Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Staging in a manual system corresponds to dispatching in a computer system.Staging is the process of preparing and moving materials or components to the point of use or consumption in a production system1.Staging can be done manually by workers who physically move the items from storage areas to workstations, or automatically by conveyors, robots, or other devices2.Dispatching is the process of authorizing and releasing work orders or tasks to the production system3.Dispatching can be done manually by supervisors who assign work to workers, or automatically by computer systems that use algorithms or rules to prioritize and schedule work4. Both staging and dispatching are functions that facilitate the flow of materials and information in a production system and ensure that the right items are available at the right time and place.

I dunno, I'm just hoping the exam doesn't mix up the models too much. I'd hate to get my Toyota and my Ford all confused. That would be a real mixed-up mess!

Hmm, I'm going to have to go with A) Increased inventory. More inventory means more problems, am I right? Mixed-model scheduling is supposed to make things simpler, not complicate them further.
