You are choosing from between the following four processes, each with a different fixed cost, and variable costs. Process Fixed Variable A 20,000 15 B 10,000 12 C 5,000 10 D 8,000 9.3 Because I can only ask a single quantifiable question, I can't easily ask you to tell me which process is the cheapest from 0 to whatever, and then something else is cheapest for a while, etc. What is the point where D becomes cheaper than C? Round your answer to the closest whole number.
Consider a production line with five stations in serial. The stations have the following process times in minutes (or minutes/unit). Station 1's process time is 9 minutes/unit. Station 2's process time is 10 minutes/unit. Station three has two identical machines, each of which process a unit in 12 minutes (each unit only needs to be processed on one of the two machines). Station 4's process time is 5 minutes/unit. Station 5's process time is 8 minutes/unit. Which station is the bottleneck station? a) Station 3 b) None of the other options c) Station 2 d) Station 5
2-The process of making hotdogs involves six activities: “grind”, “mix”, “stuff”, “cook”, “peel”, and “inspect”. If the capacity of activity “cook” determines the process capacity, which of the following statements are true? a- Activity “cook” is a bottleneck activity. b- The activity time of all the other five activities is shorter than activity "cook". c- Cycle time of the process of making hotdogs is equal=1/capacity of activity “cook”. d- Increasing the capacity of activity “grind” can increase the capacity of the process of making hotdogs. All statements are correct Only statement 'b' is correct Only statements 'a' and 'b' are correct Only statements 'a', 'b' and 'c' are correct Only statement 'a' is correct Only statement 'd' is correct
The following diagram describes a service system where customers go through either of the two parallel three-step processes (A1-A2-A3 or B1-B2-B3) and then merge into a single line for the final step (F4). Each step has one worker assigned to it (total of 7 workers). The numbers in parentheses are the times in minutes for each step of the process. ( see attached image) What is the capacity of the entire system in terms of customers per hour? Hint: Start with calculating hourly capacity of A1-A2-A3 and B1-B2-B3. How much will the system capacity change if a second worker is assigned to step F4?

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)?
