Question:
Consider the Kristen's Cookie case and suppose that the sequence of tasks is the same, but the duration of some of the tasks changes to the following:
Mixing 5 minutes of labor time for 1 dozen cookies;
6 minutes of labor time for 2 dozen of the same type of cookies;
7 minutes of labor time for 3 dozen of the same type of cookies;
Spooning 2 minutes of labor time per dozen cookies;
Baking 15 minutes of oven time per dozen cookies
(1 minute of labor time to load the oven, 14 minutes of baking);
Cooling 4 minutes per dozen cookies;
Packing 2 minutes of labor time per dozen cookies;
Payment 2 minutes of labor time per order.
As in the case, you will mix and spoon; your roommate will set up and load the oven, pack, and accept payment.Furthermore, assume that threeidentical ovens are available for your use.
(1) Consider a particular day when each customer order is for one dozen cookies.
- Draw a process flow diagram showing the time of each task.
- Identify the bottleneck and determine the steady-state system capacity (in dozens per hour).
- What is the steady-state utilization of the ovens (in percentage)?
- What will be the steady-state system capacity (in dozens per hour) if your roommate is not available and one of the three ovens breaks down?
(2) Suppose that each customer order is for two-dozen cookies of the same type.
- What would be the bottleneck and the steady-state system capacity (in dozens per hour)?
- What is the cycle time (in minutes) for the system?
- Create a Gantt chart and determine the throughput time (in minutes).
(3) Suppose that each customer order is for three-dozen cookies of the same type.
- What would be the bottleneck and the steady-state system capacity (in dozens per hour)?
- Create a Gantt chart and determine the throughput time (in minutes).
- What is the steady-state utilization of you (in percentage)? Of your roommate?
- What will be the steady-state system capacity (in dozens per hour) if you don't work and your roommate is the only available labor?
