Consider a process consisting of three resources; each resource is staffed by two workers. - Resource #1 has a processing time of 10 minutes per unit. - Resource #2 has a processing time of 8 minutes per unit. - Resource #3 has a processing time of 4 minutes per unit. Assume each worker gets paid $15 per hour. Each unit is sold for $6 and includes parts that are sourced for $1 which is the variable cost. The company has fixed costs of $10 per hour. Demand rate is assumed as 13 units per hour. a. What is the idea cycle time to meet the demand? (25/100) Demand rate is 13 units per hour 75/13=5.77 minutes staffed by two workers b. Which option is the best in terms of the profit per hour? (Calculate the profit of each option to choose the best one.) 1 . - Option \&1: 10\% lower material costs (25/100) 15 per hour 3 - Option #2: 10% lower fixed costs (25/100) - Option =3:10% faster at bottleneck (25/100)
