A cell-phone repair shop consists of three processes. Step 1 requires 4 minutes per unit, step 2 requires 6 minutes per unit and step 3 requires 2 minutes per unit. 40% of units that complete the third step require rework, which means those units must start the process over at step 2 (processing times are the same for units being reworked) and rework is always successful. Demand at the shop is 0.8 units per minute. Instruction: Round your answer to three decimal places. What is the capacity of the shop (in units per units per minute)? units per minute
Processes A, B, C, and D are all used to produce seafood gumbo with seemingly infinite demand. The steps feed directly into one another, so A’s output goes to B, and B’s output goes to C, and finally, C’s output goes to D. Process A can produce 400 units per minute, Process B can produce 300 units per minute, Process C can produce 300 units per minute, and Process D can produce 400 units per minute. Which process step(s) can experience idle time while the overall process still maximizes output? a. Processes B and C b. Processes A and D c. Process A d. Process D
An output of 720 units per shift (7.40 hours) is desired for a new processing system. The system requires product to pass through four stations where the work content at each station is 26 seconds. What is the required cycle time for such a system? How efficient is your system with the cycle time calculated? Station 3 changes and now requires 50 seconds to complete. What will need to be done to meet demand (assume only 7.40 hours are available)? What is the efficiency of the new system?

Chairs are made in a process with a single resource. There are two types of chairs. The resource's processing time for the first type is 30 minutes and demand for this type is 2.3 chairs per hour. The resource's processing time for the second type is 23 minutes and demand for this type is 2.8 chairs per hour. There is 1 worker at this resource. Instruction: Round your answer to one decimal place. What is the implied utilization (%) of this resource?
Chairs are made in a two step process with two resources. The processing time at the first resource is 30 minutes and for the second resource it is 23 minutes The first resource has 1 worker and the second resource has 1 worker.

A toy firm produces drums sequentially on three machines- A, B, and C- with cycle times of three, four, and six minutes, respectively. a) Determine the optimum efficiency and output rates for adding one, two... six more machines b) Assume now that two identical lines are operating, each with machines A, B, and C. If new machines can be shared between the lines, how should one, two, and then three new machines be added? What are the resulting efficiencies and outputs of the two lines? Is it always best to equally share extra machines between the two lines?
