- 1What is a synonym for Flow Rate?Throughput
- 2What is the definition of Flow Rate?The number of flow units going through the process per unit of time.
- 3What is the definition of Flow Time?The time it takes a flow unit to go from the beginning to the end of the process.
- 4What is inventory?The number of flow units in the process at a given moment in time.
- 5What is a flow unit?The principal object that is processed in an operation.
- 6In a process flow diagram, what does a triangle represent?Inventory (flow units waiting)
- 7In a flow diagram, what does an arrow represent?The direction of flow units.
- 8In a process flow diagram, what does a box represent?An activity.
- 9What is the difference between project management and process management?Process management is all about doing things repeatedly
- 10What is a process time?How long a worker spends on a task.
- 11Define Process CapacityCapacity of the bottleneck.
- 12What is the formula for a bottleneck?Process step with the lowest capacity.
- 13What is the definition of Flow Rate?The minimum of demand rate or process capacity.
- 14What is the formula for Utilization?Flow Rate/Capacity
- 15Labor Productivity Measures: What is the formula for Cycle Time?1/Flow Rate
- 16Labor Productivity Measures: What is the formula for Direct Labor Content?Sum of all processing times.
- 17Labor Productivity Measures: What is the formula for Direct Idle Time (assuming one worker per resource)?The sum of differences between Cycle Time and each Processing Time.
- 18Labor Productivity Measures: What is the formula for Average Labor Utilization?= Labor Content
/
Labor Content + Idle Time - 19Labor Productivity Measures: What is the formula for Cost of Direct Labor?Total Wages per Unit of Time
/
Flow Rate per Unit of Time - 20What is the formula for Little's Law?Inventory = Flow Rate * Time
(I = R * T) - 21Given Little's Law, when throughput is held constant, what is the relationship between inventory and flow time?Reducing inventory reduces flow time.
