- Please do not give solution in image formate thanku.arrow_forwardThe following formula is used to calculate the number of bins for a given part needed for a single Kanban loop between two cells in a production system: N = D * (Tw + Tp) * (1+r) / c Where: N = Total number of bins for a given part D = Planned usage rate for the part (parts per day) Tw = Average waiting time for replenishment of parts (fraction of a day) Tp = Average production time for a container of parts (fraction of a day) c = Capacity of the standard container (number of parts) r = Risk factor set by management (expressed as a decimal fraction) At Company A, the boxing station at the end of an electric switch production line has a planned daily usage rate of 150,000 switches per day and receives the switches to be boxed from the preceding station in containers which hold 3% of the day’s demand. It takes 90 minutes for the preceding station to fill a bin and 9 minutes for the filled bin to be delivered to the boxing station.

- Contention works better with large network where the transmission volume is high * O True O Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following best captures the idea of kaizen?(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…arrow_forwardA foreign key value cannot be repeated؟ A) T B) Farrow_forward

- Gestalt, Inc. uses a kanban system in its automobile production facility in Germany. This facility operates 10 hours per day to produce the Jitterbug, a replacement for the obsolete but immensely popular Jitney Beetle. Suppose that a certain part requires 60 seconds of processing at machine cell 33B and an average container of parts averages 1.4 hours of waiting time there. Management has allowed a 12 percent buffer for unexpected occurrences. Each container holds 27 parts, and 5 containers are authorized. How much daily demand can be satisfied with this system? (Hint: Recall that p is the average processing time per container, not per individual part.) The average processing time per container of parts, p, is 0.045 day. (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.) The average waiting time per container of parts, w, is day. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a factor that makes it easier to implement lean in a service delivery system?
