14. A processor makes two components, A and B, which are then packaged together as the final product (each product sold contains one A and one B). The processor can do only one component at a time: Either it can make As or it can make Bs. There is a setup time when switching from A to B. Current plans are to make 100 units of component A, then 100 units of component B, then 100 units of component A, then 100 units of component B, and so forth, where the setup and run times for each component are given as follows: Assume the packaging of the two components is totally automated and takes only two seconds per unit of the final product. This packaging time is small enough that you can ignore it. What is the average hourly output, in terms of the number of units of packaged product (which includes one component A and one component B )? napter 7 number 16 (14 marks) 16. Wally's Widget Warehouse takes orders from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. The manager wants to analyze the process and has provided the following process flow diagram. There are three steps required to ship a customer order. The first step is to take the order from a customer. The second step is to pick the order for the customer, and then they have to pack the order to ready it for shipping. The order-taking step works at a maximum rate of 100 customer orders per hour. Order picking works at a maximum of 80 per hour, and packing works at 60 per hour. Wally wants to figure out the following: a. What is the current maximum output of the process assuming that no one works overtime? (For your answers to these questions, assume that everyone can start working at 7 A.M.) b. How long will the picking and packing operations have to work if we have a day where the order taker works at his maximum capacity all day? c. Given b, what is the maximum number of orders waiting to be picked? d Given b, what is the maximum number of orders waiting to be packed? e If we double the packing capacity (from 60 to 120 orders per hour), what impact does this have on your answers in parts ( b ), (c ), and (d) ?
