Continuous Flow vs. Departmental Flow Manufacturing Anderson Company has the following departmental manufacturing structure for one of its products: 7.5 minutes 15 minutes Wait time 15 min. Move and wait time 18 min Molding Welding Move and wait time 22.5 min. 12 minutes 7 minutes Move and wait time 19.5 min Polishing Assembly After some study, the production manager of Anderson recommended the following revised cellular manufacturing approach: 15 minutes 7.5 minutes Welding Molding Polishing Assembly 12 minutes 10.5 minutes Required: 1. Calculate the total time it takes to produce a batch of 20 units using Anderson's traditional departmental structure minutes 2. Using cellular manufacturing, how much time is saved producing the same batch of 20 units? minutes Assuming the cell operates continuously, what is the production rate? units per hour Which process controls this production rate? -Select your answer- 3. What if the processing times of molding, welding, and assembly are all reduced to six minutes each? What is the production rate now? units per hour How long will it take to produce a batch of 20 units? minutes Continuous Flow vs. Departmental Flow Manufacturing Anderson Company has the following departmental manufacturing structure for one of its products: 7.5 minutes 15 minutes Wait time 15 min.
