A production process at Kenneth Day Manufacturing is shown in Figure S7.9. The drilling operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with, sawing and sanding, which are independent and sequential operations. A product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel).a) Which operation is the bottleneck?b) What is the bottleneck time?c) What is the throughput time of the overall system?d) If the firm operates 8 hours per day, 20 days per month, whatis the monthly capacity of the manufacturing process?
A processor makes two components, A and B, which are then packaged together as thei nal product (each product sold contains one A and one B). The processor can do onlyone component at a time: Either it can make As or it can make Bs. There is a setup timewhen switching from A to B.Current plans are to make 100 units of component A, then 100 units of component B,then 100 units of component A, then 100 units of component B, and so forth, where thesetup and run times for each component are given below.Component Setup/Changeover Time Run Time/UnitA 5 minutes 0.2 minuteB 10 minutes 0.1 minuteAssume the packaging of the two components is totally automated and takes onlytwo seconds per unit of the i nal product. This packaging time is small enough that youcan ignore it. What is the average hourly output, in terms of the number of units of packagedproduct (which includes one component A and one component B)?

14. A production line is to be designed to assemble a product. The assembly of this product requires three tasks, one of which requires 0.3 minutes to complete, one of which requires 1.4 minutes to complete , and one of which requires 0.7 minutes to complete. If this production line has three workstations and a cycle time of 1.5 minutes , what is its efficiency ?
Mikey W. Smitty is confident that demand for his “WesternRap” CD will substantially exceed the break-even point computed in Problem 6-3. So, Mikey is contemplating hav-ing his CD cut at a classier (and pricier) studio. The cost to record the CD would rise to $9000. However, since thisnew studio works with very high volume, production costswould fall to $2 per CD.a. What is the breakeven point for this new process?b. Compare this process to the process proposed in theprevious problem. For what volume of demand shouldMikey choose the classier studio?

A production process consists of a three-step operation. The scrap rate is 10 percent for the firststep and 6 percent for the other two steps.a. If the desired daily output is 450 units, how many units must be started to allow for loss due toscrap?b. If the scrap rate for each step could be cut in half, how many units would this save in terms ofthe scrap allowance?c. If the scrap represents a cost of $10 per unit, how much is it costing the company per day forthe original scrap rate?

Bryan is Professor Russell’s graduate assistant. He wouldlike to leave for Spring Break tomorrow, but first he has tograde the midterm exams from four classes. These classesare new for Bryan, so he estimates his grading efficiency tobe 80%. Professor Russell has estimated the time requiredto create the key and the time to grade each paper as shownbelow. Bryan anticipates that he’ll need five hours of sleep,an hour to pack, an hour to get to the airport, an hour topost the grades, and three twenty minute breaks during theday for meals. Can Bryan finish his work and make it tothe airport on time in a 24 hour day?

The Simple process has 4 steps. Step 1 & 3 has two resource units, while Step 2 and 3 only has one. The time it takes each resource unit to complete the step is also shown on the diagram. I need help understanding these and the steps that needs to be taken to answer these questions (i) What is the total capacity of the resource units in (units/hr) at each step? (ii) At which of the four steps is there a bottleneck resource pool? (iii) What is the overall process capacity? (iv) If 300 units/hr worth of raw materials flowed into the process, what would be thethroughput of the process?
