A) assembly line - job shop - manufacturing cell
B) assembly line - manufacturing cell - job shop

2. [OQ] (Inventory Turnover) In 2005, Dell's inventory turnover
was ___ and days of supply were ___.
A) high, high B) high, low C) low, high D) low, low
Output/product variety has a inverse relationship with the volume of production.
In job shop ,production volume is lowest compared to assembly line and manufaturing cell.Hence,job shop has the highest job output variety.
Manufacturing cell refers to a set of machines that are grouped to produce a certain product or a part.Hence the production volume is higher than job shop but lower than the assembly line.
Finally assembly line has the highest scale of production i.e the production volume is the highest.This implies that the output variety is the lowest in the assembly line.
The answer is (D)Job shop-manufacturing cell-assembly line
2. We have,
days of supply =365/Inventory turnover ratio
If inventory turnoer ratio is high,the days of supply will be low.In 2005,dell has a high inventory turnover ratio of 87.56
Hence the correct option is (B)high,low
