Cakes baked by the Freshfood Bakery are transported from the ovens to be packaged by one of three wrappers. Each wrapper can wrap an average of 200 cakes per hour. The cakes are brought to the wrappers at the rate of 500 per hour. If a cake sits longer than 5 minutes before being wrapped, it will not be fresh enough to meet the bakery’s quality control standards. Does the bakery need to hire another wrapper?

In some circumstances, where AJAX is too busy and does not have capacity to fulfil deliveries or they do not cover certain areas, only then will Prybloxx make use of a different courier company. Prybloxx has recently had a significant influx of customer complaints regarding goods that have not been delivered, delivered long after the agreed delivery time or damaged once they arrive at the customer. Prybloxx is aware of the effect that this could have on demand for their product, customer goodwill and are now investigating insourcing the delivery of their product to customers. Prybloxx has noted that they have two alternatives in insourcing this department – they can either purchase a local courier company that is considered a going concern or they can purchase all of the required assets and set up such a department themselves.

The company has developed cost and price sheets so that the service technicians accurately and consistently price the service work they perform.
- Terex Corporation is a global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and materials processing machinery. They design, build and support products such as large lifting equipment used in construction. The company makes most pieces to order and customizes them to meet customers’ unique preferences.Terex maintained a manual system for yard management at their transfer centre in Washington that is always full of lifting equipment, which generated excessive costs for what should have been a relatively simple process of locating customers’ units to prepare them for delivery. A wallboard and sticker system was a low-tech solution for identifying equipment items in the yard at Terex. While inexpensive in itself, the solution cost around six minutes every time an employee had to locate a unit in the yard. It also required a considerable number of hours to be spent each month taking physical inventories. After a successful pilot, the company approved a new solution, replacing stickers, yard maps,…Terex Corporation is a global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and materials processing machinery.

At each stage, a single product is processed at a time, and processing takes an average of 15 seconds at the first station and 12 seconds at the second station. Inter-arrival times and service times are exponentially distributed. At the end of the second step, the product goes through a quality check. 5% of the parts fail the quality check and are sent back to the second stage of service. Parts exit the system only after they pass the quality check. Ignoring the time required to perform the quality check or in moving the part through the facility, what is the average cycle time for parts?
