1. to reduce the cost of holding too much inventory, many companies have implemented:

a. abc inventory management.
b. first-in, last-out inventory control.
c. just-in-time inventory control.
d. maximum inventory management.

1. _ is based on the notion that setting ambitious but attainable goals will improve motivation and

performance if the goals are accepted, accompanied by feedback, and facilitated by organizational conditions.
a. theory j
b. goal-setting theory
c. scientific management
d. the principle of performance feedback

Explanation:

• Question 16: Process manufacturing involves physically or chemically changing materials to produce a product. Assembly processes focus on putting parts together. Utilitarian production is not a standard term in this context. Diffusive manufacturing is not a recognized term.
• Question 17: Form utility is created when raw materials are transformed into finished goods. Manufacturing is a broader term. Marginal utility relates to the additional satisfaction from consuming one more unit. Consumption is the act of using goods.
• Question 18: A continuous process has long production runs. Assembly processes are about putting parts together. Extended and unrestricted processes are not standard terms for this description.
• Question 19: CAD (Computer - Aided Design) uses computers to design products. PERT is for project management. QPC is not a relevant term here. DPA is not related to product design.
• Question 20: Lean manufacturing aims to produce with less of everything (resources, waste, etc.). Keeping high inventories is the opposite. Producing a limited variety is not the main goal. Self - sufficiency in components is not the core of lean.
• Question 21: Just - in - time inventory control reduces inventory holding costs. ABC inventory management classifies inventory. First - in, last - out is an inventory valuation method. Maximum inventory management would increase holding costs.
• Question 22: Goal - setting theory is about setting ambitious but attainable goals. Theory J is about Japanese management. Scientific management is about work methods. The principle of performance feedback is part of goal - setting but not the overall theory.

Answer:

1. A. process manufacturing
2. D. Form
3. B. continuous process
4. D. CAD
5. B. produce goods and services with less of everything that goes into the process
6. C. just - in - time inventory control
7. B. Goal - setting theory
