Process Analysis (35 points). SNMO Co. recently won a contract to refurbish Zambonis (a Zamboni is a machine used to resurface ice for skating). The process used by SNMO Co. is a novel one, in which they use a conveyor belt to move a Zambonis through the refurbishment process, in sequence. The Zamboni refurbishment process consists of the following five steps: Step Description Time required per Zamboni 1 Register Zamboni 1.0 minutes 2 Unhook water pipes 1.5 minutes 3 Scrub and clean 0.8 minutes 4 1.0 minutes Reconnect water pipes Polish and pack 5 1.2 minutes Each step is staffed by a single resource (a former hockey player) that works 40 hours per week. Assume SNM Co's staff is reduced again to 5 former hockey players (the added player from parts (g) - (j) went back to play hockey). Additionally assume that now SNM CO is working at full capacity (the demand is sufficiently high). Further, assume that you make a profit of $150 for every Zamboni that goes through the full process. Question 24 5 pts (k) You are offered a new technology that reduces the flow time of step 2 (unhooking water pipes) by 50% and simultaneously reduces the flow time of step 5 (Polish and pack) by 20%. What is the maximum you should be willing to pay for this technology (please state your answer in dollars per week)
