The processing time for each activity is given as follows: Greet customer Take order Process order Deliver order A) 50% Assume demand is unlimited. What is the average labor utilization? B) 68% C) 40% Activity D) 162% Processing time per customer 2 seconds 30 seconds 60 seconds 5 seconds. In the welding operations of a bicycle manufacturer, a bike frame has a flow time of about 11.5 hours. The time in the welding operation is spent as follows: 2 hours waiting in front of the cutting machine for the batch to start, 2 hours waiting for the setupof the machine, 1 hour waiting for the other pieces of the batch to go through cutting, 1 minute at the cutting machine, and 3 hours waiting for the transfer to the welding machine. Then, at the welding machine, the unit spends 1 hour waiting in front of the welding machine for the batch to start, 1 hour waiting for the setup of the welding machine, 0.5 hour waiting for the other pieces of the batch to go through welding, 0.5 minute at the welding machine, and 1 hour waiting for the transfer to the next department. Determine the exact flow time. What is the value-added percentage of the flow time?The following table shows the process times in minutes (or minutes/unit - how many minutes to process one unit) of a six-station serial production line (1-2-3-4-5-6).

- Please do not give solution in image format thanku Meals are the flow unit in a process with two sequential resources. The capacities of the resources are 28 and 24 meals per minute. Demand occurs at the rate 31 meals per minute. What is the utilization (%) of the second resource? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.Benny the Barber owns a one-chair shop. At barber college, they told Benny that his customers would exhibit a Poisson arrival distribution and that he would provide an exponential service distribution. His market survey data indicate that customers arrive at a rate of 4.0 per hour. It will take Benny an average of 8 minutes to give a haircut. Based on these figures, find the following: a. The average number of customers waiting. Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places. Average number of customers waiting b. The average time a customer waits. Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Average waiting time minutes. The School of Dentistry at Penn provides general dental care to residents of Philadelphiaon a walk-in basis. Upon arrival, customers first provide health-relevant informationsuch as personal health records and insurance provider to a receptionist who entersthe information into the computer system for the dentist to see. A dental assistant thentakes an X-ray of the patient. A dentist then performs the checkup and discusses anyissues with the patient. Depending on the day, patients might have to wait at any of theseresources. This concludes the process. Draw a process flow diagram of this process.
- 130) please please help me with this! Owners of a local restaurant are concerned about their ability to provide quality service as they continue to grow and attract more customers. They have collected data from Friday and Saturday nights, their busiest times of the week. During these time periods, about 106 customers arrive per hour for service. Given the number of tables and chairs, and the typical time it takes to serve a customer, the owners estimate they can serve, on average, about 162 customers per hour. Use Exhibit 4.6. Furthermore, the owners anticipate that in one year their demand will double as long as they can provide good service to their customers. a. Currently, during these nights, are they in the zone of service, the critical zone, or the zone of nonservice? EXIBIT IS THE PICTURE ADDED O Critical zone O Zone of service O Zone of nonservice b. Next year, after demand doubles, what must the service capacity increase to (at minimum) to stay out of the critical zone?Note:…In order to meet holiday demand, Penny's Pie Shop requires a production line that is capable of producing 50 pecan pies per week, while operating only 40 hours per week.
