Q4: The Dynaco Manufacturing Company produces a particular product in an assembly line operation. One of the machines on the line is a drill press that has a single assembly line feeding into it. A partially completed unit arrives at the press to be worked on every 7.5 minutes, on average. The machine operator can process an average of 10 parts per hour. a: Determine the average number of parts waiting to be worked on, b: the percentage of time the operator is working, and c: the percentage of time the machine is idle. 1 d: The management of Dynaco Manufacturing Company likes to have its operators working 90% of the time. What must the assembly line arrival rate be for the operators to be as busy as management would like?
