Scenario 1
Revisit Billy Bob's Campus cookies (BBCC) discussed in the assigned reading, "Process Analysis: Definitions, Tools, and Insights". For question 1, 2, and 3 assume no parallel processing takes place. This means that only one activity is going on at any point in time.
1. Since the cookie sheets can hold exactly 1 dozen cookies, BBCC will produce and sell cookies by the dozen. How much time will it take to fill an order of 2, 3, or 4 dozen cookies? Answer should be: Oven as a resource is the only one that increases time per dozen of about 10 minutes . Thus , 1 Dozen = 26 minutes 2 Dozen = 36 minutes 3 Dozen = 36 minutes 4 Dozen = 46 minutes
2. Assuming each order is for 2 dozen cookies, what is the production capacity and takt time of this process?
3. What is the WIP inventory level if demand is from customers ordering 1 dozen at a time if the system consists of 2 ovens and Billy working alone? (Note we are gaining one resource and losing another here.)
For questions 4, 5 and 6 assume that parallel processing can take place.
4. Since the cookie sheets can hold exactly 1 dozen cookies, BBCC will produce and sell cookies by the dozen. How much time will it take to fill an order of 2, 3, or 4 dozen cookies?
5. Assuming each order is for 2 dozen cookies, what is the production capacity in cookies per hour and takt time of this process?
6. What is the WIP inventory level if demand is from customers ordering 1 dozen at a time if the system consists of 2 ovens and Billy working alone? (Assume that there is a backlog of orders so the bottleneck is always in the production process).
phone in orders to specify the ingredients they want in their cookies. The cookies will be ready for pickup at Billy's apartment within the hour. oven only holds one sheet and a sheet holds only 1 dozen cookies, the baking operation for a second dozen will similarly take an additional 10 minutes - one minute to set the oven and nine minutes to bake the cookies. Figure 5 Process Diagram for Billy Bob's Cookies Total mix and spoon = 8 minutes Total bake time 10 min. Mix Spoon Bake The Production Process: Baking cookies is simple: mix the ingredients; spoon out the dough onto a cookie sheet; put the sheet in the oven; and take the cookies off of the sheet and pack them in a box. Billy and Bob already own all the necessary equipment; mixing bowls, cookie sheets, and spoons. Billy's apartment has a small oven that will hold one cookie sheet at a time. Billy's rent includes electricity. Thus the variable costs, include only the cost of the ingredients (estimated to be $0.60/dozen), the cost of the box in which the cookies are packed ($0.10 per box, and each box holds 12 cookies) and the value of Billy and Bob's time. Assume that Billy and Bob value their time at, $9.00/hr. Load oven, set timer Step 3 Step 1 Step 2 Step 4 6 min. 2 min 1 min 9 min Cool Pack Receive Payment n Sten 5 Step 6 Step 7 5 min 2 min 1 min The first production step performed by Billy, is to wash out the mixing bowl from the previous batch, add all of the ingredients, and mix them in the bowl. The mixing bowls hold ingredients for up to 3 dozen cookies. Billy then spoons out the cookies, one dozen at a time, onto a cookie sheet. It takes 6 minutes for the washing and mixing steps, regardless of how many cookies are being made in the batch. That is, to mix enough dough and ingredients for two dozen cookies takes the same six minutes as one dozen. However, dishing up the cookies onto the sheet takes two minutes Bob also performs the last steps of the process by first removing the cookies from the oven and putting them aside to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully packing them in a box and accepting the payment. Removing cookies from the takes only a negligible amount of time, but it must be done promptly. It takes two minutes to pack each dozen and one minute to accept payment for the order. This is to be the process for producing cookies at BBCC. Oven per dozen. The next step, performed by Bob, is to put the cookies in the oven and set the thermostat and timer, which takes about a minute. The cookies bake for the next nine minutes. So the total baking operation takes 10 minutes, during the first minute of which Bob is busy setting the oven. Because the Before Billy and Bob start their business, they want to analyze the production process to assess its expected performance. Specifically, they want to answer the following questions. Assume that all orders
