26
Q

production planning and control department is separate from the work centers​

inventory control is separate from materials storeroom and finished goods warehouse​

cost accounting function accounts for WIP and should be separate from the work centers in the production process​

A

Segregation of duties​

27
Q

work center supervisors oversee the usage of raw materials to ensure that all released materials are used in production and waste is minimized​

employee time cards and job tickets are checked for accuracy​

A

Supervision​

28
Q

controlled access to storerooms, production work centers, and finished goods warehouses ​

quantities in excess of standard amounts require approval​

A

direct access to assets​

29
Q

controlled use of materials requisitions, excess materials requisitions, and employee time cards​

A

indirect access to assets​

30
Q

cost accounting reconciles material usage (material requisitions) and labor usage (job tickets) with standards ​

variances are investigated​

A

Independent verification​

31
Q

GL dept. verifies movement from WIP to FG by reconciling journal vouchers from cost accounting and inventory subsidiary ledgers from inventory control ​

A

Independent verification​

32
Q

internal and external auditors periodically verify the raw materials and FGs inventories through a physical count

A

Independent verification​

33
Q

continuously pursue improvements in all aspects of their operations, including manufacturing procedures​

are highly customer oriented​

have undergone fundamental changes from the traditional production model​

often adopt a lean manufacturing model​

A

World-Class Companies

34
Q

products are pulled from the consumer end (demand), not pushed from the production end (supply)​

A

Pull Processing

35
Q

pull processing requires zero defects in raw material, WIP, and FG inventories​

A

Perfect Quality

36
Q

activities that do not add value or maximize the use of scarce resources are eliminated

A

Waste Minimization

37
Q

hallmark of lean manufacturing​

Inventories cost money​

Inventories can mask production problems​

Inventories can precipitate overproduction​

A

Inventory Reduction

38
Q

reduce setup time to a minimum, allowing for a greater diversity of products, without sacrificing efficiency​

A

Production Flexibility

39
Q

late deliveries, defective raw materials, or incorrect orders will shut down production since there are inventory reserves​

A

Established Supplier Relations

40
Q

each employee must be vigilant of problems that threaten the continuous flow of the production line​

A

Team Attitude

41
Q

is based on flows through cells which shorten the physical distance between activities.​

This reduces setup and processing time, handling costs, and inventories.​

A

Reorganization

42
Q

Consists of many different types of machines which require a lot of setup time​

Machines and operators are organized in functional departments​

WIP follows a circuitous route through the different operations​

A

Traditional Approach to Automation ​

43
Q

Stand alone islands which employ computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines that can perform multiple operations with less human involvement​

A

Islands of Technology​

44
Q

Reduce the complexity of the physical layout​

Arranged in groups and in cells to produce an entire part from start to finish​

Need less set-up time​

A

54
Q

is an information system that provides managers with information about activities and cost objects​

A

Activity Based Costing (ABC)

55
Q

assumes that activities cause costs and that products (and other cost objects) create a demand for activities​

A

Activity Based Costing (ABC)…​

56
Q

is different from traditional accounting system since ABC has multiple activity drivers, whereas traditional accounting has only one, e.g. machine hours​

A

Activity Based Costing (ABC)

57
Q

all the steps in a process that are essential to producing a product​

A

Value stream

58
