M8 (CLO-3) A starting batch of 10,000 workparts are processed through three sequential operations: 1 then 2 then 3. Operation 1 sometimes produces parts with an unknowndefect rate. Operation 2 sometimes produces parts with a double defect rate compared to process 1. And operation 3 sometimes produces parts with a double defect ratecompared to process 2. The defacts oocur randomly. If all 10,000 parts are processed through all three operations, if the expected number of units to have al three defects isequal to 10, what is the defect rate for the second process. (write it in the form of, for example, 0.09)

In the realm of manufacturing and production processes, ensuring product quality is paramount. The…

A process makes two products, A and B and operates 5 days per week, 8 hours per day. Demand for the two products for the next week is as follow: Day 1: A: 20 B: 26 Day 2: A: 10 B: 15 Day 3: A: 20 B: 19 Day 4: A: 18 B: 20 Day 5: A: 12 B: 20 What is the takt time of the process?

A catalog order-filling process can be described as follows:12 Telephone orders are taken over a 12-hour period each day. Orders are collected from each person at the end of the day and checked for errors by the supervisor of the phone department, usually the following morning. The supervisor does not send each one-day batch of orders to the data processing department until after 1:00 p.m. In the next step—data processing—orders are invoiced in the one-day batches. Then they are printed and matched back to the original orders. At this point, if the order is from a new customer, it is sent to the person who did the customer verification and setup of new customer accounts. This process must be completed before the order can be invoiced. The next step—order verification and proofreading—occurs after invoicing is completed. The orders, with invoices attached, are given to a person who verifies that all required information is present and correct to permit typesetting. If the verifier has…
A production process at Kenneth Day Manufacturing is shown in the figure below.

A product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel). 7 units/hr 5 units/hr Assembly 0.8 units/hr Sawing Sanding Welding Assembly 2.1 units/hr 0.8 units/hr Drilling 2.5 units/hr Assembly 0.8 units/hr a) is the bottleneck. b) The bottleneck time is minutes per unit (round your response to two decimal places). c) The throughput time of the overall system is minutes (round your response to two decimal places).
You are choosing from between the following four processes, each with a different fixed cost, and variable costs. Process Fixed Variable A 20,000 15 B 10,000 12 C 5,000 10 D 8,000 9.3 Because I can only ask a single quantifiable question, I can't easily ask you to tell me which process is the cheapest from 0 to whatever, and then something else is cheapest for a while, etc. What is the point where D becomes cheaper than C? Round your answer to the closest whole number.

. Aquatica makes underwater camera housings for divers. The process begins with a solid rectangular block of aluminum that is used to make a single housing. A computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine drills into the block to make the metal “frame” of the housing. Each block requires 15 minutes of drilling. The frame is then chemically treated in a series of baths. There is ample capacity in the treating stage. Finally, a worker must manually attach the various buttons and components to the metal housing. This assembly takes 120 minutes per housing per worker and Aquatica has 6 workers trained to do this task. The CNC machine requires a 30-minute setup time before the production of a batch can begin. a. If the CNC machine produces 14 housings between setups, what would be its capacity (in housings per hour)? b. Assuming the process is supply-constrained, what is the utilization (as a number between 0 and 1) of the CNC machine if it operates in batches of 14 housings? c. Assuming…

The Abco Company manufactures electrical assemblies. The current process uses 10 workers and produces 200 units per hour. You are considering changing the process with new assembly methods that increase output to 300 units per hour, but will require 14 workers. Particulars are as follows: CURRENT PROCESS NEW PROCESS OUTPUT (UNITS / HOUR) NUMBER OF WORKERS MATERIAL COST/HOUR 200 300 10 14 $120 $150 Workers are paid at a rate of $10 per hour, and overhead is charged at 140% (or 1.4 times) labor costs. Finished switches sell for $20 / unit. Use the information provided in Table 1.2. What is the multifactor productivity of the current process? A) less than or equal to 8.0 B) greater than 8.0 but less than or equal to 10.0 C) greater than 10.0 but less than or equal to 12.0 D) greater than 12.0 I. Use the information provided in Table 1.2. What is the multifactor productivity of the new process? A) less than or equal to 8.0 B) greater than 8.0 but less than or equal to 10.0 C) greater than…
I already find a. I need help with b Bill's Barbershop has two barbers available to cut customer's hair. Both barbers provide roughly the same experience and skill, but one is just a little bit slower than the other. The process flow below shows that all customers go through steps B1 and B2 and then can be served at either of the two barbers at step B3. The process ends for all customers at step B4. The numbers in parentheses indicate the minutes it takes that activity to process a customer. b. What single activity is the bottleneck for the entire process? B what?
JCL Inc. is a major chip manufacturing firm that sells its products to computer manufacturers like Dell, Gateway, and others. In simplified terms, chip making at JCL Inc. involves three basic operations: depositing, patterning, and etching. • Depositing: Using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, an insulating material is deposited on the wafer surface, forming a thin layer of solid material on the chip. Patterning: Photolithography projects a microscopic circuit pattern on the wafer surface, which has a light-sensitive chemical like the emulsion on photographic film. It is repeated many times as each layer of the chip is built. • Etching: Etching removes selected material from the chip surface to create the device structures. The table below lists the required processing times and setup times at each of the steps. There is unlimited space for buffer inventory between these steps. Assume that the unit of production is a wafer, from which individual chips are cut at a later…
