Which of the following actions would result in shorter purchasing lead times?

An ETO environment with fairly long lead times has a severely overloaded work center in the middle of the production process. Assuming deadlines cannot be changed, a simulation of the situation is most likely to

Infinite loading is useful for

Which of the following flows is most likely used in a flow environment that is supply-constrained by the availability of a seasonal vegetable?

A textile plant spins fiber into yarn, weaves yarn into a line of standard fabrics, and dyes these fabrics to custom-color specifications. Dyeing is done in a light-to-dark sequence to reduce high changeover costs. While spinning and dyeing capacity is adequate during the peak season, the capacity of the plant＇s weaving operations is well below the required level. If product design and price are the primary competitive factors, which two of the following actions would effectively resolve the problem?
1. Building inventory of feed yarn just before the peak season begins;
2. Building inventory of undyed fabric just before the peak season begins;
3. Changing weaving and dyeing schedules to accommodate the needs of key customers
4. Changing weaving schedules to use subcontractors during the peak season;
