Q. 1. What is the system view of operations
Management? Identify the input, process and output for the following production
systems.
Answer:A System is a group of interrelated items in
which no item studied in isolation will act in the same way as it would in the
system. A system is divided into a series of parts or subsystems, and any
system is a part of a larger system. The system’s boundary defines what is
inside the system and what is outside. A system’s environment is everything
outside the system boundary that may have an impact on the behaviour of the
system. A system’s inputs are the physical objects of information that enter it
from the environment and its outputs are the same which leave it for the
environment.

1942” under the administrative control of Ministry of Commerce and
Q. 3. When to use product and process layouts?
Give example of organizations that have predominantly product, process and
fixed position layout.
Answer:In manufacturing engineering, process layout is
a design for the floor plan of a plant which aims to improve efficiency by
arranging equipment according to its function. The production line should
ideally be designed to eliminate waste in material flows, inventory handling
and management. In process layout, the work stations and machinery are not
arranged according to a particular production sequence. Instead, there is an
assembly of similar operations or similar machinery in each department (for
example, a drill department, a paint department, etc.)
Q. 4. Review Shigeo’s seven wastes. Which of
these wastes are addressed by the following JIT techniques?
a. Pull production
b. Kanban
c. JIT purchasing
Answer:The seven ways that wastage can occur in
industrial processes, as enumerated by Shigeo Shingo, an engineer at Toyota and
a noted authority on just-in-time techniques. They are:
·
Waste of overproduction – make only what is
needed now;
·
Waste of waiting;
Q. 5. Discuss various vendor-rating techniques?
Why an organisation should try to rate its vendors?
Answer:A vendor rating, also known as a supplier
rating, is based on a formal system of evaluating the companies that supply
materials or services to an organization. The process is meant to encourage a
high-quality, efficient vendor-to-customer relationship. Overall, vendors are
typically judged by both the services they offer and what capabilities they
possess. A variety of factors, which depend on the particular vendor, are
reviewed and the results are usually quantified with either a numerical score —
possibly expressed as a percentage — or
