问题 单项选择题

一家枕头制造商用手工方法追踪其生产过程,以致其下属三个工厂每个月都有约100万美元的存货和生产记录误差。由于不知道需要多少原材料存货,公司每个工厂都会保留足够25天生产使用的多余原材料,以实现其交付产品的承诺。

公司为大批量的客户订单生产枕头,这些客户给公司一年时间来(1)实施电子数据交换(EDI)传送和接收针对订货、装货指令、确认和付款的业务数据;(2)在每个包装箱和枕头上贴条形码。公司认为同其供应商实施EDI是有利的事情,这是促进准时制存货的一种方式。公司充分认识到其自动化计划非同小可,不过管理层也感到公司若想持续经营下去,事实上没有其他选择。

生产从接收订单开始,此时就会准备空白的生产表单。由于订单随着生产过程有所增加, 每个生产工人要记录每一阶段增加的原材料数量和生产时间。包装工人将完工的枕头装进包装箱并更新订单表,表明该项订单已完工。在将订货装运时,要将生产表单转入数据输入计算机,此时办事员键入该数据,更新存货记录。这会经常出现误差,即便没有发生误差,在发送货物和更新存货记录之间也存在明显的时间差。因此,公司从不确切知道存货数或在途产品的质量。

原材料的质量也是一个问题,因为顾客都希望发运的货物质量是统一的。最终产品的质量随原材料质量比例的不同而不同。因此,在原材料质量各不相同时,生产工人就需要从仓库中提取更多的材料去保证产品质量的一致。未用完的材料会送回仓库。

如果人工采购订单的周期是25天,其中包括4天准备时间,3天邮寄订单的时间,14天供应商处理时间以及4天的运输时间。如果公司和供应商全面实施电子数据交换(EDI),最短的周期是()。

A.21天

B.18天

C.4天

D.1天

答案

参考答案:C

解析:

4天是最短的周期,因为实物运送需要4天时间。选项(a)不正确,这个周期时间不包括使用电子数据交换(EDI)可能消除的邮寄时间和供应商处理时间。选项(b)不正确,这个周期时间不包括使用电子数据交换(EDI)可能减少的供应商处理时间。选项(d)不正确,仅仅实施EDI,不可能将周期时间降到4天运输时间以下-需要更具效率的运输。
