1 A small, privately owned Asian company is producing a private-label soft drink called Yoggo. A bottling line puts the soft drinks into plastic bottles and then packages the bottles into boxes holding 10 bottles each. The bottling line is comprised of the fol- lowing four steps: (1) the bottling machine takes 1 second to fill a bottle, (2) the lid machine takes 3 seconds to cover the bottle with a lid, (3) a labeling machine takes 3 seconds per bottle, and (4) the packaging machine takes 4 seconds to place a bottle into a box. When a box has been filled with 10 bottles, a worker tending the packaging machine removes the filled box and replaces it with an empty box. Assume that the time for the worker to remove a filled box and replace it with an empty box is negligible and hence does not affect the capacity of the line. Problem data are summarized in the fol- lowing table. Number of Machines 1 Seconds per Bottle 1 Process Step Bottling Apply a lid Labeling Packaging 1 3 1 3 1 4. d. Assuming unlimited demand, what would be the flow rate? [LO3-3) e. Assuming unlimited demand, what would be the utilization at resource "Apply a lid"? [LO3-3) f. If demand were 12 bottles per minute, what would be the utilization of bottling? (LO3-3]
