Practice Problems on Process Analysis

Changing your engine oil is one of the single most important vehicle maintenance acts you can perform. Over time the oil breaks down and no longer performs its job the way it did when it was new. Your engine 's oil helps absorb heat from the engine and lubricates moving metal parts that would otherwise grind together. As you drive, the oil pump circulates oil within your engine and the oil filter catches the deposits that build up over time. The oil filter performs its own type of car maintenance by keeping the oil clean. But as the oil gets older, the number of deposits in the oil continues to build and the filter is unable to extract all of the material. When this happens, the color of the oil changes and it indicates the oil should be

As my friends and I sit at the stop light waiting to turn into the parking lot I notice that a lot of cars are coming and going, in and out of

Now we can apply Little’s Law to calculate the throughput time which is equal to the manufacturing lead time in this case.

hours, the parking lot is so busy that it cannot hold any more cars. Although there are plenty of

Shuzworld aims to keep customer satisfaction at its highest. A customer approach that focuses on making the customer happy is of upmost importance. One way to achieve this is to ensure that customer wait time is kept to a minimum. Specific questions have been posed for concern; how many customers will be in the system; how many customers on average will be in line; and what the probability is of one being in line or being served? The company is looking at staffing each

The 0.2% concentration of sodium bicarbonate was the second longest average float time at 757.58 seconds. It’s about 150 seconds faster than 0% and 200

here we have to find time required to send first packet from source to first packet switch.

.e. 35% of customers identified as frequenting the store between 1 - 5 times in the store and therefore could not be considered regular customers- 30% of customers identified as

We had only one customer renege from our model due to waiting for too long. This is probably due to us having an excess of employees. Employees in our model have a very large amount of idle time, as much as 85.61% for some employees. But our customers did seem to like the model we have in place, with 260 of our 270 potential customers leaving having bought something. That is an incredible efficiency. We had only nine customers decide not to buy anything not as a result of the wait time. We estimate the total revenue from the simulated day of our model to be approximately $33,000 with total costs of $26,600, including materials and labor, meaning we made a profit of

In a survey of Houstonians, over 82% of those surveyed says that they would rather travel on a four lane street compared to a two lane street because they feel that it is faster (Vu). With more lanes on Old Foltin Road and Essie Road, drivers will have more opportunity to switch lanes if the lane that they are currently on is slow or an accident has occurred on the lane. This will reduce the time spent in traffic. By reducing the time spent in traffic, one is able to help reduce the congestion by being one less car on the streets. Additionally, on a multiple lane street, there is typically a fast lane (“When”). The fast lane, usually the farthest left lane, is designed for drivers who tend to drive faster than others around them. The fast lane enables traffic to flow smoother which in turn will deduce the amount of congestion. “The left lane is saved for those currently passing. It is a very simple, yet effective rule that helps drivers stay safe and minimizes traffic congestion” (“When”). With the reduction of traffic congestion due to the fast lanes, drivers are able to have more time on their hands to spend with their families. By using more lanes, Old Foltin Road and Essie Road will be able to reduce the disruption of vehicles entering and exiting Our Lady of

My process journal is direct evidence of my final product and outcome because every aspect of my online and physical process journal are about what I hope to do for my final product. All the research questions, were directly related to my final product and it ultimately helped me create my final product. My process journal is there to help show how I progressed throughout the development of my personal project, to ultimately show my final project and what has come from it. One of my final entries before going to perform, were the places that I were a social hub in DFW and then the timings at, which these, places were the busiest. After making a list, I finished by choosing the ones that I would feel most comfortable in and those were the ones

System Analysis is the study where detailed information about the components and requirements of a system, the information needs of an organisation, the characteristics and current components of the systems and the user functional requirements of the systems that is proposed system.

8. From the flow net in Figure 3, the flow rate is calculated as shown

The final ratio we will analyze is the average collection period which measures the time it takes a firm to receive payments after a sale has been made. The average collection period was 55 days for 2001 and 42 days for 2000. While these numbers seem to be very high the reader needs to remember that they are dealing with a large ticket item and financing is usually arranged and payments from the finance company could take more time than cash payments that are normal in the traditional retail marketplace.

The theoretical flow time of each path is determined by adding the work contents of the activities along that path. Thus the theoretical flow time of path 1 is 100 minutes and that of path 2 is 127 minutes. Path 2 is then the critical path and the theoretical flow time for the Deluxe model is 127 minutes.
