3.- A company that manufactures bath towels works in a regular way, very quiet and established since its foundation in 2017. Being a company that sells to retailers, its production is very small and controlled, month by month they produce 135 towels, of which 130 are conforming product. In July 2020 they worked 23 days. Their standard operating time per month is 5 hours per day, working from Monday to Friday. There are no meetings involved and there is only a scheduled break time of half an hour per day, and since the production machines are fully manual, no warm up time is required. Usually at the 100 hours worked, there is a "break", to review the production so far and check with customers that the 130 units per month will be needed. This waiting time (Waiting in Kanban) is 5 hours (equivalent to one working day), so it is planned to coincide with Monday or Friday so that employees do not need to wait physically in the plant and can do it from home, waiting for instructions to continue. Determine the total parts produced per hour (PPH) during the month of July 2020.

Question

3.- A company that manufactures bath towels works in a regular way, very quiet and established since its foundation in 2017. Being a company that sells to retailers, its production is very small and controlled, month by month they produce 135 towels, of which 130 are conforming product. In July 2020 they worked 23 days. Their standard operating time per month is 5 hours per day, working from Monday to Friday. There are no meetings involved and there is only a scheduled break time of half an hour per day, and since the production machines are fully manual, no warm up time is required. Usually at the 100 hours worked, there is a "break", to review the production so far and check with customers that the 130 units per month will be needed. This waiting time (Waiting in Kanban) is 5 hours (equivalent to one working day), so it is planned to coincide with Monday or Friday so that employees do not need to wait physically in the plant and can do it from home, waiting for instructions to continue.

Determine the total parts produced per hour (PPH) during the month of July 2020.

 

 

Use this formula (the one in the image)

Gt=total good parts produced
Ht= total hours worked
Kw= kanban waiting
Nt = scheduled non-production time
Ot= standard operation time
Transcribed Image Text:Gt=total good parts produced Ht= total hours worked Kw= kanban waiting Nt = scheduled non-production time Ot= standard operation time
GT
PPH =
O7 - (K + N7)
Transcribed Image Text:GT PPH = O7 - (K + N7)
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information: 

Total Good Parts Produced (Gt) = 130 

Number of days worked in July = 23 days

Kanban Waiting Hours (Kw) = 5 hours 

Scheduled break time = 0.5 hours per day
