QUESTION $25(10$ points$)-$ Efficiency Measurements

We have a hypothetical business process with three consecutive resources $-$ a hand$-$carwash

process, for example. Information about important aspects of the business is presented in the

table$/$template below. Note that the template shows you the recommended steps to calculate

various efficiency measurements. You do not need to fill in the shaded cells. Make sure to show

equations and calculations in your work.

$3$

$($a$)[2]$ Find the flow rate and cycle time, assuming demand is $30$ units per hour.

$($b$)[2]$ Find the cost of direct labor $($CODL$)$ and make a statement about it$.$

$($c$)[2]$ Find the labor content $($LCT$)$ and make a statement about it$.$

$($d$)[3]$ Find the average labor atilization $($ALU$)$ in three ways $($Module $04-$ Slide $48),$ and make a

statement about it$.$ For this part, make sure to show detailed calculations outside the table.

$($e$)[1]$ If the process starts out empty, how long, in minutes, does it take the process to complete

$21$ units? Note that workers at the same resource can perfectly share work at that resource. You

would answer this part outside the above table. $($Hint: Module $04-$ Slide $35)$

Note: in this question, we focus on efficiency of time usage and disregard wage$-$rate differences;

in the future, you can modify the calculations to measure efficiency of money usage.
