Sintok Machines (SM) produces cast bronze valves for use in offshore oil platforms. Currently, SM produces 1600 valves per day. The 20 workers at SM work from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m., with 30 minutes off for lunch and a 15-minute break during the morning work session and another at the afternoon work session. SM is in a competitive industry and needs to increase productivity to stay competitive. They feel that a 20 % increase is needed. SM's management believes that the 20 % increase will not be possible without a change in working conditions, so they change work hours.The new schedule calls on workers to work from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., during which workers can take one hour off at any time of their choosing. Obviously, the number of paid hours is the same as before, but production increases, perhaps because workers are given a bit more control over their workday. After this change, valve production increased to 1800 units per day.Question : A. For the hypothetical 20 percent increase…

3. A bread-manufacturing line typically produces 150 loaves of bread during an 8-hour shift. On average, there are 30 loaves under processing in the line at any given time. What is the value and what is the L value? What is the average time it takes to produce a loaf of bread from the raw ingredients?

L. Winston Martin (an allergist) has an excellent system for handling his regular patients who come in just for allergy injections. Patients arrive for an injection and fill out a name slip, which is then placed in an open slot that passes into another room staffed by one or two nurses. The specific injections for a patient are prepared, and the patient is called through a speaker system into the room to receive the injection. At certain times during the day, patient load drops and only one nurse is needed to administer the injections. Use Exhibit 712. Let's focus on the simpler case of the two-namely, when there is one nurse. Also, assume that patients arrive in a Poisson fashion and the service rate of the nurse is exponentially distributed. During this slower period, patients arrive with an interarrival time of approximately 3 minutes. It takes the nurse an average of 2.50 minutes to prepare the patients' serum and administer the injection. a. What is the average number of patients…

The MacJunkin Company manufactures transmission parts. The current process uses 20 workers and produces 400 units per hour. You are considering changing the process with new manufacturing methods that increase output to 470 units per hour but will require 22 workers. Workers are paid at a rate of​ $15 per​ hour, and overhead is charged at​ 140% (or 1.4​ times) labor costs. Finished switches sell for​ $80/unit. The details are as​ follows:     Current Process New Process Output​ (Units/Hour) 400 470 Number of Workers 20 22 Material​ (Cost/Hour) ​$120 ​$150 These are the correct answers can you show me how to get these answers? A. What is the multifactor productivity ratio for the current​ process? 38.10       B. What is the multifactor productivity ratio for the new​ process? 39.92 Your answer is correct.

Knott's Industries manufactures standard and super premium backyard swing sets. Currently it has four identical swing-set-making machines, which are operated 275 days per year and 8 hours each day. A capacity cushion of 20 percent is desired. The following information is also known Annual Demand Standard Processing Time Average Lot Size Standard Setup Time per Lot a. Does Knott's have sufficient capacity to meet annual demand? Knott's does Standard Model 20,000 5min 50 30 min Super Premium Model 10,000 17 min 30 45 min have sufficient capacity to meet annual demand because 3 machines are needed. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number.) b. If Knott's was able to reduce the setup time for the Super Premium Model from 45 minutes to 30 minutes, would there be enough current capacity to produce 20,000 units of each type of swing set? If Knott's was able to reduce the setup time for the Super Premium Model from 45 minutes to 30 minutes, there would not be enough capacity to…
