1. As the assistant manager of a restaurant, how many servers will you need given the following information for Saturday night's dinner menu?

Demand (dinners served) = 100 dinners per hour

Server target utilization = 85 percent

Service rate per server = 16 dinners/hour

2. Research and write short paper (two pages maximum) on organizations that have successfully used the focused factory concept.

3. * Medical Solutions Inc. has the following claims it must complete in the next week. The jobs are as follows:

Consolidated Work Orders	Work Order Quantity	Setup (Changeover) Time per Work Order (Minutes)	Processing Time per Panel (Seconds)
Model XVT-5 Case	9,500 panels	90	2.05
Model UYT-3 Case	7,500	75	1.78
Model KLY-6 Case	10,800	150	4.31

Given process claim capacity of 40 hours of work, can the workload be completed this week? Explain. If not, what short-term capacity solution would you recommend? Show all computations.

4. * 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 the machines and set them up again between production runs. Each molding machine and operator works one 9-hour shift with a one-hour lunch break and one-half hour for operator breaks.

Claim Type	Number of Claims to Process	Setup Time per Claim Type (Hours)	Processing Time per Claim (Hours)
Cancer treatment	18	3	0.9
Spinal injury	12	1	1.6
Hip replacement	9	2	0.7

What is the total workload (demand) in hours for this work order mix? How many machines will it take to do this work in 1, 2, or 3 days? How might this process be improved?
