Consider a two-step process that handles three types of customers. Each resourceis staffed by one employee. Type 1 customers spend 5 minutes at resource 1 and 2 minutesat resource 2. Type 2 customers also spend 5 minutes at resource 1, but spend 10 minutes atresource 2. Finally, type 3 customers spend no time at resource 1 and 8 minutes at resource2. Each hour, the demand is 10 customers of type 1, 4 customers of type 2, and 2 customers oftype 3. Where in the process is the bottleneck? What is the flow rate for each customer type?

You work for a small shipping company and warehouse. The owners have decided to update the software used for tracking, shipping, receiving, and inventory. Fifteen computers need to be updated. Hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Each computer must be updated manually by one of two trained employees, both of whom must be borrowed from other managers. The update procedure consumes 4 hours of the updater's time and generates an additional 1.5 hours of computer downtime. The work must be performed at a central loading station, away from the current location of the computer. How does the project portfolio management approach lead to enhanced strategic management for an organization and give an example how you woulduse this in a work place?
A final assembly plant for a certain automobile model is to have a capacity of 240,000 units annually. The plant will operate 50 weeks/yr, two shifts/day, 5 days/week, and 8.0 hours/shift. It will be divided into three departments: (1) Body shop, (2) paint shop, (3) trim-chassis-final department. The body shop welds the car bodies using robots, and the paint shop coats the bodies. Both of these departments are highly automated. Trim-chassis-final has no automation. There are 15.5 hours of direct labor content on each car in this department, where cars are moved by a continuous conveyor. Determine: (a) Hourly production rate of the plant, (b) number of workers and workstations required in trim-chassis-final if no automated stations are used, the average manning level is 2.5, balancing efficiency = 93%, proportion uptime = 95%, and a repositioning time of 0.15 min is allowed for each worker.
Posh Nails Katie Posh runs an upscale nail salon. The service process includes five activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (The time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): Activity 1: Welcome a guest. (1 minute)Activity 2: Clip and file nails. (3 minutes)Activity 3: Paint. (5 minutes)Activity 4: Dry. (10 minutes)Activity 5: Check out the customer. (4 minutes)Three servers (S1, S2, and S3) offer the services in a worker-paced line. The assignment of tasks to servers is the following: S1 does Activity 1. S2 does Activities 2 and 3. S3 does Activities 4 and 5. The drying process does not require server 3’s constant attention; she/he needs to only escort the customer to the salon’s drying chair (equipped with fans for drying). The time to do this is negligible. There exists only one drying chair in the salon. Assume a wage rate of $12 per hour. What are the direct labor costs for one customer (in dollars)?

A furniture factory makes two types of wooden tables,large and small. See the flowchart below .Small tables are made in batches of 100, and large tables are made in batches of 50. A batch includes a fixed setup time for the entire batch at each process step and a run time for each piece in the batch. Both large and small tables have the same processing times. The capacities of each process step are given, and apply to production of either type of table, as shown in the flowchart. a. What is the capacity of the system, and what is thebottleneck? b. What are the throughput times for batches of large and small tables? c. When producing at a rate of six small tables per hour on average, how many tables will be in the system?
Tyler bakes Cookies (C) and Breads (B) with the help of two ovens in his little bakery. The time taken by Oven A to bake each cookie batch is 14 minutes and the time taken by Oven B is 12 minutes. The time taken by Oven A to bake a batch of bread is 16 minutes and the time taken by Oven B is 17 minutes. Each week both Ovens can be used for 50 hours each to bake Cookies and Breads. The rest of the time is used for baking other products. Moreover, Tyler starts each week with a stock of 25 batches of Cookies and 30 batches of Breads because the Cookies and Breads he produces can be considered to be “fresh” for a maximum of 2 weeks. There is an average weekly demand of 70 batches of Cookies and 50 batches of Breads. For each batch of Cookies, Tyler makes $30 in profit and for each batch of Breads Tyler makes $25 in profit. If there are any “close to losing freshness” goods at the end of the week, Tyler sells them at heavily discounted prices on weekends with a profit of $5 per batch of…
Vollmer Manufacturing makes three components for sale to refrigeration companies. The components are processed on two machines: a shaper and a grinder. The times (in minutes) required on each machine are as follows: Machine Component Shaper Grinder 1 6 4 2 4 5 3 4 2 The shaper is available for 120 hours, and the grinder is available for 110 hours. No more than 200 units of component 3 can be sold, but up to 900 units of each of the other components can be sold. In fact, the company already has orders for 600 units of component 1 that must be satisfied. The profit contributions for components 1, 2, and 3 are $8, $6, and $9, respectively. (a) Formulate and solve for the recommended production quantities. component 1 unitscomponent 2 unitscomponent 3 units (b) What are the objective coefficient ranges for the three components?
