You operate a process with three workstations; the cycle times are given below. A regular batch is 52 units and your production line runs 5 hours per day. Calculate how many hours lead time is required to ship a batch, assuming there are no orders ahead in the queue and there is no inventory to fill the order. Workstation 1 has a cycle time of 2 minutes per unit Workstation 2 has a cycle time of 3 minutes per unit Workstation 3 has a cycle time of 3 minutes per unit Select one: a. 1560.00 b. 8.00 c. 1560.00 d. 90.00 e. 2340.00

An order for 200 units of a product is processed on work centers A and B. The set up time on A is 45 minutes and the run time is 5 minutes per piece. The set up time on B is 40 minutes and the run time is 8 minutes per piece. The wait time between the two operations is 2 hours. The move time between A and B is 15 minutes. Wait time after operation B is 1 hour and the move time into stores is 50 minutes. There is no queue at either work station. Calculate the total manufacturing lead time for the order.
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?
bama pie company's assembly line operations (the assembly line operates for six hundred minutes per day) comprise of eleven tasks, with the longest task time being 2.4 minutes and the shortest task time being 0.4 minutes; the sum of the task times is eighteen minutes. the firm is working on balancing its assembly line operations. the firm needs to produce 200 pies per day; to achieve this, the firm calculates the required cycle time as ---- minutes?
A production line is a set of sequential operations established in a factory plant where components are assembled to make a finished product or where materials are put through a refining process to produce an end-product that is suitable for onward consumption. Ford have seven production lines in their manufacturing plant for their automotive parts where each production line produces 120, 100, 80, 116, 77, 94, 112 output per day. (a) As the Production Manager at Ford, you are required to submit the daily report of the production plant. Calculate the mean, median, and mode from the data based on the output that has been provided. (b) Also calculate the three critical parameters for measuring spread in the following ways: Range Variance Standard Deviation
A company is in the business of machining parts that go through various work centers. Suppose work center A feeds work center B with parts. The following times (in minutes) are given for each work center. Work Center Setup time Run time (per part) Move time A 3 0.5 6 B 2 0.1 8 A standard kanban container holds 50 parts that are transferred from work center A to work center B. The demand rate at work center B is four parts per minute. How many kanban containers are needed for this situation? 2. If move time is cut in half, what does this do to the number of containers needed? How much will this change reduce inventory?
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit of St Francis hospital has 2 MRI machines and sees two kinds of patients, "regular" patients and "contrast" patients. The regular patients don't need any special preparation before imaging but the contrast patients receive an injection of "dye" that enables the physicians to see the images more clearly. Regular patients require 15 minutes in an MRI machine whereas contrast patients take on average 25 minutes in an MRI machine. Over an 8-hour day, the MRI unit receives an average of 25 regular patients and 5 contrast patients. (a) What is the implied utilization (as a %) of the MRI unit? % (b) What are the actual and maximum flow rates through the MRI (patients per day)? regular contrast Actual flow rates Max flow rates.
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit of St Francis hospital has 2 MRI machines and sees two kinds of patients, “regular” patients and “contrast” patients. The regular patients don’t need any special preparation before imaging but the contrast patients receive an injection of “dye” that enables the physicians to see the images more clearly. Regular patients require 15 minutes in an MRI machine whereas contrast patients take on average 25 minutes in an MRI machine. Over an 8-hour day, the MRI unit receives an average of 25 regular patients and 5 contrast patients. Convert the demand and capacity into "hours of work per day" to answer the following questions: (a) What is the implied utilization (as a %) of the MRI unit? % (Round your answer to whole number) Hint: First calculate the demand in hours of work per day: If there are 5 Contrast patients per day and each Contrast patient takes 25 minutes to 'process', how many 'minutes of work' are demanded every day from…
An automobile company assembles cars in a plant and purchases batteries from a vendor in China. The average cost of each battery is $45. The automobile company takes ownership of the batteries when they arrive at the plant. It takes exactly 12 hours to make a car in the plant and the plant assembles 200 cars per 8-hour shift (currently the plant operates one shift per day). Each car uses one battery. The company holds, on average, 8,000 Batteries in raw material inventory at the plant as a buffer. Assignment: Find the total number of batteries in the plant, on average (in work-in-process at the plant and in raw material inventory). How much are these batteries worth? How many days of supply are held in raw material inventory, on average?
Consider doctor’s office: Physician’s have 30 min appointment slots starting at 8 AM to 6 PM Physicians spend 90 min (1.5 hrs.) each day on electronic medical records and 30 min on claims processing/questions related to medical insurance Typically, physicians have 75 percent appointments booked in advance, which leads to frequent cancellations. One out of 6 patients do not show up Even though appointment slots are 30 min, physicians spend on average 23 minutes with patient. Out of those 23 min, say 5 min could be done by nurse How much of physician’s work is value added
An order for 100 of a product is processed on work centers A and B. The setup time onA is 50 minutes, and run time is 5 minutes per piece. The setup time on B is 60 minutes, and the run time is 5 minutes per piece. Wait time between the two operations is5 hours. The move time between A and B is 40 minutes. Wait time after operation B is5 hours, and the move time into stores is 3 hours. Queue at work center A is 25 hoursand at B is 35 hours. Calculate the total manufacturing lead time for the order.
