Consider a system with five stages. The stages have the process rates of 5, 30, 47, 41, and 12 units/hr. A product must go through these stages in a sequantial order. If we double the capacity of ALL the bottleneck resources, what will be the new capacity of this process in units/hour? (Only enter a number, do not enter any units. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. @orsdemir, Copyrighted material)

Suppose the daytime processing load consists of 70% CPU activity and 30% disk activity. Your customers are complaining that the system is slow. After doing some research, you have learned that you can upgrade your disks to 2.5 times as fast as they are currently for $6,000 or you can replace your CPU with a 2 times faster one for $7,000. a. Which would you choose to yield the best performance improvement for the least amount of money? b. Which option would you choose if you don't care about the money, but want a faster system?
The production manager of Batasan Enterprises wants to improve its cycle efficiency by cutting on the value add time by 2 hours and the non-value add time by 56 minutes. What will be the new cycle efficiency if the changes are implemented? Assume that the original value add time is 9 hours and the non-value add time is 146 minutes which consists of set up time, waiting time, and move time. Write your answer in whole percentage figure only.

Suppose the daytime processing load consists of 70% CPU activity and 30% disk activity. Your customers are complaining that the system is slow. After doing some research, you have learned that you can upgrade your disks to 2.5 times as fast as they are currently for $5,000 or you can upgrade your CPU to make it 1.5 as fast for $8000. a) Which would you choose to yield the best performance improvement for the least amount of money? b) Which option would you choose if you don't care about the money, but want a faster system?
Consider a process consisting of five resources that are operated 8 hours per day. Theprocess works on three different products, A, B, and C: Demand for the three different products is as follows: product A, 40 units per day;product B, 50 units per day; and product C, 60 units per day.a. What is the bottleneck?b. What is the flow rate for each flow unit, assuming that demand must be served in the mixdescribed above (i.e., for every four units of A, there are five units of B and six units of C)?
A process has high fixed costs and low variable costs. It is currently capacityconstrained. Will the impact of an efficiency improvement be small or large?a. Smallb. Large
a) Refer to Scenario C: Which task(s) would be blocked? Check all that apply. Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 Task 4 Task 5 b) Refer to Scenario C. What would the utilization of Task 3 be? Pick the closest answer. 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% c) Suppose you are given the same process as Scenario C, except with buffers between each of the tasks (shown attached). Buffers have no limit to the number of items they can potentially hold. Suppose each buffer shaded in blue starts with 35 units in inventory. After 3 hours, approximately how many finished units will Task 5 have produced? Pick the closest answer. 10 20 30 40 50 60
Formtech Inc. produces transformers. Each order is custom designed and manufactured for the customer. Each order goes through 3 phases: Transformer Design, which takes 4 weeks. Procurement, which has a lead time of 8 weeks. Assembly and Testing, which takes 4 weeks The design group can handle only 4 projects at any given time. The other groups are not capacity constrained. How much total work-in-process (number of projects started but not yet completed) does the company typically have? (Hint: Little's Law)

A shoe manufacturer that operates 8 hours a day (no break) has developed a new sneaker per an important client's request. However, the client does not want to proceed with an order if the manufacturer cannot reach at least 88% efficiency during production. If SAM (standard allowed minute) to complete 1 pair of shoes is 30 minutes, how many pairs of shoes must each employee at the factory produce in a day to meet this client's requirements?
