Starving occurs when the firm must stop because there are no customer orders.

Order release controls a manufacturing system's input. It may be known as job release, order review/release (Melnyk & Ragatz, 1989), input/output control (Wight, 1970), or just input control. Show
Order release connects the manufacturing planning system and the shop floor. Figure 1 shows a typical manufacturing operation. The large arrows represent orders that flow through the system. On the left-hand side, the arrows represent customer orders. On the right-hand side, the arrows represent work orders.

True. When we use a make-to-stock production process, we control our production based on a desired amount of finished goods inventory.
Which best describes the overall time the process takes from beginning to end?Throughput time refers to the total amount of time that it takes to run a particular process in its entirety from start to finish.
What does Little's law show about inventory quizlet?Little's Law shows the relationship between throughput rate, throughput time, and the amount of work-in-process inventory. Specifically, it is throughput time equals amount of work-in-process inventory divided by the throughput rate.
Which of the following terms describes a stage that limits the capacity of the process?A bottleneck occurs when there is not enough capacity to meet the demand or throughput for a product or service. It is called a bottleneck since the neck of a bottle narrows and tapers, restricting the amount of liquid that can flow out of a bottle at once.
