a)
To determine: To design the sequence of production process that will fulfill the demand.
Introduction:
Lean production is a system for the management in which it focuses on reducing waste, checking the quality, and all the efforts are put to fulfill the market needs. All the activities starting from manufacturing to distribution are managed efficiently through the lean system.
b)
To determine: To compute the repetition of sequence per day.

c)
To determine: To explain the sequence that is decided offers quick adjustments when the changes in demand takes place and its impact on the component demand.

- Describe how lean systems can facilitate the continuous improvement of processes.arrow_forwardThe Harvey Motorcycle Company produces three models: the Tiger, a sure-footed dirt bike; the LX2000, a nimble cafe racer; and the Golden, a large interstate tourer. The month's master production schedule calls for the production of 36 Goldens, 26 LX2000s, and 34 Tigers per 10-hour shift. What average cycle time is required for the assembly line to achieve the production quota in 10 hours? 0.104 hours per motorcycle. (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.) If mixed-model scheduling is used, how many of each model will be produced before the production cycle is repeated? The greatest common divisor of the production requirements is. Therefore, the Harvey Motorcycle Company will produce Goldens, LX2000s, and Tigers. (Enter your responses as integers.)arrow_forwardSolvo produces three types of trucks on one assembly line: the long-haul (L), the short-haul (S) and the vocational truck (V). Next month the company has orders for 1300 long-haul trucks, 1,950 short-haul trucks, and 650 vocational trucks. Chris Riggs, the production manager for Solvo, wants to try uniform production and mixed-model sequencing. Assuming 20 working days per month, what assembly sequence would you recommend and how many times per day should the sequence be repeated? (Round answer to 0 decimal place, e.g. 9.) Assembly sequence Sequence should be repeated___________________times.arrow_forward
- The welding department supplies parts to the final assembly line. Management decides to implement a kanban system and has collected the following data: The daily demand is 2000 units. The production lead time is 4 days (this includes processing time, transport time, and waiting time). Management has decided to have 1 day of safety stock. One container fits 400 units. How many kanban containers will be needed to support this system?arrow_forwardTo what extent can lean thinking be implemented in accounting and finance, as well as human resources, marketing and operations management?arrow_forwardSolvo produces three types of trucks on one assembly line: the long-haul (L), the short-haul (S), and the vocational truck (V).
