Abrasives Corp. manufactures industrial diamonds for use in the cutting, machining and drilling industries. They produce the highest quality diamonds in the industry, and can sell any amount they can produce for $5 per carat. Abrasive Corp runs 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Abrasive Corp.’s production process has six steps:
What is the capacity of Core Manufacturing (in carats per hour)?
What is the capacity of Ceramic Tube Manufacturing (in carats per hour)?
What is the capacity of Cell assembly (in carats per hour)?
What is the capacity of Pressing (in carats per hour)?
What is the capacity of Separation (in carats per hour)?
Answer:
Formula for capacity is given as:
Capacity = operating hours x operating rate x the number of machine
Capacity of Core Manufacturing (in carats per hour) = 1 x 14 x 2 = 28 carats per hour
Capacity of Ceramic Tube Manufacturing (in carats per hour) = 1 x 16 x 3 = 48 carats per hour
Capacity of Cell assembly (in carats per hour) = 1 x 4 x 20 x 2 x 3 x 2 = 960 carats per hour
Capacity of cell assembly includes the capacity of Ceramic End Cap Manufacturing and hence, it is taken as (4 x 20) and cell assemble has two end caps taking 3 minutes by 2 person, therefore, their capacity is taken as (2 x 3 x 2)
Capacity of Pressing (in carats per hour) = 1 x 50 x 22 = 1100 carats per hour
Capacity of Separation (in carats per hour) = 3600 x 100 x 2 / 55 = 13091 carats per second = 13091/3600 = 3.63 carats per hour
