.Question 33 In developing the Theory of Constraints Eli Goldratt suggested several rules to guide production planning. Which of the following is a Goldratt's Rule of Production Scheduling for the Optimized Production Technology? a-all the above b-a process batch should not be variable a long in time c-an hours saved at a no bottleneck is a mirage d-none of the above e-Bottlenecks do not govern throughput or inventory in the system +Question 34 In the Major Phases in a Simulation Study, after you have defined the problem and constructed the simulation model, the immediate next phase of the study is which of the following? a-none all the above c-evaluate results d-run the simulation e-Specify values of variables and parameters Question 35 Which of the following is an Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints concept? a-identify system constraints b-elevate system constraints c-decide how to exploits systems constraints d-all the above e-none of the above

Explanation / Answer

Question 33

c - an hours saved at a non-bottleneck is a mirage

This is one of the three rules of Optimized Production Technology (OPT) given by Eli Goldratt. There are a total of 10 rules in the Goldratt's theory of constraints (TOC).

Question 34  

e- specify values of variables and parameters

Question 35

d- all of the above

Dr Goldratt summarised the theory of constraints in one word - FOCUS. There are five focusing steps known as Process of On Going Improvement (POOGI). These are: 1) Idenfity the constraint 2) Exploit the constraint 3) Subordinate everything to the constraint 4) Elevate the constraint 5) Prevent inertia from becoming constraint.
