a) What is the bottleneck of this process?
b) What is the hourly capacity of the process?
•• S7.15 A production process at Kenneth Day Manufacturing is shown in Figure S7.9. The drilling operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with, sawing and sanding, which are independent and sequential operations. A product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel).
a) Which operation is the bottleneck?
b) What is the bottleneck time?
c) What is the throughput time of the overall system?
d) If the firm operates 8 hours per day. 20 days per month, what is the monthly capacity of the manufacturing process?

Manufacturing Company uses FIFO method of accumulating costs in a two-department process. Materials are introduced at the inception of the process except for a special material which is added in department 2 at 60% completion as to overhead. Inspection is done at the end of the process in both departments. Production data for Department 2 are given below:
In process, beginning, (80% labor, 70% overhead)2,000 Transferred in 14,900 In process, ending (40% labor, 20% overhead) 3,000 Normal spoilage 200 Abnormal spoilage (found at 30% completion as to laborand 15% as to overhead due to internal failure) 400 Cost data for the month:In process beginning:Transferred in 15,020 Special materials 1,900 Direct labor 4,388 Overhead 11,044 Current costs:Transferred in 137,080 Special materials 14,030 Direct labor 46,000 Overhead 113,564

Beth Zion Hospital has received initial certification from the state of California to become a center for liver
transplants. The hospital, however, must complete its first 10 transplants under great scrutiny and at no cost to the
patients with the hospital picking the expenses. The cost per hour of surgery is estimated to be $5,000. The very first
transplant, just completed, required 27 hours. On the basis of research at the hospital, Beth Zion estimates that it will
have an 75% learning curve. Using Table E.3, estimate the time it will take to complete:
a) the 10th transplant
hours
(round your response to two decimal places).

The manager of the department that will produce one of the components for the product wants to know how often the machine used to produce the item will be available for other work. The machine will produce the item at a rate of 200 units a day. Eighty units will be used daily in assembling the final product. Assembly will take place five days a week, 50 weeks a year. The manager estimates that it will take almost a full day to get the machine ready for a production run, at the cost of $300. Inventory holding costs will be $10 a year. QUESTION: Suppose the manager decides to increase the run size of the new product. How many additional units would be needed just to accommodate the other job? How much will that increase the total annual cost?arrow_forward
