. In the welding operations of a bicycle manufacturer, a bike frame has a flow time of about 11.5 hours. The time in the welding operation is spent as follows: 2 hours waiting in front of the cutting machine for the batch to start, 2 hours waiting for the setupof the machine, 1 hour waiting for the other pieces of the batch to go through cutting, 1 minute at the cutting machine, and 3 hours waiting for the transfer to the welding machine. Then, at the welding machine, the unit spends 1 hour waiting in front of the welding machine for the batch to start, 1 hour waiting for the setup of the welding machine, 0.5 hour waiting for the other pieces of the batch to go through welding, 0.5 minute at the welding machine, and 1 hour waiting for the transfer to the next department. Determine the exact flow time. What is the value-added percentage of the flow time?

Benny the Barber owns a one-chair shop. At barber college, they told Benny that his customers would exhibit a Poisson arrival distribution and that he would provide an exponential service distribution. His market survey data indicate that customers arrive at a rate of 4.0 per hour. It will take Benny an average of 8 minutes to give a haircut. Based on these figures, find the following: a. The average number of customers waiting. Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places. Average number of customers waiting b. The average time a customer waits. Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Average waiting time minutes
130) please please help me with this! Owners of a local restaurant are concerned about their ability to provide quality service as they continue to grow and attract more customers. They have collected data from Friday and Saturday nights, their busiest times of the week. During these time periods, about 106 customers arrive per hour for service. Given the number of tables and chairs, and the typical time it takes to serve a customer, the owners estimate they can serve, on average, about 162 customers per hour. Use Exhibit 4.6. Furthermore, the owners anticipate that in one year their demand will double as long as they can provide good service to their customers. a. Currently, during these nights, are they in the zone of service, the critical zone, or the zone of nonservice? EXIBIT IS THE PICTURE ADDED O Critical zone O Zone of service O Zone of nonservice b.

K Borges Machine Shop, Inc., has a 1-year contract for the production of 75,000 gear housings for a new off-road vehicle. Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are general-purpose equipment (GPE), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and expensive, but efficient, dedicated machine (DM). The cost data follow: Annual contracted units Annual fixed cost Per unit variable cost General-Purpose Equipment (GPE) 75,000 $100,000 $15.00 Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) 75,000 $225,000 $14.75 Dedicated Machine (DM) 75,000 $500,000 $13.00 Based on the total cost, the process that is best suited for the current contracted volume is Suppose the contracted volume changes to 275,000 gear housings.
