Homework Answers
Station 3 is the bottleneck in this specific process as it would be having a queue for processing as it is taking the longest time as compared to the other two stations.

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...

A work cell has four stations, and each unit produced at the cell needs to be processed by all of the stations in series. (The same unit cannot be worked on by four stations simultaneously.) The capacity of each station is (Station #, # of Machines, units per hour), (S1, 1, 4), (S2, 1, 5), (S3, 1, 6), (S4, 1, 8). What is the process time of the work cell in minutes per unit?

A factory manufactures two products, each requiring the use of three machines. The first machine can be used at most 70 hours; the second machine at most 40 hours; and the third machine at most 90 hours. The first product requires 2 hours on machine 1, 1 hour on machine 2, and 1 hour on machine 3; the second product requires 1 hour on machines 1 and 2 and 3 hours on machine 3. The profit is $40 per unit...

Consider a production line with three single-machine stations in series. Each has processing times with mean two hours and standard deviation of two hours. a. Suppose we run this line as a push system and release jobs into it at a rate of 0.45 per hour with arrival variability given by Ca = 1. What is the average WIP in the line? b. Compute the throughput of this line if it is run as a CONWIP line with a WIP...
