Kingcade Corporation keeps careful track of the time required to fill orders. Data concerning a particular order appear below: Wait time Process time Inspection time Move time Queue time The throughput time was: Multiple Choice 33.1 hours 4.7 hours 28.4 hours 14.3 hours Hours 18.8 1.6 0.6 2.5 9.6
19-33 Waiting times, manufacturing cycle times. The IVplast Corporation uses an injection molding ma- chine to make a plastic product, Z39, after receiving firm orders from its customers. IVplast estimates that it will receive 40 orders for Z39 during the coming year. Each order of Z39 will take 120 hours of machine time. The annual machine capacity is 6,800 hours. 1. Calculate (a) the average amount of time that an order for Z39 will wait in line before it is processed and (b) the average manufacturing cycle time per order for Z39.
A work cell in a local manufacturer has a workstation with 4 machines that form a line (Machine 1-Machine 2-Machine 3-Machine 4). Each unit needs to pass through each machine in order to be completed. Each machine has a production capacity of four units per hour. What is the process time of the work cell in minutes per unit? 15 4 8 16
Lou operates a cab service specifically tailored to provide safe and comfortable transportation for seniors in his town. He owns five cabs, each staffed by a dedicated driver. Upon receiving a service call, Lou promptly dispatches one of these drivers to pick up the customer. The operational details are as follows: • Each driver takes an average of 15 minutes to arrive at the customer's location after being dispatched. • The journey from the customer's pickup location to their destination averages 25 minutes. • Lou’s service receives an average of 2.5 calls per hour. For analytical purposes, you can assume that both the arrival of service calls (demand) and the service times have coefficients of variation (CV) equal to 1. (a) What is the average waiting time for a customer from the moment they place a service call to Lou until a cab arrives to pick them up? (For answering this question carefully think about different stages of processes, and what a customer is doing in each stage. It…
L. Winston Martin (an allergist) has an excellent system for handling his regular patients who come in just for allergy injections. Patients arrive for an injection and fill out a name slip, which is then placed in an open slot that passes into another room staffed by one or two nurses. The specific injections for a patient are prepared, and the patient is called through a speaker system into the room to receive the injection. At certain times during the day, patient load drops and only one nurse is needed to administer the injections. Use Exhibit 712. Let's focus on the simpler case of the two-namely, when there is one nurse. Also, assume that patients arrive in a Poisson fashion and the service rate of the nurse is exponentially distributed. During this slower period, patients arrive with an interarrival time of approximately 3 minutes. It takes the nurse an average of 2.50 minutes to prepare the patients' serum and administer the injection. a. What is the average number of patients…
The 4M company has a lathe as the centerpiece of the plant's work. The jobs arrive according to a Poisson process with an average rate of 2 per day. The processing time of each job is exponentially distributed with an average of 1/ 4 day. Since the jobs are large, if they are not in process they are stored in a warehouse some distance from the machine. However, to save time in bringing them in, the production manager proposes to add space for 3 in-process jobs in addition to the one on the lathe (the rest will continue to be stored). With this proposal, what proportion of the time will the space next to the lathe be adequate for the waiting jobs? Calculate your answer using the formulas available.
Suppose for a particular process that the bottleneck cycle time is 54 seconds, and raw processing time is 345 seconds. If there are 4 customers in this system already, and then you walk up and join the line at Station 1, what is your expected lead-time to move through the entire process? Whole number value, no decimals.
Consider a workstation that has one maintenance mechanic to repair failed machines. We can think of the mechanic as the processor (scarce resource) and the machines awaiting repair as the jobs.

Patients are arriving at a clinic at a rate of two per minute. Each patient's visit consists of four steps: check in, record vital signs, receive treatment, and check out. A receptionist takes 1 minute to check a patient in. A nurse takes 2 minutes to record the patient's vital signs. A doctor spends 10 minutes with a patient. A staff member takes 3 minutes to check a patient out. What is the process capacity in patients per hour?

ABC Solutions is a traditional company in a textile industry with a combined workforce of 150 staff. Due to increased levels of competition, this company is now increasingly finding it difficult to compete – especially as the larger companies seem to be a little more innovative, agile and responsive to client requirements. Management have noticed that staff, especially the highly skilled ones, are now leaving the company to seek work elsewhere (in these larger companies). This has meant appointing new staff and undertaking a considerable amount of re-training to replace those that have left the company. Apart from impacting on core business operations, ABC Solutions has started witnessing a drop in its profit margin. Given this position, senior management at ABC Solutions have decided to implement a performance measurement tool (PMT) that would allow them to align the strategic, management and operational requirements of the business. They are therefore considering the adoption of the…
