Q1:Labor Utilization(16 points, 4 parts, 4 pointsfor each part)

Consider a process consisting of three resources in a worker-paced line and a wage rate of $10 per hour. Assume that there is unlimited demand for the product, and the processing time given for each resource is the time it takes for a single worker to process a unit. When multiple workers work on a single resource, you can assume that the capacity of that resource is given by capacity with a single worker multiplied by the number of workers.

1. what is the process flow rate
2. what is the cycle time
3. How long does it take the process to produce 100 units starting with an empty system?
4. What is the direct labor content?
5. What is the average labor utilization? (For idle time calculation with multiple workers in each resource, refer to Exhibit 4.2)
6. What is the cost of direct labor?

\begin{tabular}{ccc} \hline Resource & Processing time (minutes) & Number of Workers \\ \hline 1 & 10 & 2 \\ 2 & 6 & 1 \\ 3 & 16 & 3 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
