I need my homework checked, but Chegg won't let me upload more than one image. Please check my answers and correct any that are wrong. Here's the answers that I have:
Part A
- total time (convert hrs to sec): 8*60*60=28,800 seconds
-cycle time (available time during day / unites require per day)=120
-therefore, the max time for each work station is 120 seconds
Work Station (WS)1: Task A (60 sec)+ Task C (20 sec)=80 seconds (idle: 40)
WS2: Task B (80)=80 sec (idle: 40)
WS3: Task D (50)+ Task F (30)=80 sec (idle 40)
WS4: Task E (90)=90 sec (idle 30)
WS5: Task G (30)+ Task H (60)=90 sec (idle 30)
Part B [Answers]
-work station w the highest total task time dictates the output rate, [so Work Station 4]
- cycle time =[120 seconds]
-capacity utilization ratios CUR: task time/cycle time multiplied by 100
WS1[66.67%]
WS2[66.67%]
WS3[66.67%]
WS4[75%]
WS5[75%]
-Efficiency: sum of task times / # of WS*cycle time *100
Efficiency: 230/600*100=[70%]
5.[Yes]
6.[Work Station 4] is the bottle neck bc it has the longest processing time
7. Inventory will accumulate before WS4 because it has the longest processing time and will slow down the system's flow.
