The Mach 10 is a one-person sailboat manufactured by Creative Leisure. The final assembly plant is in Cupertino, California. The assembly area is available for production of theMach 10 for 200 minutes per day. (The rest of the time it is busy making other products.) The daily demand is 60 boats. Given the information in the table on the next page,a) Draw the precedence diagram and assign tasks using five workstations .b) What is the efficiency of the assembly line, using your answer to (a)?c) What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations?d) What is the idle time per boat produced?
A production process consists of a three-step operation. The scrap rate is 14 percent for the first step and 8 percent for the other two steps.
a. If the desired daily output is 492 units, how many units must be started to allow for loss due to scrap? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)
b. If the scrap rate for each step could be cut in half at every operation, how many units would this save in terms of the scrap allowance? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)
c. If the scrap represents a cost of $10 per unit, how much is it costing the company per day for the original scrap rate (i.e. the Part a scrap rate)? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)

- Two manufacturing processes are being considered for making a new product. Process A is less capital intensive, with fixed costs of $60,000 per year and variable costs of $700 per unit. Process B has fixed costs of $400,000 annually, with variable costs of $300 per unit. What is the break-even quantity for the two processes? If annual sales are expected to be 700 units, which process should be selected? Operations and Engineering have found a way to reduce the cost of Process B, such that the fixed costs for this process decrease from $400,000 to $300,000 annually. All other costs remain the same. Does this change the process selection for the annual sales volume of 700 units?arrow_forwardTwo different manufacturing processes are being considered for maing a new product.
