Continuous processing is the best way to produce customized output.

• True

• False

As a general rule, continuous processing systems produce products with very little variety.

• True

• False

A job-shop processing system generally requires less-skilled workers than a continuous processing system.

• TRUE

• False

Avoiding bottlenecks is the primary goal of product design.

• True

• False

In general, job-shop systems have a lower unit cost than continuous systems do because continuous systems use costly specialized equipment.

• True

• False

Continuous production systems are typically very rigid and costly to change.

• True

• False

Right-sized equipment tends to be larger than equipment used in traditional process layouts.

• True

• False

Intermittent processing can take the form of batch processing or a job shop.

• True

• False

The term "computer-aided manufacturing" refers primarily to the use of robotics in process control.

• True
