c. Least WIP, Zero Defects
d. Andon, Auto Line Stop
A machine makes two components; call them types A and B. It takes 630 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time, no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 second to be completed. The two components, A and B, are combined in an assembly process to make a final product; call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components into 1 unit every 4 seconds, or 15 units per minute.
Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 2,520 units of A and 2,520 units of B. In that case, what is the capacity of the machine in component pairs per minute, where a component pair is one unit of A and one unit of B?
Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 2,520 units of A and 2,520 units of B. What is the utilization of the machine?
