XYZ College is planning for the next commencement and has the following estimates to work with. There are 409 students/hr on average going through the commencement process. The school wishes to complete the commencement exercise within an hour. An average of 12 students are hooded per minute. Names are called @one student every 7 seconds. The walk to go to the center of the stage, and physically receive the diploma, takes a student 8.2 seconds, on average. It takes an additional 2 seconds for a student to walk on and exit. There are 5 students on stage, on average - some being hooded, some waiting for their names to be called, some walking to receive their diplomas, and some exiting the stage. Can 409 students be processed in an hour at this commencement, based strictly on the provided data? Hint: Find out the bottleneck capacity Step Time/student Capacity (students/hr) Implied Capacity Utilization 12*60 min = 720 students/hr 409 (demand)/720 = 56.80% Hooding 5 second/student (@12 students/min) Name Calling Walking and Receiving Exit
