Question: The following table provides information on a process, whose sequence of flow is A B (any available equipment can be used) C

The following table provides information on a process, whose sequence of flow is A → B (any available equipment can be used) → C → D (any available equipment can be used):

(a) Calculate the overall daily design capacity and effective capacity for the entire process. Assume 8 hours a day.

(b) If we increase the design capacity of the equipment for Operation A by 15 percent, what would be the new design capacity and effective capacity of this process?

Operation # of Equipment A B C D 1 2 1 4 

Operation # of Equipment A B C D 1 2 1 4 Design Capacity (by equipment) 475 units/hr 265 units/hr 195 units/hr 425 units/hr 145 units/hr 85 units/hr 130 units/hr 155 units/hr Planned Utilization (overall) 83% 93% 97% 85%
