Question N0 2:

A production line has an hourly throughput rate 6 products per hour. The average throughput time of the line is 7 hours, calculate the average work-in-process inventory.

Can u please answer both of the questions

In a two-stage production process, there are two tasks: First task A Is done, then task B. Task A requires 9 minutes/part and Task B requires 15 minutes/part. Currently there is one worker doing Task A and one worker doing
Task B. The production manager is considering cross-training the first worker (the one working on task A). When cross-trained, he will spend 3/4 of his time on task A and 1/4 in task B. The other worker will continue doing task
B as before. How much will this change decrease the cycle time of the process?
