Question
Problem 11-12 (Algo) The bathtub theory of operations management is being promoted as the next breakthrough for global competitiveness. The factory is a bathtub with 70 gallons of capacity. The drain is the outlet to the market and can output 7.0 gallons per hour when wide open. The faucet is the raw material input and can let material in at a rate of nine gallons per hour. Now, to test your comprehension of the Intricacies of operations (assume the bathtub is empty to begin with): a-1. What is the maximum rate (gallons per hour) at which the market can be served if all valves are set to maximum? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Maximum rate a-2. If the faucet is running at maximum and the drain is wide open, in how many hours will the bathtub completely fill and start to overflow? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Number of hours gals/hr b. Suppose that, instead of a faucet, a ten-gallon container is used for filling the bathtub (assume a full container is next to the tub to begin with); It takes two hours to refill the container and return it to the bathtub. What is the average output rate (gallons per hour)? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Average output rate gals/hr
