In a factory operating at capacity, every machine and person should be working at the maximum possible rate.
One way to increase the effective utilization of a bottleneck is to reduce the number of defective units.
Which of the following captures the idea of Andon?(a) Examples of this include workers having to make unnecessary movements (i.e.,excessive reaching or walking to get tools or parts), working on parts that are defective,and idle time.(b) A system that enables a line worker to signal that he or she needs assistance from hisor her supervisor, for example, in the case of a defect. It is used to implement the jidokaprinciple.(c) A brainstorming technique that helps structure the process of identifying underlyingcauses of a (usually undesirable) outcome.(d) As an example of this philosophy, workers in the factory have notebooks at theirworkstations that they use to jot down improvement ideas.(e) A method that controls the amount of work-in-process inventory.(f) If an automotive assembly plant used this technique, the adjacent cars on an assemblyline would be mixed models (e.g., Model A with sunroof, Model A without sunroof,Model B, Model B with sunroof) in proportions equal to customer…
A copy machine is available 24 hours a day. On a typical day, the machine produces 100 jobs. Each job takes about 3 minutes on the machine, 2 minutes of which is processing time and 1 minute is setup time (logging in, defining the job). About 20 Percent of the jobs need to be reworked, in which case the setup time and the processing time have to be repeated. The remainder of the time, the equipment is idle.
What is the OEE of the equipment?
answer:______percent

- The information turnaround time is driven primarily by:a. the number of workers.b. the IT system.c. the inventory in the process.d. the amount of waste in the process.arrow_forwardn a manufacturing process, a molded part spends 7 hours in inventory before being placed in a deburring machine, where the part is processed for 2 minutes. After deburring, the part spends 4 hours in inventory waiting for its turn on the polishing machine. The part then spends 7 minutes in polishing before waiting 6 hours in line to be painted. The part goes through a painting process that takes 7 minutes, then spends 11 hours in inventory before being shipped to the customer. What is the percentage of value-added time for the part?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of just-in-time processing? a.In just-in-time processing, supervisors enter materials into manufacturing so as to keep all the manufacturing departments (processes) operating. b.It assigns service activities to centralized service departments. c.It is a management approach that focuses on reducing time and cost and eliminating poor quality. d.In just-in-time processing, a worker typically performs only one function.arrow_forward
- A machine can operate for an average of 10 weeks before it needs to be overhauled, a process which takes two days. The machine is operated five days a week. Compute the availability of this machine. (Hint: All times must be in the same units.)arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image format thanku The flow rate through a process is 0.5 flow units per minute. The number waiting for the process is 1. The time to do the activity in the process is 1 minute. This is a stable system. The average amount of time a flow unit spends waiting for the activity and doing the activity = ______. Enter one integer (which can be 0) and ONE decimal, so the answer looks like X.X. Any of the Xs can be a 0.arrow_forwardClinical supervision is a management practice that benefits from parallel processing. This helps students learn and succeed. If two tasks cannot be completed simultaneously, then the time spent waiting for the delayed task to begin might be used toward finishing the first task. The individual's productivity is increased and time is better controlled thanks to parallel processing.arrow_forward

- Mrs. Freddy Mitchell, in her lecture, stated that a transaction processing system (TPS) is software that ensures the completion of business transactions and keeps track of those business transactions. An online transaction processing system (OTPS) is an equivalent system that online merchants use for e-commerce. The TPS ensures that each transaction is successful by storing, sending, and receiving information via a database. She added that because the process is lengthy, it is broken down into cycles, which are broken further into systems and subsystems. Zara- Lee, a participant in Mrs. Freddy Mitchell’s Lecture series, got confused as Mrs. Freddy Mitchell began to elaborate on the many different systems, and Zara- Lee mentioned to YOU that she is experiencing information overload. YOU then responded that Mrs. Freddy Mitchell’s explanation was clear and concise, and YOU would explain the revenue cycle, its components, and the sub-systems that constitute that cycle after class.…arrow_forwardJohnson Fastener and Tool had a six-hour work stoppage yesterday, which means the company does not have its usual number of fasteners stored in inventory. Concerned that the inability to fulfill all current orders may have an adverse effect on some customers, Acme's account executives are notifying all customers, including Henderson Air, that there could potentially be a small delay in delivering some orders. This is an example of:arrow_forwardAn engineering i rm retains a technical specialist to assist four design engineers workingon a project. The help that the specialist gives engineers ranges widely in time consumption.The specialist has some answers available in memory, others require computation,and still others require signii cant search time. On the average, each request for assistancetakes the specialist one hour.The engineers require help from the specialist on the average of once each day. Becauseeach assistance takes about an hour, each engineer can work for seven hours, on the average,without assistance. One further point: Engineers needing help do not interrupt if thespecialist is already involved with another problem.Treat this as a i nite queuing problem and answer the following questions:a. How many engineers, on average, are waiting for the technical specialist for help?b. What is the average time that an engineer has to wait for the specialist?c. What is the probability that an engineer will have to wait…arrow_forward
