A manufacturing firm produces a single product using three different production lines. Each line has a different set of equipment because the age of cach line differs. They are considering changing the layout of the equipment to inerease output. First they take a sample of the amount of output produced under each line and each layout as show. Run a two way anova (Hint: you have to put in the data yourself in the proper format Line1 Line2 Line3 Layout1...
A manufacturing firm produces a single product using three different production lines. Each line has different set of equipment because the age of each line differs.

A company produces a single product on three production lines that use different equipment. The production manager is considering changing the layouts of the lines and would like to know what effects different layouts would have on production output. Suppose that the manager measured the average output for each line over three randomly selected weeks using each of the three layouts under consideration. The output​ (in hundreds of units​ produced) was measured for each line for each of the four...
A computer manufacturer has production lines that utilize three different assembly methods. These methods differ in the order in which tasks are performed and the consequent layout of the production lines. QC randomly observes 30 computers assembled under each of the three methods and records the assembly times. The resulting data set is the proj2-1.txt file on BlackBoard. Use ANOVA to test the null hypothesis that all the three methods have the same assembly speed. Method 1' 'Method 2' 'Method...
7. A Manufacturing group mass produces one product. It has 10 manufacturing locations and the manager of each location only reports the average quantity made per location each week. There are 9 production lines per location and each average reported is made up of one individual data point per production line. The Corporate Operations Manager claims to have made improvements that increased output. The historical corporate-wide output reported per line is 10,510 units with a standard deviation of 450 units....

Wenton Powersports produces dune buggies. They have three assembly lines, "Razor," "Blazer," and "Tracer," named after the particular dune buggy models produced on those lines. Each assembly line was originally designed using the same target production rate. However, over the years, various changes have been made to the lines. Accordingly, management wishes to determine whether the assembly lines are still operating at the same average hourly production rate. Production data (in dune buggies/hour) for the last eight hours are as...
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...
