Erba Inc. has the following departmental layout for producing an herbal supplement: 12 minutes 7 minutes Wait time = 14 minutes Move and wait time - 15 minutes Mixing Heating Move and wait time - 30 minutes 6 minutes 5 minutes Move and wait time = 25 minutes Encapsulating Bottling After a detailed study, the head of the plant's industrial engineering department recommended that the following cellular manufacturing layout replace the current departmental structure: 7 minutes 12 minutes Grinding Mixing Encapsulating Bottling 6 minutes 5 minutes Required: 1. Calculate the time required to produce a batch of 12 bottles using a batch processing departmental structure. 114 X minutes 2. Calculate the time to process 12 units using cellular manufacturing. 5 x minutes 3. How much manufacturing time will the cellular manufacturing structure save for a batch of 12 units? Round the answer to nearest cent. 1 109 x minutes per unit 4. How many units can the cell produce per hour, assuming the cell is producing on a continuous basis?. 5 units per hour the processing time for all four processes 5. The minimum unit production time for any process within the cell must be 5 minutes. Thus, ways must be found to reduce to 5 minutes or less. Process and product redesign are possible ways to reduce the times. Continuous Flow vs. Departmental Manufacturing Gumbrecht Company has the following departmental manufacturing layout for one of its plants: 12 minutes 6 minutes Wait time - 10 minutes Move and wait time - 15 minutes Casting Grinding Move and wait time - 25 minutes 10 minutes 2 minutes Move and wait time - 20 minutes Drilling Finishing A consulting firm has recommended a value stream with the following manufacturing cell: 6 minutes 12 minutes Grinding Casting Drilling Finishing 10 minutes 2 minutes Required: 1. Calculate the total time it takes to produce a batch of 20 units using the traditional departmental manufacturing layout. 200 X 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? 3. Assume the processing time of Casting is reduced to 9 minutes, while the times of the other processes stay the same. What is the production rate now? units per hour How long will it take to produce a batch of 20 units if the cell is in a continuous production mode? minutes Erba Inc. has the following departmental layout for producing an herbal supplement: 12 minutes 7 minutes Wait time = 14 minutes Move and wait time - 15 minutes Mixing Heating Move and wait time - 30 minutes 6 minutes 5 minutes Move and wait time = 25 minutes Encapsulating Bottling After a detailed study, the head of the plant's industrial engineering department recommended that the following cellular manufacturing layout replace the current departmental structure: 7 minutes 12 minutes Grinding Mixing Encapsulating Bottling 6 minutes 5 minutes Required: 1.
