Cubway, the sandwich shop, is run by Jim, Tim and Kim. When a customer arrives, Jim spends 5 minutes taking order from the customer. After this, Tim prepares bread and Kim prepares filling for the order. These activities are performed in parallel, and take 6 and 12 minutes respectively. Jim then assembles the bread and filling, which takes 4 minutes of his time. Finally, Tim spends 1 minutes in delivering the order and taking payment. What is maximum number of sandwiches Cubway can make per hour? (In other words, what is the capacity of the process in sandwiches per hour?)
local market research fim has just won a contract for several thousand small projects involving   data gathering and statistical analysis. In the past, the firm has assigned each project to a single member of its highly trained professional staff. This person would both gather and analyze the data Using this approach, an experienced person can complete an average of 10 such projects in an eight-hour day. The firm's management is thinking of assigning two people to each project in order to allow them to specialize and become more efficient The process would require the data gatherer to fill out a matrix on the computer, check it and transmit it to the statistical analysis program for the analyst   to complete. Data can be gathered on one project while the analysis is being completed on   another, but the analysis must be complete before the statistical analysis program can accept the   new data. After some practice, the new process can be completed with a standard time of 20   minutes…
Rocky’s Pre-Cast Shop is considering two different processes for completing Pre-Cast jobs. Process A uses one person to setup the job and do the pre-casting. If this approach is used, an experienced person can complete an average of 20 jobs per day. Process B uses two people. One person does the setup and the second person does the actual pre-casting. Setup on one job can be done while pre-casting is being completed on another but pre-casting must be completed on a job before the pre-cast machine can start processing the next. After some practice, this second process can be completed with a standard time of 10 minutes for setup and 15 minutes for actual pre-casting. In either case, assume an 8-hour day, 5 days per week, 250 days per year. 3.   Assuming ideal conditions, what is the maximum capacity of process B? 4.   How long would it take to process 200 jobs using process A (assume only one worker and one machine)?        5.   If Rocky’s is primarily…
