The process for renewing a driver's license at the Archer County Courthouse is as follows. First, the clerk fills out the application; then the clerk takes the driver's picture; and finally, a typist enters the information into the computer system and processes the new license. It takes an average of seven minutes to fill out an application, one minute to take a picture, and nine minutes to process the new license. Due to county and state budget cuts, Archer County Courthouse now has only three clerks and two typists and expects to process 40 drivers/hour. What is the current labor utilization of each labor type? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

Consider the following tasks that must be assigned to four workers on a conveyor-paced assembly line (i.e., a machine-paced line flow). Each worker must perform at least one task. There exists unlimited demand unless stated otherwise. Time to Complete Task (seconds): Task 1: 30 Task 2: 25 Task 3: 15 Task 4: 20 Task 5: 15 Task 6: 20 Task 7: 50 Task 8: 15 Task 9: 20 Task 10: 25 Task 11: 15 Task 12: 20 The current conveyor-paced assembly-line configuration assigns the workers in the following way: • Worker 1: Tasks 1, 2, 3 • Worker 2: Tasks 4, 5, 6 • Worker 3: Tasks 7, 8, 9 • Worker 4: Tasks 10, 11, 12 What is the direct labor content (in seconds per unit)?

A startup company is considering making a part by injection molding.  The part is moderately complex and the volume of the part is about 10 cubic centimeters.  Assume that the part is designed for injection molding and can be made with a two part mold.  The company needs to make 250,000 parts made from ABS plastic.  Once the mold is made it will take a worker 1 minute to make one part using the injection molding machine.  The company will use contract manufacturing to produce the parts.  Estimate the cost per part and explain how you came up with the number.  (If you are stuck look at the Contract Manufacturing Cost per Unit section.  Also keep in mind that there is no exact right answer, the goal is to come up with a reasonable estimate.) Contract Manufacturing Cost per Unit:  It’s not uncommon to hire another company to perform some or all the manufacturing for a product.  To estimate the cost use ((Cost of Parts and Materials) + (man hours) × $40)/.75

For 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?

In this week, we cover Business Processes, including Process Improvement through streamlining and re-engineering and process modeling of both the As-Is and the To-Be processes. Students were asked: Drawing from your own experience, select a process (a set of specified steps to accomplish a task) used at your place of work or in an interaction with a business that you would like to see improved and briefly describe the process. Be sure you have identified a specific process rather than a general business problem or area. Explain why you picked that process. Explain the steps you might take to analyze how to improve the process. Who should be involved with you? What are some of the questions you should ask about the current process? How will you know if the process was actually improved? Student answered: In the organization I work for we have what they call a race series. This section of the organization holds races. One process that is performed in during these events is the obtaining…
