The process design team at a manufacturer has broken an assembly process into eight basic steps, each with a required time and predecessor as shown in the table. They work an 8-hour day and want to produce at a rate of 360 units per day. What should their takt time be

Different processes can be expected to have different costs. How?

Why are assembly-line processes usually so much more efficient but less flexible than batch processes? Give three reasons.

a. what is the bottleneck of this process? b. what is the hourly capacity of the process?

Smart Kids Wonderland has decided to manufacture a new train toy set. The production process consists of which is broken into seven steps. If the company have an eight hours operating time per day with a desired output of 1450 units per day as display in Table 1. Determine the following: (Hint: Provides your answers in two decimal points) Table 1 Task Time (seconds) Predecessors A 15 В 18 A 14 A D 12 В 11 C F 20 D, E G 16 F (a) Draw the network diagram to connect each workstation. (b) Determine the cycle time and the minimum number of stations needed to achieve the desired production output. (c) The assembly line efficiency rate and how many work stations are actually neede in this production process? Comment on your answer.

At Feebo Company, components U, V, W, and X are assembled in a cell in daily quantities of 70, 140, 280, and 35, respectively. Assuming a 480-minute workday, assume lot-for-lot, LT = 0. What is the MMP sequence? For the toolbar, press ALT F10 (PC) or ALT-FN+F10 (Mac)

A production process at Brianna Bryant Manufacturing is shown in the figure below. The drilling operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with, the sawing and sanding, which are independent sequential operations. A product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel). a) is the bottleneck. 1.8 units/hr Sawing minutes per unit (round your response to two decimal places). 5 units/hr Sanding Drilling 5 units/hr b) The bottleneck time is c) The throughput time of the overall system is minutes (round your response to two decimal places). d) If the firm operates 11 hours per day, 20 days per month, the monthly capacity of the manufacturing process is Welding 2.5 units/hr Assembly 0.8 units/hr Assembly 0.8 units/hr Assembly 0.8 units/hr units (enter your response as a whole number).
