b question is for 8 and 9.

b) You have just been hired at a more advanced factory that produces two types of parts, code named A and B. The parallel machine production line produces (on average) part A 25% of the time and part B 75% of the time. Use the average time to produce each part at each workstation (given in the table below) to answer the following questions (keep your time based answers in minutes or units per minute): Part A (25%) Part B (75%) Workstation 1 6 minutes 4 minutes (2 machines) Workstation 2 16 minutes 8 minutes (4 machines) 7) The bottleneck rate for this line (rb) in parts/minute is (enter 2 decimal places): Your boss instructs you to buy a total of four new machines to add to the line because business is booming. How many machines would you place at each work station to maximize the overall line throughput? (Hint: You might find a spreadsheet easier to manage than doing these calculations by hand) Please write only the additional machines to allocate to each workstation (not the 'new' total number of machines). 8) Number of additional machines at Workstation 1: 9) Number of additional machines at Workstation 2 Percent of Work Workstation Processing Rate Bottleneck Rate .
