Please help to solve question d and e. T. Smunt Manufacturing Corp. has the process displayedbelow. The drilling operation occurs separately from andsimultaneously with the sawing and sanding operations. Theproduct only needs to go through one of the three assemblyoperations (the assembly operations are "parallel").a) Which operation is the bottleneck?b) What is the throughput time for the overall system?Sawing15 min/unitSanding15 min/unitDrilling27 min/unitc) If the firm operates 8 hours per day, 22 days per month,what is the monthly capacity of the manufacturing process?d) Suppose that a second drilling machine is added, and ittakes the same time as the original drilling machine. Whatis the new bottleneck time of the system?e) Suppose that a second drilling machine is added, and ittakes the same time as the original drilling machine. Whatis the new throughput time?Welding25 min/unitAssembly78 min/unitAssembly78 min/unitAssembly78 min/unit

CRUISE MINI CASE: Sunshine Cruise Lines is a cruise operator that offers three- to seven-day cruises along five Caribbean routes. It has developed a reputation as a party cruise operator and the majority of its revenue comes from vacationing college students. This type of customer demand is highly cyclical, and Sunshine finds that repeat purchase is high while its consumers are in college, but practically disappears after graduation. In an effort to encourage its customers to continue taking Sunshine Cruises after they have graduated, the cruise operator has begun offering Adventure Cruises, with port stops on islands known for eco-tourism and biodiversity, both on land and off shore, appealing to young professionals who like to hike and scuba dive or snorkel. In contrast to its party cruises, Sunshine focuses its marketing message for Adventure Cruises on activities at port stops and the convenience of being able to explore several Caribbean destinations from the comfort of a single…
Solve the question below using the attached excel templates with formulas for renting both slow and fast copies (labeled in the excel tabs). Question: The Decision Sciences Department is trying to determine whether to rent a slow or a fast copier. The department believes that an employee’s time is worth $15 per hour. The slow copier rents for $4 per hour, and it takes an employee an average of 10 minutes to complete copying. The fast copier rents for $15 per hour, and it takes an employee an average of six minutes to complete copying. On average, four employees per hour need to use the copying machine. (Assume the copying times and interarrival times to the copying machine are exponentially distributed.) Which machine should the department rent to minimize expected total cost per hour?

McDonalds has a drive-through window and, during peak lunch times, can handle a maximum of 85 cars per hour with one person taking orders, assembling them, and acting as cashier. The average sale per order is $12.00. A proposal has been made to add two additional workers and divide the tasks among the three. One will take orders, the second will assemble them, and the third will act as a cashier. With this system, it is estimated that 120 cars per hour can be serviced. Use productivity arguments to recommend whether or not to change the current system. Hint: Productivity = revenue/labor dollar

Scenario Office Equipment, Inc. (OEI) leases automatic mailing machines to business customers in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The company built its success on a reputation of providing timely maintenance and repair service. Each OEI service contract states that a service technician will arrive at a customer’s business site within an average of 3 hours from the time that the customer notifies OEI of an equipment problem. Currently, OEI has 10 customers with service contracts. One service technician is responsible for handling all service calls. A statistical analysis of historical service records indicates that a customer requests a service call at an average rate of one call per 50 hours of operation. If the service technician is available when a customer calls for service, it takes the technician an average of 1 hour of travel time to reach the customer’s office and an average of 1.5 hours to complete the repair service. However, if the service technician is busy with another customer when a…

Instructions to submit answer for homework questions are as follow: They have given you four spaces to fill in for “up-to” four corner points. If your feasible region has only three corner points, for instance, then you MUST put in “None” (“none” or “NONE” for example, would not work) for the X and Y coordinates of the last corner point and not leave it blank
