Question 3 (2 points) OSCM Auto Dealer sells 240 cars per month. The inventory turnover is 4 per year. How many cars are in the inventory on average? (Please write your numeric answer as an integer; e.g., if you think it's 42 cars, write 42) Your Answer: 60 Answer Answer the following questions based on this flow diagram: 5 min/unit 4 min/unit 2 min/unit 5 min/unit 2 min/unit Stage A 5 min/unit Stage B Stage C Question 4 (3 points) What is the capacity of the entire process? units/hour. Assume that the process is run for an entire shift of 10 hours. What's the average (flow) time spent through the WIP buffer before Stage C? hours. Hide hint for Question 4 Part 1: Figure out how many units each stage can produce per hour. Then, identify the bottleneck stage and its capacity. Part 2: Focus on the WIP buffer. Identify the rate at which units enter the buffer, and the rate at which units exit the buffer. Calculate the difference of the rates in the previous step, find the average inventory during the shift, and apply the Little's Law formula.
