A bottled water production process is described by the following flowchart. Production Setup 40 seconds /pack Bottle Sanitization 40 seconds /pack Water Filtering 70 seconds /pack Conveyor Belt 20 seconds /pack Bottle Filling 120 seconds /pack Bottle Filling 120 seconds /pack Bottle Filling 120 seconds /pack Packing 60 seconds /pack First, the process is set up for 40 seconds per pack of 6 bottles. Bottles making up each pack are then sanitized for 40 seconds per pack, while water 15 filtered for 70 seconds per pack. A conveyor belt then takes 20 seconds to transport each pack to one of three identical bottle filling stations. A bottle filling station takes 120 seconds to process each pack. Finally, the products go through a single packing station, which takes 60 seconds/pack. 1 1.What is the bottleneck activity in this production process? Answer: 2.

- The Flip Chip Company manufactures nacho chips, potato chips, and related products. There has been a problem in the manufacture of nacho chips. The process begins with the mixing of water, corn and lime (called the MASA). A mixer can produce a batch of 300 lbs of MASA in 2 minutes. The MASA is then cooked. This takes 30 minutes. Only 95% of the MASA makes it to the ovens and of that only 75% is transferred to the next step. There are four ovens. The next step is chip making. The MASA is extruded into the chip itself and the chips are baked. There are 2 chip machines. A total of 950 chips/minute are produced (each chip weighs approximately .5oz). The yield from this process is 72%. The chips are then placed in 20 oz bags. This step takes 2 seconds for each bag. Where is the bottleneck? What recommendation would you make?ABC Manufacturing is evaluating the desirability of implementing process improvements and is seeking your help in determining whether it should proceed with the proposed improvements. One area of focus is how the improvements will affect processing time (manufacturing cycle time efficiency). Estimated activities and associated times for these activities under both the current process and after process improvements are as follows: Process Activity Current Process After Process Improvements Wait time 4 hours 1 hour Inspection 40 minutes 5 minutes Moving 80 minutes 20 minutes Processing (manufacturing) 2 hours 75 minutes Required: 1. Determine the manufacturing (production) lead time (in minutes) for each of the two decision alternatives. 2. Determine the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each decision alternative.Great Valley Income Tax Advice GV is a small accounting firm supporting wealthy individuals in their preparation of annual income tax statements.

These should be, given their name, exactly one foot long (i.e., this is actually the reason why American Football is called “Football”!), with a LSL of 11.9 inches and an USL of 12.1 inches. Currently, the production process generates footballs with an average length of 12.08 inches and a standard deviation of 0.01 inches. By how much can we improve the process capability of this process if we centered the mean? a. By 80% from 2 to 10 b. By 83% from 0.67 to 3.33 c. By 400% from 0.67 to 3.33 d.
