- A product is completed when 18 tasks are done. These tasks are assigned to 6 workstations (each workstation handling several tasks) in an assembly line set up. All workstations work the same amount of time (= cycle time), and move the (partial) product to the next workstation, and repeat this process. The last workstation generates the finished product. We need 1200 units made every day (= 8 hours). If we run this line with a cycle time of 0.3 minutes, what is the most amount of work (in minutes) that can be done on this product? (Give the answer with one decimal place)A work cell is required to make 100 computerized diagnostic assemblies (for installation into hybrid automobiles) each day. The cell currently works an eight hour shift, of which seven hours is available for productive work. These assemblies require five operations, with times of 1.5, 1.8, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.9 minutes each. What is takt time for this cell? How many workers will be needed?An assembly line with 17 tasks is to be balanced. The longest task is 2.4 minutes, and the totaltime for all tasks is 18 minutes. The line will operate for 450 minutes per day.a. What are the minimum and maximum cycle times?
- A garment manufacturing has already finishedgarments to iron/press in order to prepare for selling them in the market. There aretwo kinds of garments, namely: poloshirt and t-shirts. Poloshirt is to be sold atP200 per piece while t-shirt at P50 each. Ironing/pressing one piece of polotshirttakes 30 minutes while t-shirt takes 12 minutes. The owner of the garment factoryhas a total of 7 finishing workers, who each works 8 hours per day. Four (4) ofwhich are assigned as pressers and three (3) as packagers. For one day, theowner would like to maximize his profit.Using linear programming, determine how many pieces of poloshirts and howmany pieces of t-shirts should be sold in the market in day in order to maximizethe profit. In line with your answer on the number of pieces of poloshirts andnumber of pieces of t-shirts to be sold in the market, compute for the profit.Select the best answer from the choices enumerated below.You may use linear equations and/or inequalities to arrive at the…Three departments- milling (M), drilling (D), andsawing (S)- are assigned to three work areas in Victor Berardis'smachine shop in Kent, Ohio.

- An order for 100 of a product is processed on operation A and operation B. The setuptime on A is 50 minutes, and the run time per piece is 9 minutes. The setup time onB is 30 minutes, and the run time is 6 minutes per piece. It takes 20 minutes to movea lot between A and B. Since this is a rush order, it is given top priority (president’sedict) and is run as soon as it arrives at either workstation.It is decided to overlap the two operations and to split the lot of 100 into two lotsof 60 and 40. When the first lot is finished on operation A, it is moved to operation Bwhere it is set up and run. Meanwhile, operation A completes the balance of the 100units (40) and sends the units over to operation B. These 40 units should arrive asoperation B is completing the first batch of 60; thus, operation B can continue withoutinterruption until all 100 are completed.a. Calculate the total manufacturing lead time for operation A and for B withoutoverlapping.b. Calculate the manufacturing lead time…Bill builds benches in a small shop and he plans to operate five 8-hour days perweek. Each bench has two ends and a top. It takes 5 minutes to cut and sand eachend and 2 minutes to make each top. Assembly requires 8 minutes per bench, andpainting requires 5 minutes per bench. Bill has one employee who makes the topsand ends. Bill will do the final assembly and painting. He also plans 1 hour per dayfor setup and teardown for each department.a. How many benches should he plan to build per week?b. How many hours per week are required for each person?c.

A batch includes a fixed setup time for the entire batch at each process step and a run time for each piece in the batch. Both large and small tables have the same processing times. The capacities of each process step are given, and apply to production of either type of table, as shown in the flowchart.a. What is the capacity of the system, and what is the bottleneck?b. What are the throughput times for batches of large and small tables?c. When producing at a rate of six small tables per hour on average, how many tables will be in the system?
- An assembly line has 10 serial stations with process times of 1, 2, 3, 4,..., 10 respectively. The process time of the system is: a) 550% of its process cycle time. b) 18.18% of its process cycle time. c) 50% of its process cycle time. d) 100% of its process cycle time.The trim line at PW is a small subassembly line that, along with other such lines, feeds into the final chassis line. The entire assembly line, which consists of more than 900 workstations, is to make PW’s new E cars. The trim line itself involves only 13 work elements and must handle 20 cars per hour. Work-element data are as follows: Work Element Time (Sec) Immediate Predecessor(s) A B C DE F G H I J K L M 1.8 0.4 1.6 1.5 0.7 0.5 0.8 1.4 1.4 1.4 0.5 1.0 0.8 None None None A A E B C D F,G H J I,K,L a.

Use the longest work element decision rule to balance the line and calculate the efficiency of your solution.e. Use the most followers work element decision rule to balance the line and calculate the efficiency of your solution.A restaurant has a maximum capacity to serve 60 customers at any given point of time. However, over extended periods in a day, all tables are occupied and the restaurant staff are able to reconfigure the layout to regularly serve 70 customers with many customers still queuing up to get inside the restaurant. What is the utilization of the restaurant?
