MTS481 lesson 3

..........is a mathematical approach to the analysis of dynamic systems with queues.

• Queuing theory

• Average arrival rate

• Average waiting time

• Average number of items

What does WIP stand for?

• work in floor plan

• average arrival rate

• work in process

• average waiting time

........is one in which entities (things that flow) come in, receive a service (or several services) from resources in the system, and then either leave the system or circle back to a previous point.

• A process system

• A work system

• A production system

• A queuing system

Which one is not an advantage of Queue Configuration?

• The service provided can be differentiated.

• Longer waiting time

• Labor specialization is possible.

• The customer has more flexibility.

.......... mean "A customer or job that is currently being served is never sent back to the queue tomake room for an arriving customer or job with higher priority."

• Work in process

• Preemptive

• Non-preemptive

• Average working time

What does sink block do?

• removes the entity from the flowchart

• models serving times

• generates entities

• returns the resource units to the pool

What does release block do?

• removes the entity from the flowchart

• models serving times

• generates entities

• returns the resource units to the pool

Lack of resources will cause a ..............

• Fast moving goods

• Bottlenecks

• Slowing moving goods

• Error
