问题 单项选择题

根据以下信息,回答第72题至第88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。

公司为了更加有效,要考虑投资自动化设备以减少安装时间。当然,投资回收期不会很快。公司通过考虑以下()事项就能提炼这项投资的分析。

A不用考虑其他因素,该设备的唯一好处就是减少安装时间 

B通过减 * * 均批量规模来降低安全库存 

C通过供应商交付质量更好的原材料取得效率 

D生产前在批量原材料上贴上条形码实现经济性

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

 缩短安装时间,使平均批量规模更小,这样库存就会降低,从而使存货持有成本降低。选项(a)不正确,还有其他因素需要考虑,不包括这些因素是短视的。选项(c)不正确,让供直商交付质量更好的原材料,同投资减少安装时间是不相关的。选项(d)不正确,原材料的编码批量,同投资减少安装时间是不相关的。

A beautiful and very successful actress (女演员) was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture (家具) and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
