Chapter 11, Problem 49P
(Appendix 11A) Cycle Time and Velocity, Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency
A company like Kicker performs warranty repair work on speakers in a manufacturing cell. The typical warranty repair involves taking the defective speaker apart, testing the components, and replacing the defective components. The maximum capacity of the cell is 1,000 repairs per month. There are 500 production hours available per month.
Required:
- 1. Compute the theoretical velocity (per hour) and the theoretical cycle time (minutes per unit repaired).
- 2. Speaker repair uses 4 minutes of move time, 10 minutes of wait time, and 6 minutes of inspection time. Calculate the MCE.
- 3. Using the information from Requirement 2, calculate the actual cycle time and the actual velocity for speaker repair.

- Dover’s engineers have developed a method that would lower the printing department’s rate of defective products to 6% at the printing operation. Implementing the new method would cost $1,400,000 per month. Should Dover implement the change? Show your calculations.arrow_forwardA machine that produces a certain piece must be turned off by the operator after each piece is completed. The machine "coasts" for 15 seconds after it is turned off, thus preventing the operator from removing the piece quickly before producing the next piece. An engineer has suggested installing a brake that would reduce the coasting time to 3 seconds. The machine produces 50,000 pieces a year. The time to produce one piece is 1 minute 45 seconds, excluding coastint time. The operator earns $13 an hour and direct costs for operation are $2 an hour. The direct costs are incurred whenever the operator has to work. The brake will require servicing every 587 hours of operation. It will take the operator 30 minutes to perform the necessary maintenance and will require $60 in parts and material. The brake is expected to last 7,500 hours of operation (with proper maintenance) and will have no salvage value.

Stainless steel is approximately 10% chromium and 90% iron and other alloys. The price of stainless steel varies month by month based on the price of the inputs and the price of energy and Metal Fabricators expects an adjustment to the future price based on the price of chromium. Metal Fabricators expects to purchase 100 tons of stainless steel in May of 20X2 for the construction season. To protect against price fluctuations, Metal Fabricators enters into a derivative on November 1, 20X1 to buy 10 tons of chromium for delivery May 1, 20X2. Metal Fabricators enters into a contract to purchase stainless steel on March 31, 20X2 (the forecasted purchase) for delivery May 1, 20X2. The contract specifies that the price will be adjusted by the price of chromium on the delivery date and delivery costs. The hedge is 100% effective to that component.
