A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) machine installs integrated circuits onto a board. Before starting to produce a board, the PCB machine requires a 16-minute setup. Once in production, the PCB machine requires only 0.19 minute per board. a. Currently, the PCB machine produces 525 boards between setups. Given this operating process, what is the capacity of the PCB machine (in boards per min)? b. Currently, the PCB machine produces 525 boards between setups. Given this operating process, what is the utilization of the PCB machine? c. Say the PCB machine produces 400 boards s between setups and demand is 2 boards per minute. Given the operating process, what is the avergae inventory of boards anf the PCB machine? d. Demand for boards occurs at the rate of 2 boards per minute. What is the smallest batch size such that the PCB machine does not constrain the flow rate through the process?
Kitty Wonderland (KW) makes toys for cats. KW’s managers have recently learned that they can calculate the average waiting time for an order from the time an order is received and the time it is manufactured. They have asked for your help and have provided the following information. Expected number of orders for the product: 2,000 Manufacturing time per order: 4 hours Annual machine capacity in hours: 10,000 After learning about the average waiting time, KW’s managers are confused. They do not understand why, if annual machine capacity is greater than the average number of orders for the product, there would be any waiting time at all. Briefly answer the following questions Calculate the average waiting time per order. The managers have asked for your suggestions on what they can do to minimize or eliminate waiting time. How would you respond? Management is expecting sales to increase. Will average waiting time increase or decrease? Explain briefly.

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 80 carts per hour. Workers receive $10 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour, while output increased by four carts per hour.A) Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as themeasure of labor productivity.B) Compute the multifactor productivity under each system. Use carts per dollar cost (laborplus equipment) as the measure.C) Comment on the changes in productivity according to the two measures, and on which one you believe is the more pertinent for this situation.

The staff training center at a large regional hospital provides training sessions in CPR to all employees. Assume that the capacity of this training system was designed to be 1800 employees per year. Since the training center was first put in use, the program has become more complex, so that 1400 now represents the most employees that can be trained per year. In the past year, 1350 employees were trained. Calculate the efficiency and the utilization of this system. An executive conference center has the physical ability to handle 1,100 participants. However, conference management personnel believe that only 1,000 participants can be handled effectively for most events. The last event, although forecasted to have 1,000 participants, resulted in the attendance of only 950 participants. What are the utilization and efficiency of the conference facility? .
