Question

1. Sustainability includes logistics design and can positively impact a business’s success.

True

False

2. Typically, Takt time is used in helping administer “Chase” scheduling techniques.

True

False

3. The name six sigma comes from the philosophy that a process should produce three standard deviations worth of output between the upper specification limit and the mean, plus three additional standard deviations worth of output between the lower specification limit and the mean, totaling six standard deviations worth of output between the upper and lower specification limits.

True

False

Answer 1

1.

For any business, the logistics design and decision is a mode through which the delivery of the value to the customer is done. If the design is sustainable and increases the value of the service, then definitely the business performance is improved. Thus sustainable logistic design have as positive impact on the business’s success.

ANS: True

2.

Takt time is defined as the ratio of available time to demand rate. Thus, to match the demand rte in a given time will improve the throughput of the process. Thus, planners considers the Takt time to schedule the processes and operations such that the demand rate is meet.

Thus, planner use Takt time for “Chasing” the schedules

ANS: True

3.

The name six sigma comes from the philosophy that a process should produce

- Six standard deviations worth of output between the upper specification limit and the mean,

- Six standard deviations worth of output between the lower specification limit and the mean,

- Totaling 12 standard deviations worth of output between the upper and lower specification limits.

As shown below, the 6 sigma process produces 3.4 defects per million opportunities.

ANS: False
