Consider a two-station production line. Station 1 consists of a single machine with an average processing times of 1 hours per job, while Station 2 have two parallel machines which are identical with average processing times of 2 hours per job. What are the rate of the bottleneck and average raw process time for this line? rb = 1 parts/hour; To=2 hours. rb = 1 parts/hour; To=3 hours. rb = 0.5 parts/hour; To=2 hours. rb = 0.5 parts/hour; To=3 hours.

A machine makes two components; call them types A and B. It takes 630 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time, no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 second to be completed. The two components, A and B, are combined in an assembly process to make a final product; call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components into 1 unit every 4 seconds, or 15 units per minute. Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 2,520 units of A and 2,520 units of B. In that case, what is the capacity of the machine in component pairs per minute, where a component pair is one unit of A and one unit of B?   Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 2,520 units of A and 2,520 units of B. What is the utilization of the machine?   Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 2,520 units of A and 2,520 units of B. What is the average inventory of B components?   If the production schedule could be adjusted with…

In a multi-station serial process system, the capacity of the system is the equal to the capacity of the station that has the highest capacity among all stations. True False

These four phases make up a machine cycle, which is also known as a process loop. What percentage of a machine's cycle time do you value the most? Should I be concerned about replacing parts of the machine cycle when they wear out? Is the problem of switching modules improved by adding a second module?
