Explanation / Answer

24 - There is no variable in average capacity.

Explanation- if there is no variability in average capacity then increasing customers could not be fulfilled as the requirement of increment into total demand would not be matched if available capacity is not variable.

25- separate, supply

Explanation- in separate queuing system supply is shared across all the servers for improved efficiency.

26- when utilisation exceeds demand

Explanation - in this type of situation in the queue is automatically stable as the demand is utilised and availability of increment in demand stabilize the queue.

27- over processing is a waste because it means more time is spent on a floor unit then necessary.

Explanation- over processing is one of the seven wastes in Lean manufacturing in which efficiency of the organisation is very widely reduced.
