Monster Inc. is producing gaming laptops following the process chart given below. Activity times and number of workers at each activity step are given on the chart. Assume a steady process and answer the following questions. Activity 1 Activity time: 7 min Resource pool size: 7 workers Activity 2 Activity time: 10 min Resource pool size: 12 workers a) (7 pts) What is the maximum number of laptops that can be produced in an 8-hour workday? b) (8 pts) If the company would like to produce 528 laptops in an 8-hour workday, how many additional workers we need to hire for each activity? (Assume that company can hire full time workers only) Drone Short range Long range Activity 3 Activity time: 15 min Resource pool size: 10 workers c) (10 pts) Monster also manufactures drones. There are two types of drones: short range and long range, and both types are produced using a single dedicated resource pool of 7 workers. (Laptop and drone productions are independent). Chart given below provides information on drone production. Calculate the maximum number of drones that can be produced in an 8-hour day, given 70 percent of the drones are short range and the rest is long range. Processing time per drone 0.25 hours 0.50 hours Setup time per batch 2 hours 3 hours Batch size 50 75 Monster Inc. is producing gaming laptops following the process chart given below.
