Concept explainers
a)
To determine: Thesequence of jobs that are based on decision rule First Come First Served (FCFS).
Introduction: First Come First Served is the
b)
To determine: The sequence of jobs based on decision rule Shortest Processing Time (SPT).
Introduction: Shortest Processing Tine is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the shortest duration would be served first. Then, the process would go on from the shortest to largest duration.
c)
To determine: The sequence of jobs based on decision rule Longest Processing Time (LPT).
Introduction: Largest Processing Tine is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the largest duration would be served first. Then, the process would go on from the largest to shortest duration.
d)
To determine: The sequence of jobs based on decision rule Earliest Due Date (EDD).
Introduction: Earliest Due Date is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the earliest due date would be served first. Then, the process would go on from the earliest due date to latest due date.
e)
To determine: The sequence of jobs based on critical ratio.
Introduction: Critical ratio is kind of scheduling rule that helps to identify that, the task or job is on the correct track. It would help to identify if the task is behind or ahead of the schedule.

Takt time = ?arrow_forwardQuestion 2: A manager wants to assign tasks to workstations as efficiently as possible and achieve an hourly output of 28 units. Assume the shop works a 56-minute hour. Assign the tasks shown in the accompanying precedence diagram (times are in minutes) to workstations using the following rules: (SEE PHOTO) a. What is Cycle time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) In order of most following tasks. Tiebreaker: greatest positional weight. (Use your rounded cycle time. Enter your tasks in the order they were assigned at each station as a letter between a and h in lowercase with no other text or symbols. Round your numerical answers to 1 decimal place.) What is Efficiency? (Use your rounded cycle time in the denominator of your efficiency calculation. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) b. In order of greatest positional weight.

A unit needs to be processed at either Machine A or Machine B for Station 1 (parallel lines, both lines doing the exact same thing). The unit is then processed at Stations 2 and 3 before leaving the work cell. What is the process time of this system measured in minutes/unit?arrow_forward
- Question Three Processing times (including setup times), and due dates for five jobs waiting to be processed at a work center are given in the following table. By Using the SPT rule determine the following: The sequence of jobs The average flow time The average job tardiness The average number of jobs at the work center Job Processing Time (hours) Hour Due A 17 15 B 10 25 C 5 20 D 7 32 E 11 38arrow_forward..15.19 The following jobs are waiting to be processed at Julie Morel's machine center: PRODUCTION JOB DATE ORDER RECEIVED DAYS NEEDED DATE ORDER DUE A 180 200 175 230 210 AB B n D E 110 120 122 125 130 20 30 10 16 18 In what sequence would the jobs be ranked according to the fol- lowing rules: (a) FCFS, (b) EDD, (c) SPT, and (d) LPT?

The Tailwind shoe, which sells for $210, contains both gas- and liquid-filled compartments to provide more stability and better protection against knee, foot, and back injuries. Manufacturing the shoes requires 10 separate tasks. There are 400 minutes available for manufacturing the shoes in the plant each day. Daily demand is 60.

It takes 4 min (on average) to make a business call and 6 min (on average) to make a charity call. If there are 240 min of calling time to be distributed each day, how should that time be spent so that Courtesy Calls makes a maximum profit? What changes, if any, occur in the maximum profit and optimal production policy if they must make at least 12 business and 10 charity calls every day?arrow_forward
- Question 1 Rock View Restaurant is a new fast food restaurant chain. The Operations Manager has divided its normal drive-through service process into the following tasks: Tasks Description Task Time Predecessors (In Seconds) A Take order 25 None В Receive payment 20 A C Gather drinks 35 A D Gather food 32 А Put food etc. in bag Give food to E 25 C.D F 10 В.Е customer Currently, Rock View Restaurant has a single window with one person who takes the order, gather the food, collects the money and gives the food to the customer. This takes an average of 147 seconds per customer so only 25.5 cars can be served. Rock View Restaurant wants to increase its drive-through capacity to 60 cars per hour by forming a multi-window line. i. Draw the precedence diagram to represent the process at Rock View Restaurant. ii. Calculate the cycle time in seconds. iii. Calculate the minimum number of windows that Rock View Restaurant will need to serve 60 cars per hour.arrow_forwardQuestion 2: start ever Activity A Activity B Activity A Activity B Activity C Activity D Activity E Activity F Activity G Activity H Activity Activity C 20% 40% 40% Calculate CTE of the following process: Activity D Activity E 2 days 1 day 1 day 2 days 2 days 1 day 1 day 4 days Cycle Time Activity G Activity H 2 hours 2 hours 1 hour 2 hours 2 hours 3 hours 2 hours 4 hours 20% Process Time end event Larrow_forwardQuestion 11 A company is designing a product layout for anew product It plans to use this production Ine eight hours a day in order to meet projected demand of 480 units per day The tasks necessary to produce this product Task Predecessor Time (seconds) 30 50 V. 12 V. 38 30 The company uses the folowing primary and secondary rules to balance the ine Primary nde the largest number of followers Secondary nule the largest processing tme to balance the ine What will be the total number of workstations on the line be?arrow_forward
