will then be reduced to hourly rate in the production line.
2. Which of the following is the time interval at which the line will be operated?
a) Part Time
b) Cycle Time
c) Moving Time
d) Workflow Time
View Answer
Explanation: The time interval at which the line will be operated is known as Cycle Time. In reality, due to the equipment failure cycle time will be lost and the production rate will be affected.
3. Which of the following is the total time of all work elements that must be performed on the line to make one unit of product?
a) Unit Time
b) Work Available Time
c) Performance Time
d) Work Content Time
View Answer
Explanation: The analyzing parameter which is defined as the total time of all work elements that must be performed on the line to make one unit of product is known as work content time. It is the total amount of time performed on the whole product.
4. Which of the following errors on a production line occur due to the reposition of the worker or unit in each cycle?
a) Repositioning Losses
b) Assembly Losses
c) Top Assembly Losses
d) Bottom Assembly Losses
View Answer
Explanation: The errors on a production line occur due to the reposition of the worker or unit in each cycle is known as Repositioning Losses. It will be generally seen in batch and mixed model line.
5. Which of the following is defined as the time required in performing the task at each station?
a) Comparing Time
b) Starving Time
c) Service Time
d) Flipping Time
View Answer
Explanation: The time required in performing the task at each station is known as service time. It will vary among stations because each station has different workload.
6. Which of the following is a network diagram that indicated the sequence in which all the work elements must be performed?
a) Comparing Diagram
b) Starving Diagram
c) Precedence Diagram
d) Flipping Diagram
View Answer
Explanation: The Network diagram that indicates the sequence in which all the work elements must be performed is known as Precedence diagram. It is the generally used method to graphically represent precedence constraints.
7. The sequence starts from right to left in a precedence network diagram.
a) False
b) True
View Answer
Explanation: The sequence starts from left to right in the precedence network diagram. In this diagram, work elements are represented by nodes and precedence requirements are indicated by arrows.
8. Which is defined as the ratio work content time and total available service time in the line?
a) Roller Efficiency
b) Balance Efficiency
c) Walking Efficiency
d) Dragging Efficiency
View Answer
Explanation: The parameter which is defined as the ratio work content time and total available service time in the line is known as balance efficiency. It optimizes the existing assembly line.
9. Which of the following indicates the amount of time lost due to imperfect balancing as ratio to the total available time?
a) Performance Decay
b) Lost Decay
c) Balance Decay
d) Available Gap
View Answer
Explanation: In an assembly line, the amount of time lost due to imperfect balancing as ratio to the total available time is indicated by balance decay. It is the complement of balance efficiency.
10. Which of the following objective is to distribute the total workload on the assembly line as evenly as possible among the workers?
a) Intermittent Balancing
b) Functional Balancing
c) Line Balancing
d) Drag Balancing
View Answer
Explanation: The process which is to distribute the total workload on the assembly line as evenly as possible among the workers is known as Line balancing. It is primarily done to reduce the workload for the workers.
