6.9:
An order for 250 bell ringers is processed on work centers 10 and 20. The setup and run times
are as follows. It is decided to overlap the lot on the two work centers and to split the lot into
two lots of 100 and 150. Move time between operations is 30 minutes. Work center 20 cannot
be set up until the first lot arrives. Calculate the saving in manufacturing lead time.
Setup on "10" = 50 minutes
Setup on "20" = 100 minutes
Run time on "10" = 5 minutes per piece
Run time on "20" = 7 minutes per piece

- A lab provides ultrasound service to patients. The service process consists of two steps: 1. Registration. Performed by a receptionist (Salary rate = $25/hr; Process time = 6 minutes/patient) 2. Ultrasound scan. Performed by a technician (Salary rate = $30/hr; Process time = 20 minutes/patient) Note that the ultrasound images need to be read by radiologists, but we assume that they have an ample capacity and thus will not model the role in the service process. Currently, the lab has 2 receptionists and 3 technicians. The manager anticipates demand to grow to 14 patients/hr in the near future. Thus, he plans to hire more receptionists and/or technicians to increase the service capacity to at least 14 patients/hr.
