True False

2.
A work center is a physical area of the business

True False

3.
A system that “backward schedules” is
designed to determine and report the earliest date an order can be completed.

True False

4.
A backward schedule tells when an order must be
started in order to be done by a specific date. True False

5.
In finite loading no consideration is given
directly to whether there is sufficient capacity at the resources required to
complete the work, nor is the actual sequence of the work as done by each
resource in the work center considered.

True False

6.
In infinite loading no consideration is given
directly to whether there is sufficient capacity at the resources required to complete
the work, nor is the actual sequence of the work as done by each resource in
the work center considered.

True False

7.
Theoretically, all schedules are feasible when
finite loading is used. True False

8.
Initiating performance of scheduled work is
commonly termed “dispatching” of orders. True False

9.
Shop-floor control (or production activity
control) can involve reviewing the status and controlling the progress of
orders as they are being worked on.

True False

10.
Shop-floor control (or production activity
control) can involve expediting late and critical orders. True False

11.
In production scheduling the process of
determining which job to start first on some machine or in some work center is
known as sequencing or priority sequencing.

True False

12.
Priority rules are the rules used to obtain a job
sequence in production scheduling. True False

13.
The FCFS priority rule used in sequencing
production jobs will always result in a better solution than the LCFS rule.

True False

14.
Using the random order or “whim”
priority rule to sequence production jobs means that supervisors or operators
