Please read the case study - Operations Management Case Study - process.pdf " to learn the general areas of importance in process analysis. Understanding process is critical to creation of an efficient flow in designing manufacturing or services.Please study the Case Study and answer the 8 questions in Appendix 2 on page 17. Help below- Page 17Appendix 2Operations Management: An Introduction to Process AnalysisPractice ProblemConsider the following process to manufacture bunk beds. Assume that the beds are made in batches of 4,and that there are 40 hours available per week for production. Each bed goes through the following nine steps.Step1. Cut2. Plane3. Router4. Drill5. Sand6. Stain7. Polyurethane8. Kit assembly9. CleatingSetup TimeMinutes per Setup1510101025154500Run TimeMinutes per Bunk Bed37.538.44828UV718024129040151. Assume that there is only 1 worker in total for building bunk beds (i.c., 1 worker performs each step).What is the capacity in beds per week for the process?For questions 2 through 7, assume that there is 1 worker at each step in the process and that, on average, there is 1 batch ofinventory before each step and 1 batch in process at each step.2. What is the capacity in beds per week for each step in the process? Which step is the bottleneck? Whatis the overall capacity of the process?3.If the demand is 20 bunk beds per week, what is the capacity utilization for each step in the process?4. How would capacity change if we increased the batch size to 8 bunk beds?5. List three recommendations for increasing the capacity of the process. What are the potentialcosts/difficulties of each recommendation?6. If the demand is 20 bunk beds per week, how long does it take for a bunk bed to complete the entireprocess, from start to finish?7.List three recommendations for decreasing the throughput time of the process. What are the potentialcosts/difficulties of each recommendation?For question 8, assume that the batch size is 4 bunk beds and that the process steps must be performed in the order shown in thetable.8. What is the maximum demand the process can meet (in beds per week) if there are only 5 workerswith which to staff the line? What if there are only 4 workers? How should the process steps beallocated between the workers? UNIVERSITY VIRGINIAOperations Management: An Introduction to Process AnalysisFirms exist to create and deliver value to customers, shareholders, employees, and society. OperationsManagement is focused on the means the underlying processes by which firms create and deliver value. Afirm's processes transform inputs such as labor, capital, materials, and information into outputs of greater value,in the form of products and services. For example, in a bank loan-approval process, bank staff and computersystems process information about a loan applicant and return either an approval or a rejection of the loanapplication. In an airport security check-in process, security personnel use equipment to inspect passengers andtheir luggage and either deem them fit for boarding or detain them for further inspection. In a car assemblyprocess, workers and equipment convert car components into assembled vehicles.In this technical note, we illustrate several process-analysis fundamentals. To do this, we utilize a simpleexample of a Hawaiian-shirt production process. The note is divided into the following six sections:1. Mapping a Process2. Calculating Capacity and Identifying Bottlenecks3. Load Balancing4.5.6. SummaryAppendix 1: Process-Map ExampleAppendix 2: Practice ProblemAppendix 3: GlossarySetup Times and BatchesLittle's Law1. Mapping a ProcessTo manage or improve a process, it is important to first understand it. Almost always, the first step of anyprocess analysis should be to map or draw out the existing process. Process mapping or process-flowdiagramming is a visual tool that helps achieve this. Consider the following example of a Hawaiian-shirtproduction process. This process includes the following four steps:Step 1 (cutting): A roll of fabric (with the desired shirt pattern) is gathered and laid out on the cutting table.The necessary pieces for a shirt (one torso, two sleeves, one collar, and one shirt-pocket) are then cut using asemiautomatic fabric cutter. The cut pieces for the shirt are then placed into a tote and staged before step 2.
