A machine makes two components; call them types A and B. It takes 250 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time, no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 second to be completed. The two components, A and B, are combined in an assembly process to make a final product; call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components into 1 unit every 2 seconds, or 30 units per minute. Assume there is ample demand.
Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 1,000 untis of A and 1,000 units of B. In that case, what is the capacity of the machine in component pairs per minute, where a component pair is one unit of A and one unit of B?
answer: __________ component pair per minute

A bottling line puts the soft drinks into plastic bottles and then packagesthe bottles into boxes holding 10 bottles each. The bottling line is comprised of thefollowing four steps: (1) the bottling machine takes 1 second to fill a bottle, (2) the lidmachine takes 3 seconds to cover the bottle with a lid, (3) a labeling machine takes3 seconds per bottle, and (4) the packaging machine takes 4 seconds to place a bottleinto a box. When a box has been filled with 10 bottles, a worker tending the packagingmachine removes the filled box and replaces it with an empty box. Assume that thetime for the worker to remove a filled box and replace it with an empty box is negligibleand hence does not affect the capacity of the line. Problem data are summarized in thefollowing table. a. Draw a process flow diagram of this process. b. What is the capacity (bottles/hour) at the resource “Apply a lid”? c.

Process A better supports specification limit verification. b. Process A uses fewer resources to accomplish the same task. c. Process A has fewer defects and failures. d. Process A has enough spare capacity to handle more transactionarrow_forward
- Understanding the process begins with determining the key process objectives. Select one: a True .

The wood subassembly is made from 2 wood halves (WH) and a piece of lead (L), the wood halves are made from wood blanks (WB). (For this question we will ignore the need for glue and paint.)

The manager said that this would be faster and allow better consistency in the product delivered to the customer. Jose had his hours cut because less people can take twice as many orders as before. Jose and his restaurant has experienced which of the following? McDonaldization in his workplace Instrumental boss in-group/out-group All of the abovearrow_forwardExamples of companies that have used SMED One example of a company that succeeded with this system was Toyota, achieving a significant time reduction. Toyota used to take more than four hours to change models on an 800-ton stamping press, when its equivalent at Volkswagen required only two hours.
