- A production process at Kenneth Day Manufacturing is shown in the figure below. The drilling operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with, the sawing and sanding, which are independent sequential operations. A product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel).

His first step is to develop a flowchart for the current process that employees at his center follow. He has asked you to draw that flowchart for him and make any obvious changes to shorten the process. Here are the key steps that are followed: The LLMC employee fills out a paper requisition and sends that to his department head for approval. The department secretary first examines the requisition to see if all needed information is present. If it is, then she sends to the department head for approval. If not, she returns to the employee for any needed corrections. The employee then returns the requisition to the department secretary for review again. Requisitions with the correct information are sent to the department head. The department head reviews the item to determine…arrow_forwardCanine Kernels Company (CKC) manufactures two differenttypes of dog chew toys (A and B, sold in 1,000-count boxes)that are manufactured and assembled on three differentworkstations (W, X, and Y) using a small-batch process (seeFigure 5.12). Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchartdenotes the path each product follows through the manu-facturing process, and each product’s price, demand perweek, and processing times per unit are indicated as well.Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during pro-duction are represented by inverted triangles. CKC can makeand sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penaltiesare incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Eachworkstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to workon that workstation alone, and is paid $6 per hour. Totallabor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are$3,500/week. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day, or40 hours/week. Which of the three workstations, W, X, or Y,has the highest…arrow_forward
