Question 1 In a production system with three stages, Stage 1 can process 200 units per hour, Stage 2 can process 150 units per hour, and Stage 3 can process 180 units per hour. If Stage 2 is upgraded to process 220 units per hour, what is the new system capacity? Explain your answer. The efficiency of a factory is 75% and its utilization 50%. If effective capacity is 1000 find design capacity. A factory produces 1000 units a month. If design capacity is 3000 and efficiency is 50. i. Calculate the utilization rate. ii.Calculate effective capacity. An airline company must plan its fleet capacity and long-term schedule of aircraft usage. For one flight segment, the average number of customers per day is 70, which represents a 65 percentage utilization rate of the equipment assigned to the flight segment. If demand is expected to increase to 84 customers for this flight segment in three years, and management requires a capacity cushion of 25 percent, calculate the following: i. the planned capacity requirement. ii. the maximum number of customers the flight segment can accommodate.
