- Process time is part of cycle time. The process time of a business process refers to: a. alWways is the largest part of cycle time. b. timMe a customer spends waiting in a queue (e.g., time customer spends waiting in a drive-thru line) c. is ofFten considered to be value-added time to the customer. d. timMe from beginning to completion of the business process.Consider the problem of assigning multiple jdentical machines to an individual operator for the following situations: the loading and unloading time is 5 minutes, the independent operator activity time is 2 minutes, the independent machine activity time is 15 minutes. (a) How many machines should be assigned so that the operator will not be idle? What is the machine idle time in this case? (b) How many machines should be assigned so that machines will not be idle? What is the operator idle time in this case?Do: 12-21 Truck drivers working for Juhn and Sons (see Problems 12-19 and 12-20) are paid a salary of $20 per hour on average. Fruit loaders receive about $12 per hour. Truck drivers waiting in the queue or at the loading gate are drawing a salary but are productively idle and unable to generate revenue during that time. What would be the hourly cost savings to the firm associated with employing two loaders instead of one? Not this: 12-19 Juhn and Sons Wholesale Fruit Distributors employs one worker whose job is to load fruit on outgoing company trucks. Trucks arrive at the loading gate at an average of 24 per day, or 3 per hour, according to a Poisson distribution. The worker loads them at a rate of 4 per hour, following approximately the exponential distribution in service times. Not this: 2-20 Juhn believes that adding a second fruit loader will substantially improve the firm’s efficiency. He estimates that a two-person crew, still acting like a single-server system, at the loading…
- A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) machine installs integrated circuits onto a board. Before starting to produce a board, the PCB machine requires a 16-minute setup. Once in production, the PCB machine requires only 0.19 minute per board. a. Currently, the PCB machine produces 525 boards between setups. Given this operating process, what is the capacity of the PCB machine (in boards per min)? b. Currently, the PCB machine produces 525 boards between setups. Given this operating process, what is the utilization of the PCB machine? c. Say the PCB machine produces 400 boards s between setups and demand is 2 boards per minute. Given the operating process, what is the avergae inventory of boards anf the PCB machine? d. Demand for boards occurs at the rate of 2 boards per minute. What is the smallest batch size such that the PCB machine does not constrain the flow rate through the process?A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labour content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $10 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour while output increased by 20 carts per hour. a. The labor productivity under the old system is Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. and the new system is Blank 2. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. carts per worker per hour. b. Compute the total factor productivity under each of the systems. Old system Blank 3. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 80 carts per hour. Workers receive $10 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour, while output increased by four carts per hour.A) Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as themeasure of labor productivity.B) Compute the multifactor productivity under each system. Use carts per dollar cost (laborplus equipment) as the measure.C) Comment on the changes in productivity according to the two measures, and on which one you believe is the more pertinent for this situation.
- Toolco operates a machine shop with 22 machines. On the average, a machine breaks down every 2 hours. It takes an average of 12 minutes to complete a repair. When a machine breaks down, one of four repairpersons is called upon to do the repair. Both the time between breakdowns and the repair time are exponential. Toolco is interested in analyzing this situation and knowing the number of repairpersons needed to keep the shop running "smoothly." A = 12 = 0.5 breaks down per hour μ = 60/12 = 5 breaks down per hour System limit = K = 22 machines Source limit= K = 22 machines R = 1, 2, 3, 4. (M/M/R: GD/ K /K),Which of the following statements is TRUE? Group of answer choices The bottleneck resource is the one that determines the capacity of a process, and thus its utilization is always 100%. Because there is excess capacity compared to the bottleneck resource, non-bottleneck resource is always under-utilized, and its utilization is less than 100%. The bottleneck resource constrains the flow of the process, and thus the flow rate is always the same as the bottleneck capacity. When process is capacity constrained, utilization tells us by how much demand exceeds capacity. It is always necessary to add more capacity to the bottleneck stage to increase the Flow rate of the process.Please show in excel. The template is provided in the image. This is for a two-server system, not one. The Burger Dome is a fast-food restaurant that is currently appraising its customer service. In its current operation, an employee takes a customer’s order, tabulates the cost, receives payment from the customer, and then fills the order. Once the customer’s order is filled, the employee takes the order of the next customer waiting for service. Assume that time between each customer’s arrival is an exponential random variable with a mean of 1.35 minutes. Assume also that the time for the employee to complete the customer’s service is an exponential random variable with mean of 1 minute. Use the BurgerDome.xlsx template to complete a simulation model for the waiting line at Burger Dome for a 14-hour work day. Using the summary statistics gathered at the bottom of the spreadsheet model, answer the following questions. What is the average wait time experienced by a customer?…
- Consider an Erlang loss system. The average processing time is 3 minutes. The average interarrival time is 2 minutes. The number of servers is 4. What is the probability that all servers are busy?Before completing production, a product must passthrough three stages of production. On the average, a newproduct begins at stage 1 every 6 minutes. The average timeit takes to process the product at each stage is as follows:stage 1, 3 minutes; stage 2, 2 minutes; stage 3, 1 minute.After finishing at stage 3, the product is inspected (assumethis takes no time). Ten percent of the final products arefound to have a defective part and must return to stage 1 andgo through the entire system again. After completing stage3, 20% of the final products are found to be defective. Theymust return to stage 2 and pass through 2 and 3 again. Onthe average, how many jobs are in the system? Assume thatall interarrival times and service times are exponential andthat each stage consists of a single server.An injector machine goes down roughly 20% of the time (the injector gums up and needs to be cleaned, a quick process). One operator is assigned to service three identical such machines. Each machine can produce 100 parts/h if running properly (i.e., not down). The operator is paid $10/h and each machine costs $20/h to operate. Consider 8hr/shift a) Please fill in the table below: b) How many parts can you produce per shift? c) What is the unit cost fper part for this operation? d) If you hire another operator at the same rate to assist the first operator, what is the unit cost now? e) Is it worth hiring another operator at the same rate to assist the first operator, in case more than one machine goes down at the same time?
