Question

The analyst in the Dorben Company wishes to assign a number of like facilities to an

operator based on minimizing the cost per unit of output. A detailed study of the facilities

revealed the following:

 

Loading machine standard time = 0.30 minutes

Unloading machine standard time = 0.25 minutes

Walk time between two machines = 0.09 minutes

Operator rate = $12.00 per hour

Machine rate (both idle and working) = $18.00 per hour

Machine cycle time = 1.55 minutes

TEC = The Expected Cost

  1. a) With your initial estimation, how many machines can be serviced exactly?(please keep a non-integer with three decimal places)
  2. b) How much is your TEC per piece if the operator has idle time? (please keep three decimal places)

c)How much is your TEC per piece if the machine has idle time?  (please keep three decimal places)

  1. d) How many of these machines should be assigned to each operator?(please write down a numerical number)
