Show me elaborate steps to reach every answer given Ryans PPE's is a manufacturing plant that manufacturers then packages and ships
three types of face mask: Product A is a medical grade paper mask, Product B is a
medium grade paper mask, and Product C is a basic low-cost mask.
There are two (2) machines that are operated 16 hours per day that create the
masks. The processing time to manufacture Product A is 4 minutes, 6 minutes for
Product B, and 4 minutes for Product C.
Two (2) workers package the masks. The time to package Product A, B, and C
respectively are 3 minutes, 3 minutes, and 2 minutes. Each worker works 8 hours
per day.
And finally, one (1) worker is responsible for the shipping task for all products (label
and add postage). Regardless of the product type, it takes 60 seconds to complete
the shipping tasks. This worker also works 8 hours per day.
The demand for the products per day is as follows: 100 units for Product A,100 units
for Product B, and 200 units for Product C. Assume that the demand must be served
in the mix described above (i.e., for every 1 unit of A, there is 1 unit of B and 2 units
of C).
a.(1 point) What percentage of a "typical mask" are the Product C?
50%
b.(3 points) What is the implied utilization of the manufacturing machines?
93.75%
c.(3 points) What is the implied utilization of the packaging workers?
104.17%
d.(3 points) What is the implied utilization of the shipping worker?
83.33%
e.(2 points) What is the implied utilization of Pete's PPE's? Show work.
104.17%
f.(6 points) If all workers were cross-trained, which resource is the bottleneck? What is the new implied utilization of Pete's PPE's? NOTE: the machine cannot be cross- trained with the workers.
104.17%
