- A process improvement team is working to improve the production output at the Johnson Manufacturing plant’sHeader Cell that manufactures a key component, headers, used in commercial air conditioners. A header is partof the circulatory system of a commercial air conditioner that moves coolant between various components suchas the evaporator coil and the condenser coil. Currently, the header production cell is scheduled separately fromthe main work in the plant. Often, individual headers are not sequenced to match the product they go into on thefinal assembly line in a timely fashion, and so the product can sit in queue waiting for a headerA work cell in a local manufacturer has a workstation with 4 machines that form a line (Machine 1-Machine 2-Machine 3-Machine 4). Each unit needs to pass through each machine in order to be completed. Each machine has a production capacity of four units per hour. What is the process time of the work cell in minutes per unit? 15 4 8 16A company producing a standard line and a deluxe line of dishwashers has the following time requirements (in minutes) in departments where either model can be processed. Standard Deluxe Stamping 3 6 Motor Installation 10 10 Wiring 10 15 The standard models contribute $20 each and the deluxe $30 each to profits. Because the company produces other items that share resources used to make the dishwashers, the stamping machine is available only 30 minutes per hour, on average. The motor installation production line has 60 minutes available each hour. There are two lines for wiring, so the time availability is 90 minutes per hour. Write the formulation for this linear program. What are the optimal daily production quantities of each product and the optimal daily profit?
- T F For a food-processing plant such as Kraft Foods,capacity refers to the number of employeesworking on an assembly lineConsider the following tasks that must be assigned to four workers on a conveyor-paced assembly line (i.e., a machine-paced line flow). Each worker must perform at least one task. There exists unlimited demand unless stated otherwise. Time to Complete Task (seconds): Task 1: 30 Task 2: 25 Task 3: 15 Task 4: 20 Task 5: 15 Task 6: 20 Task 7: 50 Task 8: 15 Task 9: 20 Task 10: 25 Task 11: 15 Task 12: 20 The current conveyor-paced assembly-line configuration assigns the workers in the following way: • Worker 1: Tasks 1, 2, 3 • Worker 2: Tasks 4, 5, 6 • Worker 3: Tasks 7, 8, 9 • Worker 4: Tasks 10, 11, 12 What is the direct labor content (in seconds per unit)?A production line has three stations and the first station can process a unit in 10 minutes. The second station has two identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 12 minutes. The third station can process a unit in 8 minutes. What is the hourly capacity of this production line?
- Abbott Manufacturing produces plastic cases for solar photovoltaic panels and has decided to combine orders from customers to increase work order size, and thereby, make one large production run per model type. Plastic injection molding machines are used to make these parts, and it is time consuming to clean and re-setup the machines between production runs. Each molding machine and operator works one 10-hour shift with a one- hour lunch break and one-half hour for operator breaks.

The firm is struggling to keep up with the high demand for its services, particularly during the busy litigation seasons. It has been observed that the lawyers spend a significant amount of their time on administrative tasks that could potentially be handled by paralegals. After a careful study of the work distribution within the firm, it was determined that 35% of the activities carried out by the lawyers are administrative in nature. Given that each lawyer works 50 hours a week, please determine: (a) How many additional paralegals should the firm hire to handle the administrative tasks currently performed by the lawyers? (b) If the lawyers' time spent on administrative tasks is redirected to billable legal work, by what percentage could the firm potentially increase its billable hours?A new surgical facility called Cut & Sew has opened in the United States.
