Determine the number of machines to be assigned to an
operator.
The setup time is 2.5 mins and the run time is 6 mins. Machine can
run automatically without supervision.
Assume walking time is negligible between the machines.
Operator rate is $20/hour and machine rate is $50/hour. Draw the
multiple activity chart and show the two appropriate combinations
of the assignment.
Use the formula done in class to determine the two appropriate
combinations of machines per operator. Formula is n=(l+m)/(l) . n
is number of machines, l is operator total loading and unloading
time, and m is total machine running time.

Bob Thomason produces theorems using hours of labor and Big Machines. In the short run, his labor is a variable factor but the number of Big Machines is fixed. When he works for L hours using M Big Machines, Bob can produce L-M theorems. There are only 3 Big Machines in the world, and they can only be rented in whole number quantities (you can.not employ 1/2 of a Big. Machine). Bob's time is worth $1 per hour, and it...

Operations Management
In the molding shop, there are 11 machines capable of molding the one part done in-house, but historically one machine is always being maintained or repaired at any given time. Each machine requires a full-time operator who earns an hourly wage of $15, though only 50 minutes of a molding operator's typical hour is occupied with the tasks of loading, unloading, actively monitoring, and adjusting the machine. The machines can each produce 25 parts per hour. The workers will work...

The Europa Company has a large warehouse in Florida to store its inventory of goods until they are needed by the company’s many furniture stores in that area. A single crew with four members is used to unload and/or load each truck that arrives at the loading dock of the warehouse. Management currently is downsizing to cut costs, so a decision needs to be made about the future size of this crew. Trucks arrive randomly at the loading dock at...
