An order for 300 units is processed on work station A. The set-up time is 40 minutes and the run time per units is 10 minutes. This is a rush order so we decided to split the order and run it on two machines within the work center. Both machines can be set up simultaneously. Calculate the following:

  1. What is the lead time if the entire order of 300 units is processed on a single machine? (2 points)
  1. What is the lead time if the order is split and the two machines run simultaneously? (2 points)
  1. What is the lead time reduction due to splitting the order? (1 point)
  1. What would the lead time reduction be if the second machine could not be set up until after the set-up of the first machine was complete? (1 point)
