Question

Sound Tek Inc. manufactures electronic stereo equipment. The manufacturing process includes printed circuit (PC) board assembly, final assembly, testing, and shipping. In the PC boand assembly operation, a number。individuals are esponsible for assenting electronic components into pn te i ut boards. Each operator s es ons le r so den g e net erdg to a given set of instructions. Operators work on batches of s0 printed dircuit boards. Each board requires 4 minutes of board assembly time. After each batch is compieted, the operator moves the assembled boards to the final assembly area. This move takes 9 minutes to complete. The final assembly for each stereo unit requires 18 minutes and is aiso done in batches of S0 units.A batch of S0 stereos is moved into the test building, which is across the street. The move takes 20 minutes. Before conducting the test, the test equipment must be set up for the particular stereo model. The test setup requires 30 minutes. The units wait while the setup is In the final test, the S0-unit betch is tested one at a time. Esch test requires 6 minutes. The completed batch, after all testing, is sent to shipping for packaging A complete batch of 50 units is sent from testing to shipping. The Shipping Department is located next to testing. Thus, there is no move time between these two operations. Packaging and labeling requires 11 minutes per unit L. Determine the amount of value-added and non-value-added lead time and the value-added ratio in this process for an average stereo unit in a batch of S0 units. Categorize the non-value added time into wait and move time. Round the percentage to one decimal place Value-added lead time Non-value-added leed time Wait time lead time Move time lead time Total non-value-added lead time Total lead time Value-added ratio (as a percent) 2. Move time in this process could best be reduced by Value-added ratio (as a percent) 2. Move time in this process could best be reduced by: a. Doing nothing. b. Changing the layout from a process orientation to a product orientation. c. Increasing batch sizes d. Eliminating the testing step. e. Hiring more workers.
