Abbott Manufacturing produces plastic cases for solar photovoltaic panels and has decided to combine orders from customers to increase work order size, and thereby, make one large production run per model type. Plastic injection molding machines are used to make these parts, and it is time consuming to clean and re-setup the machines between production runs. Each molding machine and operator works one 10-hour shift with a one-hour lunch break and one-half hour for operator breaks. Consolidated Work Orders Model XVT-5 Case Model UYT-3 Case Model KLY-6 Case Work Order Quantity 9,600 panels 7,900 12,000 Setup (Changeover) Time per Work Order (minutes) 98 160 What is the total workload (demand) in hours for this work order mix? Round your answer to one decimal place. The total workload is hours. How many machines will it take to do this work in one, two, or three days? Round your answers up to the nearest whole number. To do this work in 1 day they need machine(s). machine(s). To do this…

Chris has three different workstations: one for drip coffee, one for espresso drinks, and one to prepare food. During the morning rush, Chris has 5 people working: one person at the drip coffee station, two at the espresso station, and two at the food prep station. These employees are not cross-trained, and thus must stay at their station. On average, it takes the person at the drip coffee station 1 minute to make the coffee. On average, it takes one person working at the espresso station 3 minutes to make one espresso drink. On average, it takes one person working at the food station 4.5 minutes to prepare the food for one customer. The customer mix is as follows. 10% order just a drip coffee, 30% order a drip coffee and food, 35% order just an espresso drink, and 25% order an espresso drink plus food. A total of 40 customers/ hour frequent Chris'. What is the implied utilization at the espresso station? Provide your answer in decimal form, and round to 4 decimal places. (So, if your…
