1. PT ABC produces disinfectant by mixing 2 chemical solutions for mixing in a machine to become a disinfectant solution (Solution I and Solution 2). Solution I is the first process which is carried out at workstation A for 0.5 minutes per solution then continued at workstation B for 0.2 minutes per solution. Then solution I was mixed together with Solution 2 at workstation C for 0.8 minutes per solution. Workstations B and C are processed at workstation D for mixing together where the process takes X minutes per solution until it becomes a disinfectant solution to be sold to customers. a. Which workstation is a bottleneck? Explain with a picture of the workstation. b. What is the resulting time (throughput time) from the work system above? c. How much disinfectant solution can a company produce per hour?

Consider a law firm with 15 lawyers and 3 paralegals. The firm is struggling to keep up with the high demand for its services, particularly during the busy litigation seasons. It has been observed that the lawyers spend a significant amount of their time on administrative tasks that could potentially be handled by paralegals. After a careful study of the work distribution within the firm, it was determined that 35% of the activities carried out by the lawyers are administrative in nature. Given that each lawyer works 50 hours a week, please determine: (a) How many additional paralegals should the firm hire to handle the administrative tasks currently performed by the lawyers? (b) If the lawyers' time spent on administrative tasks is redirected to billable legal work, by what percentage could the firm potentially increase its billable hours?

Bill’s Car Wash offers two types of washes: Standard and Deluxe. The process flow for both typesof customers is shown in Figure 5.7. Both wash types are first processed through steps A1 and A2.The Standard wash then goes through steps A3 and A4 while the Deluxe is processed through steps A5,A6, and A7. Both offerings finish at the drying station (A8). The numbers in parentheses indicate theminutes it takes for that activity to process a customer a. Which step is the bottleneck for the Standard car wash process? For the Deluxe car wash process?b. What is the capacity (measured as customers served per hour) of Bill’s Car Wash to processStandard and Deluxe customers? Assume that no customers are waiting at step A1, A2, or A8.c. If 60 percent of the customers are Standard and 40 percent are Deluxe, what is the average capacityof the car wash in customers per hour?d. Where would you expect Standard wash customers to experience waiting lines, assuming that newcustomers are always entering…

Manufacturing Company uses FIFO method of accumulating costs in a two-department process. Materials are introduced at the inception of the process except for a special material which is added in department 2 at 60% completion as to overhead. Inspection is done at the end of the process in both departments. Production data for Department 2 are given below: In process, beginning, (80% labor, 70% overhead)2,000 Transferred in 14,900 In process, ending (40% labor, 20% overhead) 3,000 Normal spoilage 200 Abnormal spoilage (found at 30% completion as to laborand 15% as to overhead due to internal failure) 400 Cost data for the month:In process beginning:Transferred in 15,020 Special materials 1,900 Direct labor 4,388 Overhead 11,044 Current costs:Transferred in 137,080 Special materials 14,030 Direct labor 46,000 Overhead 113,564 The cost of units transferred to finished goods is?The cost of spoilage charged to revenue is?
Statement of the ProblemKuala Lumpur Hospital, as we all know, is one of Malaysia's busiest hospitals. This is due to the fact that it admits a diverse range of patients suffering from a diverse range of disorders. These patients have arrived as a result of the health sector that operates in this facility. In other words, the departments within it are quite diverse. As a result, the hospital must deal with a high volume of both existing and new patients. Employees are required to gather patient personal information such as name, address, and so on for all of these admissions. It intends to capture and save their data for further use. Employee admissions, such as physicians and nurses, should also be recorded by the hospital. Furthermore, the hospital must manually record the many departments, rooms, and physicians in hospitals. It is also required to keep frequent records of patients, patients admitted to the hospital, doctor exams on patients, patients who have had surgery, and…
