Using the process flow below answer the following
Using the process flow below answer the following questions. Assume one resource at each activity. 1. Identify the Bottleneck. (5 points) Step 3 2. What is the process cycle time in Minutes? (5 points) 2.4min 40/60=0.66730/60=0.525/60=0.4161/0.416=2.430/60=0.5 For Questions 3-6 Assume that you have unlimited demand and you work in a push system. (Each resource works as fast as it can) 3. What is the Utilization of activity 2 ? (10 points) 100% Utilization = labor content / labor content + idle time 30/30=1 4. What is the Utilization of activity 4 ? (10 points) 5. After 10 hours of operation, how many units will have accumulated in Q2? (5 points) 6. After 10 hours of operation, how many units will have accumulated in Q3? (5 points) 7. What is the throughput of the process? (10 points) For questions 7-9. Assume that demand = system capacity and you now operate in a pull system? 8. What is the Utilization of activity 2 ? ( 10 points) 9. What is the Utilization of activity 3 ? ( 10 points) 10. After 10 hours of operation, how many units will have accumulated in Q2 ( 5 points) 11. What is the throughput of the process? (5 points) 12. What system (push or pull) would you prefer? Explain Why? ( 10 points)
