effectively. At this one factory, production at the baking stage for one machine is set to 5,000 wafers per hour which results in 2,500 completed cookies per hour. (See video spot 3:18 for this part) There are two machine lines that simultaneously apply the cream to each cookie, sharing the work equally. To complete this question, you'll need to do the following steps: If we only use one baking machine line (i.e., 5000 wafers), we will produce 2500 cookies per hour. Of the 2500 total cookies, each machine must add cream to _[a]__ cookies per hour (again, there are TWO machines adding the cream filling). This is our DEMAND on each filling machine. From the video, it appears each machine can produce about 3.6 cookies per second. Use this to calculate the capacity or capability of our filling area as cookies per hour. What is the utilization and cushion on this machine if we are producing 5000 wafers to make 2500 total cookies per hour, as above? Enter CUSHION as a decimal (i.e. if it's 60%, enter 0.6 )
