Problem 2: A company wishes to assign multiple machines to an operator to minimize costs The following times have been collected: Loading machine standard time 034 min Unloading machine standard time Walk time between machines Operator rate Machine rate Power feed time (machining time) 0.26 min 0.09 min $15.00/h S22.00/h 1.56 min - 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Determine the optimal number of machines per operator to minimize unit cost. Create a worker-machine chart. (Suggestion: use Excel or insert a table in Word) What is the % idle time of the worker? Of each machine? What is the unit cost? How many units can be produced per hour with this system?
