These components are then assembled at station B and moved through the rest of the process, where some additional work is completed at stations C, D, and E. Assume that one and only one person is allowed at each station. Assume that the times given for each station represent the amount of work that needs to be done at that station by that person, with no processing time variation. Assume that inventory is not allowed to build in the system. What is the average hourly output of the process when it is in normal operation?arrow_forward

His first step is to develop a flowchart for the current process that employees at his center follow. He has asked you to draw that flowchart for him and make any obvious changes to shorten the process. Here are the key steps that are followed: The LLMC employee fills out a paper requisition and sends that to his department head for approval. The department secretary first examines the requisition to see if all needed information is present. If it is, then she sends to the department head for approval. If not, she returns to the employee for any needed corrections. The employee then returns the requisition to the department secretary for review again. Requisitions with the correct information are sent to the department head.

Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchartdenotes the path each product follows through the manu-facturing process, and each product’s price, demand perweek, and processing times per unit are indicated as well.Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during pro-duction are represented by inverted triangles. CKC can makeand sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penaltiesare incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Eachworkstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to workon that workstation alone, and is paid $6 per hour. Totallabor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are$3,500/week. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day, or40 hours/week. Which of the three workstations, W, X, or Y,has the highest…arrow_forward
