A useful tactic for increasing capacity is to redesign a product in order to facilitate more throughput.

The marketing and operations departments typically develop their production and sales plans independently and hope for the best when customers arrive.

Which of the following aggregate planning strategies is known to lower employee morale?

Competition in the 21st century is no longer between companies; it is between supply chains.

Consider the simple 3-station assembly line illustrated below, where the 2 machines at Station 1 are parallel, i.e., the product only needs to go through one of the 2 machines before proceeding to Station 2. What is the throughput time of this process? (Give your answer in minutes)

Accurate medium-range planning increases the likelihood of operating within the limits of a budget.  

Effective capacity is typically larger than design capacity.

Price changes are useful for matching the level of demand to the capacity of a facility.

The Academic Computing Center provide training to students. Assume that the design capacity of the system is 1900 students per semester and that effective capacity equals 85% of design capacity. If the number of students who actually got their training is 1500, what is the efficiency of the system?

The aggregate operations plan should not be updated after it is determined the first time, but should be followed precisely until the end.
