Item Data Shift Length 8 hours Breaks (2) 15 minute and (1) 30 minute Downtime 47 minutes Ideal Cycle Time 1.0 seconds Total Count 19,271 widgets Reject Count 423 widgetsarrow_forwardTuff-Rider, Inc., manufactures touring bikes and mountainbikes in a variety of frame sizes, colors, and component com-binations. Identical bicycles are produced in lots of 100. Theprojected demand, lot size, and time standards are shown inthe following table: Item Touring MountainDemand forecast 5,000 units/year 10,000 units/yearLot size 100 units 100 unitsStandard processing time .25 hour/unit .50 hour/unitStandard setup time 2 hours/lot 3 hours/lot The shop currently works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week,50 weeks a year. It operates five workstations, each producingone bicycle in the time shown in the table. The shop main-tains a 15 percent capacity cushion. How many workstationswill be required next year to meet expected demand withoutusing overtime and without decreasing the firm’s currentcapacity cushion?arrow_forwardSuppose a work center has a setup plus run time of 30 minutes to make 50 parts. Also assume it takes 10 minutes to move a standard container of 50 parts to the next work center and the demand rate is one part per minute throughout the day.a. Schedule this situation by drawing a picture of when work center A should be producing and idle and when movements of containers take place from A to B, the using work center.b. How many standard containers are needed for this part to circulate from the picture in part a?c. Use the formula n = DT ÷ C to calculate the number of containers.arrow_forward
- XYZ is famous for homemade pizzas which are crisp with thin crust and varied toppings giving the pizzas fabulous tastes. XYZ· is revamping its order processing and pizza-making process. In order to deliver fresh pizza fast, six work elements must be completed as shown in the table below :Element Description Precedence Time (in min)A Receive order - 2·0B Shape dough A 1·0C Prepare toppings A 2·0D Assemble pizza B, C 3·0E Bake pizza D 3·0F Deliver pizza E 3·0Construct a precedence diagram for the process.If the demand is 120 pizzas per night (5:00pm to 1:00am), compute the cycle time for the process. Compute the lead time for the process.What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations needed to achieve the required production?How will you balance the production line to produce and deliver 120 pizzas per night? What is the actual minimum number of workstations needed?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a fixed cost? a) Direct materials b ) Direct labor c) Rent on factory building d) Variable manufacturing overheadarrow_forwardRecall "Tommy's Dresses to go" case. Three years after, this company still rents designer dresses to customers, but it has managed to streamline its internal processes and expand to different segments of demand. Now, customers can rent clothes for anywhere between 1 days to 30 days, and each customer is sent only one (1) dress (instead of 2 dresses described in the case). The company alsó takes only 13 number of days to turn around a dress (i.e., this the duration starting with return from a customer, to again being rented out to a customer). The current demand is an average of 1,000 customers per day, and the company owns total of 30 thousand dresses. What is the average rental duration? (i.e., what is the average number of days, a customer keeps a dress).arrow_forward
- Josie’s Sports Accessories has 12 operators who work 9 hours a day (no breaks), 7 days a week. They manufacture headbands with a standard minute value of 1.35 minutes. The workers produce 4,450 headband a day. How long will it take them to complete an order for 5,000 headbands?arrow_forwardJudy’s Cake Shop makes fresh cakes to customer orders. After receiving the order by Judy’s assistant, which takes 2 minutes, Judy then takes 8 minutes tomix the ingredients for the cake and loads a cake pan for baking. Then the cake is put into the oven for 30 minutes. The oven can hold three cakes at one time. When the cake is taken out of the oven, it is cooled for 1 hour. The assistant then takes 2 minutes to pack the cake for pickup and bills the customer, which takes 3 minutes.a. What is the capacity of the process, and what is the bottleneck?b. What is the throughput time for a typical cake?c. If on average five orders are taken per hour, how many cakes are there in the process (on average)?arrow_forwardParent S requires three of component T and two of component U. Both T and Uare run on work center 30. Setup time for T is 7 hours, and run time is 0.1 hour perpiece. For component U, setup time is 8 hours, and run time is 0.2 hour per piece. Ifthe rated capacity of the work center is 120 hours, how many Ts and Us should beproduced in a week?arrow_forward
