Question

8. A production line has three workstations. At station 1, there is one machine, which takes 2 minutes to process one unit. The unit then passes to station 2, which has two machines in parallel. The unit must be processed on just one of the machines at station 2, and each machine at station 2 takes 5 minutes to process one unit. The unit then passes to station 3, which has 6 machines in parallel. The unit must be processed on just one of the machines at station 3, and each machine at station 3 takes 18 minutes to process one unit. Which station is the bottleneck? A Station 1 FB. Station 2 C. Station 3 D. Stations 2 and 3 are both bottlenecks

    1. A flexible manufacturing cell consists of two machining workstations plus a load/unload station. The load/unload station is station 1 with one server (human worker). Station 2 consists of one CNC machining center. Station 3 has one CNC drill press. The three stations are connected by a part-handling system that has one work carrier. The mean transport time is 2.0 min. The FMC produces three parts, A, B, and C. The part mix fractions and process routings for the three...

    8.21. Production of a product takes two weeks and requires operations in two workstations with some activities being per- formed in parallel. In the first work center, capacity is based on weight of product processed. This work center is used only the first week of production and each unit of product requires the processing or 2,000 Ibs. of material. Capacity in the second workstation is based on labor hours. Each unit of end product produced requires 0.5 hours in the...

    Briefly describe How we get the Mean transport value? A semi-automated flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) is used to produce three products The products are made by two automated processing stations followed by an assembly station. There is also a load/unload station. Material handling between stations in the FMC is accomplished by mechanized carts that move tote bins containing the particular components to be processed and then assembled into a given product. The carts transfer tote bins between stations. In this...
