These 4 workers begin their workdays at 9 a.m. and work steadily until 6 p.m. At 6 p.m no new cell phone
parts are introduced into workstation 1 and the production continues until all of the work-in-process inventory
has been processed and leaves workstation 4. Thus each morning the workers begin with an empty system.
1-1 What is the bottleneck in this process?
1-2. What is the capacity, in cell phones per hour, of the line after 10 a.m.?
1-3. What is the direct labour content in this process?
1-4. What is the utilization of the worker in workstation 2 between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.?
1-5. If we move task K from workstation 3 to workstation 2, is it helpful to increase the capacity of the line?
Why or why not?
Consider the following production line which consists of 4 workstations.
cutting
section 1
section 2
finishing
Set-up time

2-1. What is the capacity of the cutting machine with a batch size of 10?
2-2. What is the capacity of the overall process with the batch size 10?
2-3. Find the batch size maximizing the line capacity.
