An order for 200 units of a product is processed on work
centers A and B. The
set up time on A is 45 minutes and the run time is 5 minutes per piece. The
set up time on B is 40 minutes and the run time is 8 minutes per piece. The
wait time between the two operations is 2 hours. The move time between A
and B is 15 minutes. Wait time after operation B is 1 hour and the move time
into stores is 50 minutes. There is no queue at either work station. Calculate
the total manufacturing lead time for the order.

- A cell-phone repair shop consists of three processes. Step 1 requires 4 minutes per unit, step 2 requires 6 minutes per unit and step 3 requires 2 minutes per unit. 40% of units that complete the third step require rework, which means those units must start the process over at step 2 (processing times are the same for units being reworked) and rework is always successful. Demand at the shop is 0.8 units per minute. Instruction: Round your answer to three decimal places. What is the capacity of the shop (in units per units per minute)? units per minutearrow_forwardThree jobs are in the queue. The number of tickets each has and the number of seconds of processing time each requires are shown in Table 2. Assume that quanta of CPU time are sufficiently small, and that no other processes get any tickets before the last of these processes complete. For the following questions, please circle the correct answer from the candidate list. Table 2 Using lottery scheduling algorithm, Job # Tickets CPU time turnaround time for Job 1 is 30 10 (a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 2 30 15 turnaround time for Job 2 is (a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 3 40 10 turnaround time for Job 3 is (a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 average turnaround time is (a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 When using lottery scheduling algorithm, what is the turnaround time for Job 1, Job 2, and Job 3? And what is the average turnaround time? 1.arrow_forwardA bank is processing job applications. The typical processing time for one application is 4 weeks. The bank can process 5 applications per week. The department is trying to improve efficiency by reducing the processing time to 2 weeks. What is the reduction of applications under review after the efficiency improvement?arrow_forward
- A veterinary office with three processes (examination, greeting, and checkout) has two types of customers (boarding and medical). A veterinary office has a demand of 2 boarding customers per hour and 5 medical customers per hour. Boarding customers visit the greeting and checkout processes while medical customers visit all three processes. What is the total demand at the checkout process each hour? customers per hourarrow_forwardApples are prepared in a process with two resources. The first resource has a capacity of 2.1 apples per minute. The capacity of the second resource is 4.4 apples per minute. The first resource has 1 worker and the second resource has 4 workers. One additional worker is hired who is as productive as the current workers. What is the new capacity of this process? _____ apples per minutearrow_forwardFor every online course, the applications that students are required to use will be the same. True O Falsearrow_forward
- Plearrow_forwardThe 4M company has a lathe as the centerpiece of the plant's work. The jobs arrive according to a Poisson process with an average rate of 2 per day. The processing time of each job is exponentially distributed with an average of 1/ 4 day. Since the jobs are large, if they are not in process they are stored in a warehouse some distance from the machine. However, to save time in bringing them in, the production manager proposes to add space for 3 in-process jobs in addition to the one on the lathe (the rest will continue to be stored). With this proposal, what proportion of the time will the space next to the lathe be adequate for the waiting jobs? Calculate your answer using the formulas available.arrow_forwardWhich of these changes will serve to break order synchronization?arrow_forward
- There are six workers, one at each of the six stations (A-F). They begin their workday at 8:00a.m. and work steadily until 4:00 pm. (They are replaced with other workers for breaks and lunches, but the production is not slowed or stopped during these times.) Their hourly wage rate is $25 per hour. You can assume unlimited demand. What is the average labor utilization (you can ignore any start-up or empty system effects) of the six workers? Please give your answer in decimal form (e.g. 0.5 for 50% utilization).arrow_forwardRollmore, a non-union manufacturing company decides it needs input on improving its work processes and procedures and decides to create employee committees to provide general feedback about things such as work rules and organizational policies and practices in hopes of improving efficiency. Rollmore asks ten employees to serve on such committees. Rollmore asks these employees to bring to their meetings, which include management representatives, concerns and ideas from their coworkers. Rollmore schedules these committees to meet once a month for two hours and provides lunch and a conference room for the participants. Are these employee committees legal or illegal? Why or why not?arrow_forwardAn employee arrives to work at 8:00 AM and is scheduled to conduct blood specimen testing. The equipment, however, is not working and cannot be repaired until at least 9:30 AM. In the interim, the supervisor instructs the employee to stay in the department until the repair specialist arrives. While waiting the employee does some studying for a course he is taking at the local community college.Is the employer obligated to pay the employee for the time the employee studies?arrow_forward
