Case study: Planning at High Performance Pumps Introduction High Performance Pumps is a small, successful manufacturing organization that specializes in manufacturing a range of pumps. This success is due to the performance, quality and reliability of the product and the excellent back-up service. The pumps range in size from 075 mm to larger pumps. The smaller pumps are manufactured in batches of 100 and the large specials in batches of five. However, regardless of size, all pumps use the same manufacturing processes. Manufacturing processes and planning There is a major common component for all pumps and this is a camshaft. The size of the camshaft varies according to the size of the pump. The process skills involved in the camshaft manufacture are highly developed and considered cost-effective compared with competitors. In fact, one of the areas of expansion is the design and manufacture of camshafts for other companies for their products, with camshaft production increasing by 400…

Suppose you are in charge of a large mailing to the alumniof your college inviting them to contribute to a scholarshipfund. The letters and envelopes have been individually ad-dressed (mailing labels were not used). The letters are to beprocessed (matched with correct envelope, time estimated tobe 0.2 minutes each), folded (0.12 minutes each), and stuffedinto the correct envelope (0.10 minutes each). The envelopesare to be sealed (0.05 minutes each), and a large commemo-rative stamp is to be placed in the upper right-hand corner ofeach envelope (0.10 minutes each).a. Make a process chart for this activity, assuming that it is aone-person operation.b. Estimate how long it will take to stuff, seal, and stamp 2,000envelopes. Assume that the person doing this work is paid$8 per hour. How much will it cost to process 2,000 letters?c. Consider each of the following process changes. Whichchanges would reduce the time and cost of the currentprocess?▪ Each letter has the same greeting, “Dear…

Virginia College promotes a wide variety of executive training courses for firms in the Arlington, Virginia, region. Director Wendy Tate believes that individually typed letters add a personal touch to marketing. To prepare letters for mailing, she conducts a time study of her secretaries. On the basis of the observations shown in the following table, she wishes to develop a time standard for the whole job. Performance Observation (minutes per cycle) Element Rating 1 2 3 4 6 Typing letter Typing envelope Stuffing envelope 85% 2.5 3.5 2.8 2.1 2.6 3.3 100 % 0.8 0.8 0.6 0.8 3.1* 0.7 95% 0.4 0.5 1.9* 0.3 0.6 0.5 Sealing, sorting 125% 1.0 2.9^ 0.9 1.0 4.4^ 0.9 * Disregard-secretary stopped to answer the phone * Disregard-interruption by supervisor The college uses a total allowance factor of 12%. Tate decides to delete all unusual observations from the time study. The standard time for this process = minutes (round your response to two decimal places).
