AB1B2B3C1C2C3D1D2D3EA service process is described by the above flowchart. After going throughworkstation A, an order needs to be processed by one of the three lines, B1-C1-D1,B2-C2-D2, or B3-C3-D3 (in other words, they are substitutable). Finally, all ordersneed to go through workstation E.The capacities of the individual workstations are given as follows:Workstation A has a capacity of 3 orders/hour• Workstation B1, B2, and B3 have the same capacity of 4 orders/hour• Workstation C1, C2, and C3 have the same capacity of 3 orders/hour• Workstation D1, D2, and D3 have the same capacity of 4 orders/hour• Workstation E has a capacity of 6 orders/hourWhat is process time of this service process in minutes?

Process time is equal to the time taken to complete one cycle through start to end.

The assembly department started the month with 468,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory. An additional 1,524,000 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 126,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department. How many units were transferred to the next processing department during the month? a. 1,992,000 b. 1,992,000 c. 2,118,000 d. 1,866,000 e. 1,398,000 f. 1,182,000
Examine the diagram, which contains the processing order for a transaction file and a master file for a sequential file update process. Indicate the order in which the transactions are processed. Indicate which master file records are updated and which are read and written, unchanged, into the new master file. Also illustrate the relationship between the transaction file and the master file, that is, T = M, T < M, and T > M, in your answer. How would the update change if a direct access file is used instead?
EU Company manufactures two different types of life vests (A and B) that are manufactured and assembled on three different workstations (W, X, and Y) using a small-batch process (see Figure 1). Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchart denotes the path each product follows through the manufacturing process, and each product’s price, demand per week, and processing times per unit are indicated as well. Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during production are represented by inverted triangles. EU can make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penalties are incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $6 per hour for an entire week, regardless of how much the worker is used. Total labor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are $1,500/week. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day, or 40 hours/week. Which of the three workstations, W,…
A process improvement team is working to improve the production output at the Johnson Manufacturing plant’sHeader Cell that manufactures a key component, headers, used in commercial air conditioners. A header is partof the circulatory system of a commercial air conditioner that moves coolant between various components suchas the evaporator coil and the condenser coil. Currently, the header production cell is scheduled separately fromthe main work in the plant. Often, individual headers are not sequenced to match the product they go into on thefinal assembly line in a timely fashion, and so the product can sit in queue waiting for a header
The following table contains order-dependent setup times for four jobs. For safety reasons, jobC cannot follow job A, nor can job A follow job C.

A production line is a set of sequential operations established in a factory plant where components are assembled to make a finished product or where materials are put through a refining process to produce an end-product that is suitable for onward consumption. Ford have seven production lines in their manufacturing plant for their automotive parts where each production line produces 120, 100, 80, 116, 77, 94, 112 output per day. (a) As the Production Manager at Ford, you are required to submit the daily report of the production plant. Calculate the mean, median, and mode from the data based on the output that has been provided. (b) Also calculate the three critical parameters for measuring spread in the following ways: Range Variance Standard Deviation

Ajax Manufacturing Inc. (Centralized System With Distributed Terminals) The following describes the conversion cycle processes for AJAX Manufacturing Inc., which employs a centralized computer system with distributed terminals in the departments. The current batch production process at AJAX is initiated from a marketing forecast of expected sales for the quarter. The production planning and control clerk uses this to create a digital production schedule of the various batches to be produced during the quarter. From this schedule, the system automatically produces digital work orders. The production department supervisor accesses the work orders from his terminal and prints the necessary hard-copy move tickets and materials requisitions. The move tickets and two copies of the purchase requisitions are distributed to each work center in the production process. Employees submit the material requisitions to storekeeping in exchange for materials and subassemblies. If additional raw…

Pizza Egoli (Pty) Ltd has eight outlets in Gauteng. All these outlets are owned by the company. Decisions are centralised and are made by the original founder of the business. All outlets use wood fires when making the pizzas. However, due to clients complaining about the time that it takes to make the pizzas, top management has decided to completely revise the processes in the outlets – from ordering the pizzas to receiving the final product. This meant that at least two employees per outlet will lose their jobs as new types of skill will be required in the outlets.Question:Suggest a change process to the Top Management of Pizza Egoli (Pty) Ltd that will ensure that the outlets are managed successfully
