) Remember to consider only operations 1 through 7 in Exhibit 7.

2) Run time calculation: You should compute an "adjusted run time" for each operation (1-7) to incorporate the setup time to the run time per unit. For example, for operation 1 (shaping panels), compute: [(80+30+60*2)/2500] + [1.6 + 0.85 + 0.35*2]. (Note that the Right/Left panels need to be counted twice, once for each side).

In this way, you will allocate the setup time of each batch to all the units in the batch. The idea is to get a more realistic run time that also includes the time spent in setting up the equipment.

3) Capacity calculation: When you compute the capacity, keep in mind: 1) the total available labor time in a workstation, and 2) the adjusted run time you computed before. For example, for operation 1 you have 1 operator who works 3 shifts (and you also know how many minutes there are in a shift), so you can compute the total available working time in that stationthat is, 40.7hrs/week * 60 mins/hr * 3 shifts = 7326 mins.

4) Finally, you get the capacity of operation 1 by computing: the total available labor time in that station (computed in step #3) divided by the adjusted run time in that station (computed in step #2).

5) The bottleneck of the system is the operation with the lowest capacity.

2) Use the information in Exhibits 7 and 8.

What is the run time per unit?

Hint: include the batch setup time.
