Explain the concept of line balancing and how this concept relates to that of a bottleneck.
What are the characteristics of JIT partnerships with respect to suppliers?
PT Adidan wants to produce 360 pairs of shoes in 10 hours/shift in a day. Draw a precedence diagram and assign tasks to workstations shown in Table 7(c). Calculate the balance delay and efficiency.
Table 7(c)
A company is setting up an assembly line to produce 192 units per 8 hour shift. Activity, task time and immediate predecessor are shown in Table 6(a). Draw a precedence diagram and assign tasks to workstations. Calculate the efficiency also.

What is reverse engineering? What are the ethical issues that need to be considered when doing reverse engineering?
What is process improvement? How can you ensure process improvement implementation?
Define the term "operations management". Write down the objectives and benefits of production planning and control.
Write down the goals of reverse engineering. Make a distinction between reverse and re-engineering.
