Complete the following problems. For each problem clearly indicate the values of 2, L, and that are given and use Little's Law to calculate the value that is missing. Note: L-2W, 1-L/W, and W=1/2. You must show all of your work for any credit on a problem. You must also indicate units with your answer. leg. cars, cars/day, hours, etc.) 1. A manufacturer has 875 cars as WIP on the assembly line. It takes 23 hours to make 1 car. Use Little's law to determine the company's cycle time? Hint: Cycle time (cars/day) is lambda, Lis the same as WIP, W is the time to make a car. Assume 24 hours per day. Answer: 2 W= 2. A manufacturer has 1,050 cars on the assembly line as WIP at any given time and ships 475 cars/day. Use Little's Law to determine how many hours a car spends on the assembly line? Hint: Cycle time (cars/day) is lambda, L is the same as WIP, W is the time to make a car. Assume 24 hours per day. Answer: 2 LE W= 3. A manufacturer ships 1,150 cars/day. It takes 23 hours to make 1 car. Use Little's Law to determine the WIP inventory level? Hint: Cycle time (cars/day) is lambda, L is the same as WIP, Wis the time to make a car. Assume 24 hours per day. Answer: 2 LE W= 4. A container port has room for 57,000 containers and processes 890,000 containers per year. How long (in days) do containers stay in the port? Answer: 1 L= W= 5. Walmart must run 60 routes from its Statesboro DC each day (24 hours). The routes take an average of 6 hours to complete. How many trucks do they need to satisfy the demand for distribution (assuming trucks can operate 24 hours per day with multiple drivers.) W= Answer: 1 6. A warehouse with 16,000 pallets experiences inventory turnover 5 times per year. At what volume per year must it move pallets? Answer: 2 L= W= 7. A barge company moves CB freight between Memphis and New Orleans. Each barge tow is limited to 15 barges. The round trip takes 6 days. Forecasts call for 34 round trip tows per month. How many towboats does the company need to satisfy this demand. (Assume a month is 30 days.) W= Answer: 2
