- Assuming a workstation where one operator is assigned four machines. Previous work measurement studies have shown that the machine operates 75 percent of the time unattended, and the operator attention is required at irregular intervals for about 25 percent of the time. Assume a total shift time of 8 hours. How many units per day could be produced by this workstation if each machine can produce 70 units per hour running? Write your answer to 2 decimal places. Question 5arrow_forwardBenny the Barber owns a one-chair shop. At barber college, they told Benny that his customers would exhibit a Poisson arrival distribution and that he would provide an exponential service distribution. His market survey data indicate that customers arrive at a rate of 4.0 per hour. It will take Benny an average of 8 minutes to give a haircut. Based on these figures, find the following: a. The average number of customers waiting. Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places. Average number of customers waiting b. The average time a customer waits. Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

I need help with this Little's Law question in my homework: Strohrmann, a large-scale bakery in Pennsylvania, is laying out a new production process for their packaged bread, which they sell to several grocery chains. It takes 12 minutes to bake the bread. How many loaves of bread must be baked per minute to produce 4,000 loaves of bread per hour? (Round the answer to 2 decimal places.) How large an oven is required so that the company is able to produce 4,000 loaves of bread per hour, as measured in terms of the number of units that can be baked simultaneously?

- Please try to solve in 30 minute Electricians are trained in a process with two resources. The first resource has a capacity of 0.026 electricians per hour. The capacity of the second resource is 0.027 electricians per hour. The first resource has 2 workers and the second resource has 1 worker. What is the labor content (in hours)arrow_forwardCubway, the sandwich shop, is run by Jim, Tim and Kim. When a customer arrives, Jim spends 5 minutes taking order from the customer. After this, Tim prepares bread and Kim prepares filling for the order. These activities are performed in parallel, and take 6 and 12 minutes respectively. Jim then assembles the bread and filling, which takes 4 minutes of his time. Finally, Tim spends 1 minutes in delivering the order and taking payment. What is maximum number of sandwiches Cubway can make per hour? (In other words, what is the capacity of the process in sandwiches per hour?)arrow_forwardAn accounting firm is capable of processing 20 EZ tax forms per day, and the average number of forms on-hand in the office is 74 forms.
