a)
To determine: The minimum and maximum cycle time.
Introduction:
Range of output:
The range of output is the range within which the daily output is likely to occur. It is dependent on the minimum and maximum cycle time.
b)
To determine: The range of output.
Introduction:
Range of output:
The range of output is the range within which the daily output is likely to occur. It is dependent on the minimum and maximum cycle time.
c)
To determine: The minimum number of workstations if the maximum output is selected per day.
Range of output:
The range of output is the range within which the daily output is likely to occur. It is dependent on the minimum and maximum cycle time.
d)
To determine: The cycle time for the output of 125 units per day.

- What is the bottleneck of the process is which worker ?arrow_forwardPlease provide answers in sentences. Thanks in advance!arrow_forwardScenario C: Suppose you are given the process flowchart shown below. There are no buffers between tasks. Task 1 and 2 produce "Part A", and Task 3 and 4 produce "Part B"; Task 5 assembles each unit of a finished product by combining one unit of "Part A" with one unit of "Part B". Using this, answer the next 3 questions: Tpt Cap. = 10 units/hour Task 1 Tpt Cap. = 15 units/hour Task 3 Tpt Cap. = 5 units/hour Task 2 Tpt Cap. = 8 units/hour Task 4 Tpt Cap. = 20 units/hour Task 5 FGIarrow_forward

There currently is one person assigned to each task below. The optometrist assigned to task B takes an hour off for lunch and the other employees work the entire day. Task: Greet/resister the patient 2 min / patient Optometrist conducts eye exam 30 min / patient Frame/lenses selection 15 min / patient Glasses made ( process 6 prs. at same time ) 54 min / patient Final fitting 5 min / patient For a typical 10-hour retail day (10a-8p) the manager would like to calculate the following: Assuming every patient requires glasses, what is the current maximum output of the process per day? If another person was added, where is the logical place? A,B,C, D, OR E.arrow_forwardThe Simple process has 4 steps. Step 1 & 3 has two resource units, while Step 2 and 3 only has one. The time it takes each resource unit to complete the step is also shown on the diagram. I need help understanding these and the steps that needs to be taken to answer these questions (i) What is the total capacity of the resource units in (units/hr) at each step? (ii) At which of the four steps is there a bottleneck resource pool? (iii) What is the overall process capacity? (iv) If 300 units/hr worth of raw materials flowed into the process, what would be thethroughput of the process?arrow_forward
- A process is scheduled to run 24 hours every weekday across 3 shifts. Each shift gets a 20-minute break. There is also a 10-minute production meeting at the start of each shift. The total operation time for 1 part is 0.8 minute. The demand for the product is 275,000 parts per week. a) Determine the TAKT time for the process and explain briefly what this means. b) Determine the number of workers required for the process.arrow_forwardThe M–N plant manufactures two different products: M and N. Selling prices and weekly market demands are shown in the following diagram. Each product uses raw materials with costs as shown. The plant has three different machines: A, B, and C. Each performs different tasks and can work on only one unit of material at a time. Process times for each task are shown in the diagram. Each machine is available 2,500 minutes per week. There are no "Murphys" (major opportunities for the system to foul up). Setup and transfer times are zero. Demand is constant. Operating expenses (including labor) total a constant $12,000 per week. Raw materials are not included in weekly operating expenses. a.
