A company is in the business of machining parts that go through various work centers. Suppose work center A feeds work center B with parts. The following times (in minutes) are given for each work center. A standard kanban container holds 50 parts that are transferred from work center A to work center B. The demand rate at work center B is four parts per minute. a. How many kanban containers are needed for this situation? b. If move time is cut in half, what does this do to the number of containers needed? How much will this change reduce inventory?

- Lead Time Gourmet Helper Appliance Company manufactures home kitchen appliances. The manufacturing process includes stamping, final assembly, testing and shipping. In the stamping operation, a number of individuals are responsible for stamping the steel outer surface of the appliance. The stamping operation is set up prior to each run. A run of 75 stamping is completed after each setup. A setup requires 40 minutes the parts wait for the setup to be completed before stamping begins. Each stamping requires 5 minutes of operating time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves stamp the stamped covers to the final assembly area. This move takes 10 minutes to complete. The final assembly for each appliance unit requires 18 minutes and is also done in batches of 75 appliance units. The batch of 75 appliance units is moved into the test building, which is crossed street. The move takes 25 minutes. In the final test, the 75 unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test…arrow_forward4arrow_forwardAnswers letters f and garrow_forward

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. Table 7.5lists the setup times for a batch and the activity times for each unit at each step.a. What is the process capacity in dolls per hour with a batch size of 500 dolls? b.

- New Mode Y Delay A Yost-Perry Industries (YPI) manufactures a mix of affordable guitars (A, B, C) that are fabricated and assembled at four different processing stations (W, X, Y, Z). The operation is a batch process with small setup times that can be considered negligible. The product information (price, weekly demand, and processing times) and process sequences are shown below. Purchased parts and raw materials (shown as a per-unit consumption rate) are represented by inverted triangles. YPI is able to make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week with no penalties incurred for not meeting the full demand. Each workstation is staffed by one highly skilled worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $15 per hour. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day and operates on a 5-day work week (i.e., 40 hours of production per person per week). Overhead costs are $9,000/week.

Before a batch is processed at a step, the machine at that step must be set up. (During a setup, the machine is unable to process any product.) Assume that there is a dedicated setup operator for each machine (i.e., there is always someone available to perform a setup at each machine.) a.

The drilling operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with the sawing and sanding operations. Welding starts when both drilling and sanding operations have been completed.
