What is the average labor utilization? ______percentarrow_forwardn a manufacturing process, a molded part spends 7 hours in inventory before being placed in a deburring machine, where the part is processed for 2 minutes. After deburring, the part spends 4 hours in inventory waiting for its turn on the polishing machine. The part then spends 7 minutes in polishing before waiting 6 hours in line to be painted. The part goes through a painting process that takes 7 minutes, then spends 11 hours in inventory before being shipped to the customer. What is the percentage of value-added time for the part?arrow_forwardFor the production of part R-193, two operations are being considered. The capital investment associated with each operation is identical. Operation 1 produces 2,100 parts per hour. After each hour, the tooling must be adjusted by the machine operator. This adjustment takes 15 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 1 is paid $24 per hour (this includes fringe benefits). Operation 2 produces 2,350 parts per hour, but the tooling needs to be adjusted by the operator only once every two hours. This adjustment takes 45 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 2 is paid $13 per hour (this includes fringe benefits). Assume an 8-hour workday. Further assume that all parts produced can be sold for $0.35 each. a. Should Operation 1 or Operation 2 be recommended? b. What is the basic tradeoff in this problem?arrow_forward
- The cost infomation of an old process unit that has a capacity of 5,400 ft'/hr and a total cost of $8,500,000 is used to find the cost of a new unit that has a capacity of 8,500 t'hr. Assuming the total cost of the new unit is $12,000,000 you are required to state: 1. The method and equation that you will use to find that cost, 2. The value of the corresponding factor, 3.

An employee of a fast food chain has to arrive at work 15 minutes early to change into the“mascot” costume and it typically takes another 15 minutes at the end of the shift to change outof the costume and properly store it. Due to the cost of the costume, employees are notallowed to take the costume home. The “mascots” typically work from 10am – 2pm, to coverthe lunch rush periods. How much time would be “compensable” for the mascots, assumingthe conditions/schedule listed above?2) George is a Radiology Technician at a local hospital and when on call, is required to be nofurther than 30 minutes away from the facility.

- Chairs are made in a process with a single resource. There are two types of chairs. The resource's processing time for the first type is 30 minutes and demand for this type is 2.3 chairs per hour. The resource's processing time for the second type is 23 minutes and demand for this type is 2.8 chairs per hour. There is 1 worker at this resource. Instruction: Round your answer to one decimal place. What is the implied utilization (%) of this resource?arrow_forwardA recurring maintenance job in a factory is being done by a three-man crew. Due to the nature of the job and space limitations, it was observed that two of the men were idle 37% of the time; one of the men was also idle an additional of the time, and at any given time only one man was required. The men were each paid P24.00 per hour. Each time the job was performed a set of tools and equipment with a value equivalent to P36.00 per hour was used. If the three-men crew could complete the work in 5 hours, which crew size would be the most economicalarrow_forwardThe process for renewing a driver's license at the Archer County Courthouse is as follows.
