An industrial facility employs 1,200 people and they are to eat in three equal 30- min shifts. Cafeteria plans to use 36 inch square tables and also plan to have a vending machine area to be used in conjunction with the cafeteria food service. According to capacity studies they have on hand, a service line that is capable of serving 75 employees in the first third of each meal shift. With the above information, how much space should be planned for a full service food service facility (cafeteria with vending machines, serving lines plus full kitchen)?

Capacity planning exercise A department works one eight hour shift, 250 days a year. How many machines (with the given processing times) would be needed to handle the required volume? Annual demand Standard processing time/ unit (h) Total time needed 50000 5   80000 8   100000 4   60000 6   Total:       What would be the utilization rate for each machine?

st K Southeastern Oklahoma State University's business program has the facilities and faculty to handle an enrollment of 2,000 new students per semester. However, in an effort to limit class sizes to a "reasonable" level (under 200, generally), Southeastern's dean, Holly Lutze, placed a ceiling on enrollment of 1,500 new students. Although there was ample demand for business courses last semester, conflicting schedules allowed only 1,420 new students to take business courses. The utilization rate for Southeastern = 71% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place). The efficiency rate for Southeastern % (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place). elp

The current ED and outpatient surgery department have experienced tremendous growth in the past several years. ED visits have increased by 50 percent, and similar increases have been seen in outpatient surgery. Management has identified that inefficient patient flow processes, particularly patient transfers and discharges, have resulted in backlogs in the ED and outpatient areas. The new construction will only exacerbate the current problem. Nearly a year ago Doctors’ Hospital made a commitment to purchase a capacity management software suite to reduce the inefficiencies that have been identified in patient flow processes. The original timeline was to have the new system pilot-tested prior to the opening of the new ED and surgical pavilion. However, with the competing priorities its members face as they deal with major construction, the original project steering committee has stalled. At its last meeting nearly six months ago, the steering committee identified the vendor and product…

Explanation of how the capacity analysis reacts to several processes running in simultaneously.

Problem 14-8 (Algo) What cycle time would match capacity and demand if demand is 162 units a day, there are 2 shift(s) of 447 minutes each, and workers are given four 40 minute breaks during each shift, one of which is for lunch or dinner? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Cycle time minutes per cycle

However, in an effort to limit class sizes to a "reasonable" level (under 200, generally), Southeastern's dean, Holly Lutze, placed a ceiling on enrollment of 1,600 new students. Although there was ample demand for business courses last semester, conflicting schedules allowed only 1,440 new students to take business courses. The utilization rate for Southeastern=% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place).

Thomas Pang Furniture produced 70,000 Executive chairs per week. The effective capacity is 71,000 chairs. The production line operates 5 days per week with two 6-hour shifts per day. The line was designed to process the Executive chairs at the rate of 1,200 per hour. Determine the design capacity, utilization and efficiency for this plant when producing the Executive chair. Thomas Pang Furniture now needs to increase production of the Executive chairs. A second production line will be added. Effective capacity on this second line is the same as the first line at 71,000 Executive chairs. The first line is operating at a higher efficiency but output on the second line will be no more than 75% because the crew will be primarily new hires. Determine the expected output of this second line.

Is 40 hours enough capacity? If not, what short-term capacity solution would you recommend?

You are the foreperson of a processing plant that produces Vidalia onion relish. The relish is produced in an assembly line plant with stations with the following characteristics: Station Min Crew Station Capacity Max Crew Wage Rate Labor Standard Receiving Sorting Chopping Mixing Bottling Boxing/Shipping Administration 2 5000 lb/hr 4 $8.00/hr 1,500 lb/hr 2 6,000 5 $7.50 1,000 3,000 1,500 1 6,000 2 $8.00 2 $8.50 5,000 5,000 4 1 2 $9.50 2,500 2 9,000 4 $7.00 1,500 2 $20.00 Utilities at the plant run at $50/hr regardless of the plant speed. 1. Construct the total labor cost curve for this plant using the economic engin- nering approach outlined in class. Report the costs in a table and on a graph (doesn't need to be perfectly to scale) for quantities 0 to 5000 lb/hr. Assume that your relish has two ingredients: onion and spices. The onion costs $0.50 per pound, the spices cost $0.25 per jar, the jar costs $0.05, and the case for 12 jars costs $0.25. Each jar holds one pound of relish…
