G. The amount
of variability in processing times cause the cycle time to increase
and the throughput to decrease
This statement is True,
because-
- Variability is the incompetency of the system
- Controllable variability is caused by decisions made in
production.
- Random variability is caused by something that we can’t
influence directly
- Variability causes more deviations in a process leading more
defects thus more rework time
- This in turn causes increase in cycle time by increasing the
time taken to convert raw material into a finished product
- throughput is the maximum rate of production
- When cycle time increases, WIP increases, thus increasing
throughput
