Professor Cook teaches operations management at StateUniversity. She is scheduled to give her class of 35 students a final exam on the last day of exam week, and she is leav-ing town the same day. She is concerned about her ability to finish grading her exams. She estimates that with every-thing else she has to do she has only five hours to grade the exams. From past experience she knows the first exam will take her about 12 minutes to grade. She estimates her learn-ing curve to be about 90%, and it will be fully realized after about 10 exams. Will she get the exams graded on time?

A batch includes a fixed setup time for the entire batch at each process step and a run time for each piece in the batch. Both large and small tables have the same processing times. The capacities of each process step are given, and apply to production of either type of table, as shown in the flowchart.a. What is the capacity of the system, and what is the bottleneck?b. What are the throughput times for batches of large and small tables?c. When producing at a rate of six small tables per hour on average, how many tables will be in the system?

A student on a medical-surgical unit at a community hospital is currently enrolled in a HIT program at the local university. As part of the requirements for the HIT course, She is required to do an assignment linking health care interventions and patient outcomes. She returns to her place of employment at night for two weeks to audit patient charts and collect the data she needs for her assignment. She makes copies of the patient records that are particularly helpful and takes them home to write the final paper. Consider the following What, if anything, should the student have done differently in completing her college assignment instead of taking the medical records home with her?

Natura has to fill 7 orders for its clients. He requires placing the required product in work boxes and subsequently closing them properly so that the product reaches the customer correctly. The process consists of filling the box and later closing it. As the content of each box and the size of these is different, the filling and closing times of each order is different. These times are shown in the table below. Orders Place in box (minutes) Closing Box (minutes) 1 9 6 2 8 5 3 7 7 4 6 3 5 1 2 6 2 6 7 4 7 a) Find the sequence to complete the orders in the shortest time possible. b) Using a Gantt chart, find the total time in which all orders will be completed using the sequence from part a.
William Beebe owns a small shoe store. He has 10 pairs of shoes that requireresoling and polishing. He has a machine that can resole one pair of shoes at atime, and the time required for the operation varies with the type and condition of theshoe and the type of sole that is used. Shoes are polished on a machine dedi-cated tothis purpose as well, and polishing is always done after resoling. His assistant generally does the polishing while Mr. Beebe does the resoling.

Consider a law firm with 15 lawyers and 3 paralegals. The firm is struggling to keep up with the high demand for its services, particularly during the busy litigation seasons. It has been observed that the lawyers spend a significant amount of their time on administrative tasks that could potentially be handled by paralegals. After a careful study of the work distribution within the firm, it was determined that 35% of the activities carried out by the lawyers are administrative in nature. Given that each lawyer works 50 hours a week, please determine: (a) How many additional paralegals should the firm hire to handle the administrative tasks currently performed by the lawyers? (b) If the lawyers' time spent on administrative tasks is redirected to billable legal work, by what percentage could the firm potentially increase its billable hours?
A.J.’s Wildlife Emporium manufactures two unique birdfeed-ers (Deluxe and Super Duper) that are manufactured andassembled in up to three different workstations (X, Y, Z) us-ing a small batch process. Each of the products is producedaccording to the flowchart in Figure 5.14. Additionally, theflowchart indicates each product’s price, weekly demand,and processing times per unit. Batch setup times are neg-ligible. A.J. can make and sell up to the limit of its weeklydemand and there are no penalties for not being able to meetall of the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a workerwho is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and ispaid $16 per hour. The plant operates 40 hours per week,with no overtime. Overhead costs are $2,000 per week. Basedon the information provided, as well as the information con-tained in the flowchart, answer the following questions.a. Using the traditional method, which bases decisionssolely on a product’s contribution to profits and over-head, what is the…
