Question

A toy factory is planning to make an additional item, which would be processed in 4 departments. The company is proposing to produce 600,000 units per year, working 250 days per year. The estimates of times made by an industrial engineer are in the table:

	Departments
Times	1	2	3	4
Average processing time (second/part)	8	13	10	50
Average maintenance, time/day (minutes)	20	30	20	15
Average daily setup, time (minutes)	20	15	30	20
Average bookkeeping, time/day (minutes)	10	8	12	5
Machine adjustment, time/day (minutes)	15	10	15	15
Defective items, (% of production)	5	6	4	4

The parts are produced within the departments in a sequential manner (from department 1 to 2 to 3 to 4).

Determine the efficiency of each departmental operation if only one shift is operated between 7:30 am-4:30 pm, with a 40 minute lunchbreak and two 10 minute coffee breaks.
