Currently, Trojan Dogs has 2 cashiers for taking orders, 4 cooks for making the hotdogs, and 1 worker for wrapping the hotdogs. a. (5 pts) What is the process capacity of Trojan Dogs? 30 hotdogs /hr b. ( 2 pts) If the demand rate is 15 orders/hour, what is the utilization rate of the 4 cooks? 25% c. (5 pts) If the 4 cooks and the worker who wraps the hotdog are cross trained, what will be the new process capacity? 50 hotdogs/hr d. (6 pts) (Ignore part C regarding cross training) Based on a new food safety regulation, the stand needs to be closed and cleaned for 15 minutes after every 2 hours. After taking this into account, what is the process capacity for Trojan Dogs? 26.67 hotdog/hr
