Question:
You need to decide how many machines to assign to a worker. The time to load/unload a machine is 4 minutes; then the machine spends 10 minutes running automatically.
- In the synchronous servicing – ideal – case, how many machines will be assigned to one operator?
- Assume that extra w= 1.5 minutes are needed to clean the machine in each cycle; the operator earns $18/hr and the machine cost is $15/hr.
b.1. What the cycle time if n1 is decided?
b.2. What is the production rate if n1 is decided?
b.3. What is the total cost if n1 is decided?
b.4. What the cycle time if n2 is decided?
b.5. What is the production rate if n2 is decided?
b.6. What is the total cost if n2 is decided?
b.7. Based on the total cost, how many machines would you assign to the operator?
