Q1. For each Workstation, calculate the total P/T required in order to produce Inputs for next W/S and the demanded 450 quantity of Finished Goods.

Q1. For each Workstation, calculate the total P/T required in order to produce Inputs for next W/S and the demanded 450 quantity of Finished Goods. (STAMPING; BEND/HEAT; MACH; POLISH; INSPECT/SHIP)

Q2. For each Workstation, calculate the current Availability. (STAMPING; BEND/HEAT; MACH; POLISH; INSPECT/SHIP)

Q3. For each Workstation, calculate the current Performance. (STAMPING; BEND/HEAT; MACH; POLISH; INSPECT/SHIP)

Q4. For each Workstation, calculate the current Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). (STAMPING; BEND/HEAT; MACH; POLISH; INSPECT/SHIP)

Q5. What is the Takt Time to meet Current and Future demand?

Q6. What is the current Production Lead Time for this facility?

Q7. What is the current Process Cycle Efficiency of this facility?

Q8. Under current conditions, is the Raadler facility able to produce the required daily demand of 450 pcs Finished Goods? Explain your reasoning and provide evidence based on your calculations and assumptions.

4. Prepare a short Memo explaining WHAT changes you would make and HOW these improvements are to be implemented. State ALL assumptions clearly and explain / clarify your reasoning. Max 500 words; word-count required. [20pts]

General Information Summary

1. Raadler Co runs 2 consecutive 8-hour shifts; after PFD allowances, total available production time per shift = 6.5h; 22 working days per month; 2 shifts constitute 1 day of production; set-up and cleaning between shifts = 1.0h; customer daily demand is 450 pcs Finished Goods;

2. Transit time from Supplier to Receiving Dock = average of 8 days.

3. Standardized Order Quantity = 1000 pieces (production inputs and related materials to produce units of output);

4. Order Frequency = every 3 weeks, excluding transit time;

5. Time required to receive materials into Inventory and Production = 3h every 6 weeks, from 6am to 12pm; during this time, Production is reduced by approximately 50% as Labour is taken off workstations to deal with Receiving and Recording inventory; this task consumes 1 Worker for the duration;

6. STAMPING - 50 pcs per batch; per pc C/T = 6 sec; C/O (after each 50pcs batch) = 720 sec; 1 Machine / 1 Worker;

7. Queue Time from Receiving to STAMPING = 90 sec per batch;

8. FPY STAMPING = 87%;

9. BENDING / HEAT TREAT = based on FPY units of previous W/S; 50 pcs batch size (ideal); per pc C/T = 165s; C/O (after each 50 pcs batch) = N/A; 2 Machines / 2 Workers; assume 1 pc in each oven concurrently taking 165s.

10. Queue Time from STAMPING to BENDING / HEAT TREAT = 112 sec per batch;

11. FPY BENDING / HEAT TREAT = 78%; Rework occurs at W/S before moving to next W/S;

12. MACHINING = based on FPY of previous W/S, including rework; 50 pcs per batch (ideal); per pc C/T = 75 sec; C/O (after 3 batches) = 840 sec; 1 Machine / 1 Worker;

13. Queue Time from BENDING / HEAT TREAT to MACHINING = 132 sec per batch;

14. FPY MACHINING = 84%; Rework occurs at W/S before moving to next W/S;

15. POLISHING = based on FPY units of previous W/S; 50 pcs batch size (ideal); per pc C/T = 60 sec; C/O (after each 50 pcs batch) = 30 sec; 1 Machine / 1 Worker;

16. Queue Time from MACHINING to POLISHING = 87 sec per batch;

17. FPY POLISHING = 100%;

18. INSPECTION / SHIPPING = 15% randomly selected daily output quantities for INSPECTION; Rejection / Waste = 4-6% (average); 1 Machine / 2 Workers;

19. Transit Time from SHIPPING to Customer = 8 days;

20. C/T = C/T (touch) + C/T (Oven, Equipment); Record Any Additional Assumptions clearly in your work;

Hi, I am going to know the answer and step-by-step calculations for questions 1 to 4.

Thanks
