Document Content and Description Below

1) Consider the following four step process: A B C D The following data are available for the four steps: A B C D Activity time per unit (min) 0.25 0.33 0.2 0.5 Capacity per worker (units/min) 4 ... 3 5 2 Number of workers 2 3 2 4 Suppose the steps in activity D are made easier, so the activity time per unit in step D is reduced by 50% (to 0.25 min per unit). If the assignment of workers to steps remains the same, by how much does the capacity of the entire process increase in units per min? (10 pts) Answer = A: Before the change the process capacity is min (4 x 2, 3 x 3, 5 x 2, 2 x 4) = 8 units per min. If the activity time is cut in half for stage D, then process capacity for step D is (1/0.25) x 4 = 16 units per min. Step A can only produce 8 units per minute, so the total capacity of the process doesn’t increase. 2) Panini, a popular sandwich shop, offers 3 types of sandwiches: Grill vegetables, grilled chicken and pastrami which have a combined demand of 40 sandwiches per hour, distributed as shown in the table below: (10 pts) Grilled Vegetables Grilled Chicken Pastrami Demand per hour 25 15 10 There are up to five steps in the process of making sandwiches, listed below with activity times. Only 50% of customers want their sandwich toasted, no matter which sandwich is ordered. Step Grilled Vegetables Grilled Chicken Pastrami Cut bread .75 minutes .75 minutes .75 minutes Grill 1.4 minutes 1.4 minutes - Slice meat - - 3 minutes Toast 2 minutes 2 minutes 2 minutes Wrap .5 minutes .5 minutes .5 minutes Suppose Panini employs 1 worker at each step. What step has the highest implied utilization of this process? [Show More]
