A process with five steps has a cycle time of 1.5 minutes per unit. The only inventory in the system is held before the last station, where 35 units of inventory are maintained. A defective unit is produced at the first station but is not detected until final inspection (after the fifth station). Round your answer to one decimal place. What is the information turnaround time (in minutes)? minutes

Consider the assembly line of a laptop computer. The line consists of 10 stations and operates at a cycle time of 2 minutes/unit. Their most error-prone operation is step 2. There is no inventory between the stations because this is a machine-paced line. Final inspection happens at station 10. What would be the information turnaround time for a defect made at station 2? answer:_______minutes
A U.S. Postal Service supervisor is looking for ways to reduce stress in the sorting department. With the existing arrangement, stamped letters are machine-canceled and loaded into tubs with 450 letters per tub. The tubs are then pushed to postal clerks, who read and key zip codes into an automated sorting machine at the rate of one tub per 385 seconds. To overcome the stress caused when the stamp canceling machine outpaces the sorting clerks, a pull system is proposed. When the clerks are ready to process another tub of mail, they will pull the tub from the canceling machine area. How many tubs should circulate between the sorting clerks and the canceling machine if 95,000 letters are to be sorted during a 10-hour shift, the safety stock policy variable, α, is 0.25, and the average waiting time plus material handling time is 30 minutes per tub? The average processing time per tub of letters, p, is nothing day. (Enter your response rounded to four decimal places.) The…
A 10 station automated assembly system produces an ideal cycle time (Tc) of 14 seconds/cycle. When a defective part enters any assembly station it sometimes causes a station jam or stoppage. Defective parts occur at a rate of 0.07 and a jams due to defective parts occur at a rate of 0.4. When a jam occurs, it takes on average 74 seconds to clear and restart the station. Determine the production rate of acceptable parts (Rap) to the nearest 1 part/hour.

. Aquatica makes underwater camera housings for divers. The process begins with a solid rectangular block of aluminum that is used to make a single housing. A computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine drills into the block to make the metal “frame” of the housing. Each block requires 15 minutes of drilling. The frame is then chemically treated in a series of baths. There is ample capacity in the treating stage. Finally, a worker must manually attach the various buttons and components to the metal housing. This assembly takes 120 minutes per housing per worker and Aquatica has 6 workers trained to do this task. The CNC machine requires a 30-minute setup time before the production of a batch can begin. a. If the CNC machine produces 14 housings between setups, what would be its capacity (in housings per hour)? b. Assuming the process is supply-constrained, what is the utilization (as a number between 0 and 1) of the CNC machine if it operates in batches of 14 housings? c. Assuming…
