The Yum and Yee food truck near the business school serves customers during lunch hour by taking orders and making fresh batches of stir-fry. Customers have only one choice during the lunch hour so that Y&Y can maximize the number of customers served. Assume that each customer places just one lunch order, and all lunch orders are the same size: one unit of stir-fry. The stir-fry cooking works in this manner. First, one person cooks a batch of orders in a wok. The cooking depends upon the number of orders in the batch. The time to cook just one order is 3 minutes. For each additional order in the batch, it takes 0.5 minute more to cook. Thus, cooking two orders in a batch takes 3.5 minutes, cooking three orders takes 4 minutes, and so on. The other process is bagging and accepting payments (done by a separate person), which takes 0.80 minute per order.
What is the setup time of this process?
answer:_______minutes

Customers have only one choice during the lunch hour, since the objective is to maximize the number of customers served. Assume that each customer places just one lunch order, and all lunch orders are the same size-one unit of stir-fry. The stir fry cooking works in this manner. First, a batch of orders is cooked in a wok by one person. The cooking depends upon the number of orders in the batch. The time to cook just one order i 6.5 minutes.

- . A commercial orchard grows, picks, and packs apples and pears. A peck (quarter bushel) of apples takes 4 minutes to pick and 5 minutes to pack; a peck of pears takes 5 minutes to pick and 4 minutes to pack. Only one picker and one packer are available. How many pecks each of apples and pears should be picked and packet every hour (60 minutes) if the profit is $3/peck for apples and $2/peck for pears? Solve graphically as a linear program and confirm analytically.arrow_forwardJCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, Gateway, and others. In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching. Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip. Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built. Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures. The table below lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. There is unlimited space for buffer inventory between these steps.

On average, the demand is 80 donuts per day for EACH type. The store has only one machine, which makes both types, and once it starts, it produces one donut every 2 minutes for either type. The production alternates between the two types, i.e., a batch of one type is followed by a batch of the other. The setup time is 20 minutes for either type. If the batch size is 10 donuts per batch, what is the capacity per day for each type of donut? If the batch size is 20 donuts per batch, what is the capacity per day for each type of donut? What is the minimal batch size in order to satisfy demand for both types? If the setup time is 8 minutes for either type, and the batch size is 20 donuts per batch, what is the capacity per day for each type of donut?

Thecompany operates on a 40-hour workweek. The eight versions differ in doll skin, hair,and eye color, enabling most children to have a doll with a similar appearance to them.It currently sells an average of 4000 dolls (spread equally among its eight versions) perweek to boutique toy retailers. In simplified terms, doll making at Kinga involves threebasic operations: molding the body and hair, painting the face, and dressing the doll.Changing over between versions requires setup time at the molding and painting stationsdue to the different colors of plastic pellets, hair, and eye color paint required.
