d. Using the graph below, detailing an assembly line with two work stations, answer the following questions (i) What is happening to Station 1 that is causing the gaps in production? (ii) What is the bottleneck? (iii) What is the system cycle time? (iv) Is there an inventory location between station 1 and station 2? Why? Q2. Process Analysis and Process Design (A) The new computer controlled NCX machine has replaced 3 older machines. Before the replacement, each part required two minutes of processing on the first machine, then eight minutes of processing on the second machine, and finally four minutes on the third. (Each of these machines had a dedicated operator.) The new NCX-10 machine can do all 3 steps in 10 minutes per part. As a result of the introduction of the NCX-10: a. flow time for this process has: (i) increased (ii) decreased (iii) not changed b. capacity rate for this process has: (i) increased (ii) decreased (iii) not changed
