3) What is the capacity of the line? 1211 1250 643 356 2) Use the information in Exhibits 7 and 8. What is the run time per unit? Hint include the batch setup time. 50.31 60.92 579 50.98 Guidelines to solve the case: 1) Remember to consider only operations 1 through 7 in Exhibit 7. 2) Run time calculation: You should compute an "adjusted run time" for each operation (1-7) to incorporate the setup time to the run time per unit. For example, for operation 1 (shaping panels), compute: [(80+30+602)/2500]+[1.6+ 0.85+0.352 ]. (Note that the Right/Left panels need to be counted twice, once for each side). In this way, you will allocate the setup time of each batch to all the units in the batch. The idea is to get a "more realistic" run time that also includes the time spent in setting up the equipment. 3) Capacity calculation: When you compute the capacity, keep in mind: 1) the total available labor time in a workstation, and 2) the "adjusted run time" you computed before. For example, for operation 1 you have 1 operator who works 3 shifts (and you also know how many minutes there are in a shift). so you can compute the total available working time in that station-that is, 40.7hrs/ week 60mins/hr3 shifts =7326mins. 4) Finally, you get the capacity of operation 1 by computing: the total available labor time in that station (computed in step \#3) divided by the adjusted run time in that station (computed in step \#2). 5) The bottleneck of the system is the operation with the lowest capacity. 4) What would Sunwind need to change in order to implement JIT? For discussion in class, think about the following questions: What is required for JIT? Does Sunwind have it? What would Sunwind (and Volvo) gain from JIT? Increase batch sizes to lower setup times Hire more employees Implement pull system Increase inventory to avoid stockouts 1) Discuss with your group the situation at Sunwind and the main challenges the company was facing. What was NOT a primary problem faced by Sunwind at the time of the case? Capacity shortage Import quotas Quality problems Competition pressure from Volvo
