= Suppose the average demand for Proven Special Electric Motors (PSEM) is 30 per day and the three workers in Jake and Dan's PSEM cell work eight hours per day. Then the required

cycle time to meet demand is

1. 14 minutes per unts
2. 15 to minutes per unit
3. 16 min per unit
4. 17 minutes per unit
5. 18 minutes per unit

=. Jake and Dan reduced the average throughput time in the Proven Special Electric Motor

(PSEM) Department through all of the following means EXCEPT:

The waste of operators waiting to use the machine press was eliminated

The waste of operators having to search for missing tools was reduced.

c. Single-piece material handling was implemented.

d. Total work-in-process inventory was reduced

e. The production batch size was increased to 7,

= Jake and Dan's new cellular design increases operator capacity utilization through

a. reducing batch sizes

b. reducing inventories

c. balancing the workload reducing the number of operators

e. locating the machine press at workstation 1
