Workforce Considerations Domini has no constraints on any of his process inputs, but he realizes that it would be very helpful to have an assistant. She taps on her neighbor, Xavier's, door. She knows he is struggling a bit in La-La Land as well. He is grateful for the offer and Domini proposes that he work for her, dividing the work as follows: - Take Order/Receive Payment: The time for taking the order and receiving payment is done per order (not per pizza). - Knead Dough: It is possible to knead dough for up to 3 pizzas at once. - The loading time for any of the steps (for example, loading the oven) is negligible. - There are enough boxes for packing and always enough ingredients on hand to make the dough and for the toppings. For example, for a 1 pizza order, Domini will perform the following Xavier will 1) take the order (1 min), 1) pack the order (2 min), 2) Knead the dough ( 3min ) 2) receive the payment ( 3min ) 3) Shape the dough and add toppings (4 min) Total =2+3=5min Total =1+3+4=8min Q4) Labor Considerations: Order Size = 2 pizzas, 1 worker only 8 points Now orders are coming in that are 2 pizzas at a time. Perform the calculations for this situation for an order size of 2 pizzas with only Domini working. a. Find the bottleneck and calculate the process capacity (in orders/hour) for this situation. b. What is the production cycle time? c. Calculate direct labor content (in minutes), the total idle time (in minutes), and the average labor utilization (\%) for this situation. Q5) Improving the Process 1 pizza: Order Size = 1 pizza, 2 workers, 2 Ovens 10 points Go back to the initial situation where Domini and Xavier are working, but now Domini buys a second oven. Perform the calculations for this situation for this situation for an order size of 1 pizza with 2 workers and a second oven. a. Find the bottleneck and calculate the process capacity (in orders/hour) for this situation. b. What is the production cycle time? c. Calculate direct labor content (in minutes), the total idle time (in minutes), and the average labor utilization (\%) for this situation. d. Construct a Gantt chart for orders of 1 pizza. The chart should show 45 orders in the system. Use this to show your bottleneck is working full time!
