- For a given process, the raw processing time is 102 sec, the bottleneck cycle time is 20 sec/item, and the WIP is 6 items. The expected lead-time (LT) is ____ seconds. Enter a whole number answer.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…A production process is shown in the figure above. The drilling operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with the sawing and sanding operations. Welding starts when both drilling and sanding operations have been completed. After welding, a product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel, where parallel lines perform the exact same operation). Considering the process times, specify the bottleneck(s). Sawing Sanding Drilling Welding Assembly You can choose more than one.
- XYZ is famous for homemade pizzas which are crisp with thin crust and varied toppings giving the pizzas fabulous tastes. XYZ· is revamping its order processing and pizza-making process. In order to deliver fresh pizza fast, six work elements must be completed as shown in the table below :Element Description Precedence Time (in min)A Receive order - 2·0B Shape dough A 1·0C Prepare toppings A 2·0D Assemble pizza B, C 3·0E Bake pizza D 3·0F Deliver pizza E 3·0Construct a precedence diagram for the process.If the demand is 120 pizzas per night (5:00pm to 1:00am), compute the cycle time for the process. Compute the lead time for the process.What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations needed to achieve the required production?How will you balance the production line to produce and deliver 120 pizzas per night? What is the actual minimum number of workstations needed?A furniture factory makes two types of wooden tables,large and small.

- Steel City Juice is a local company that makes two kinds of juice: orange juice and apple juice.Demand for orange juice is 60 barrels/hr, while demand for apple juice is 40 barrels/hr. The company only has one machine to extract juice from raw fruit. The machine can extract orange juice at a speed of 150 barrels/hr, or apple juice at 120 barrels/hr. Switching from one type to the other requires 30 minutes cleanup time.Please provide a production schedule and an associated process flow diagram that (i) cycles repeatedly through the two kinds, (ii) meets the required demand, and (iii) minimizes the amount of inventory held. (Here it is assumed that the production machine runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ) and what is the maximum inventory level of orange juice?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.A production process at Kenneth Day Manufacturing is shown in the figure below. The drilling operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with, the sawing and sanding, which are independent sequential operations. A product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel). 1. Which is the bottleneck?
- 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)onsider a process consisting of three resources. Assume there exists unlimited demand for the product, and that all activities are always performed in the following sequence. Resource 1 has a processing time of 6 minutes per unit. Resource 2 has a processing time of 3 minutes per unit. Resource 3 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit. All three resources are staffed by one worker and each worker gets paid $14 per hour. How much idle time does the worker at resource 3 have per unit?The Assembly Department started the month with 37,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory. An additional units 482,000 were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 34,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department. How many units were transferred to the next processing department during the month? A. none of the options B. 485,000 C. 473,000 D. 479,000
