Splash Infuse Reheat(10min) Melting Mold
Mixing(10min) (10min) Transfer(1min)
Melt Vibranium (14
min)

Final Cooling(8min)
Touchup(12min)

Process B:

S-Melt(12min)
B1(6min)
CBM(24min) Mold
L-Boil(12min) Transfer(1min)

Cleaning at Refiltering
MDS (16min) (1min)
Cooling(8min)
B2 Final
Touchup(12min)

Answer:2:

Through put time for process A = 15+10+10+8+8+12+1= 64 mins

Through put time for process B = 12+17+24+8+12+4= 77 mins

If Shuri runs the plant for 8 hrs/day and 5 days/week, therefore, number of production hours in
hand

Total productions hours = 8*5 = 40 hrs= 2400 mins.

Total nu. of batches of knee caps made by process A = 2400/64 = 37.5= 38(approximately)

Total nu. of batches of knee caps made by process B = 2400/77= 31.16= 31(approximately)

Total nu. of batches produced = 31+38=69 batches.

Answer:3:

If the SIM machine is under maintenance, therefore, process B is the sole load bearer for the plant.

All the orders will be processed using process B.

Assuming a constant flow from one station to another (ie. Whenever a station gets free the next
product in line is put into production)

For product coming in at 9:18AM:

Wait Time (WT)= 0

Throughput Time (TPT)= 77 mins

Flow Time (FT) = WT + TPT = 77 mins.

For product coming in at 9:20AM:

Wait Time (WT)= 75+77= 152 mins

Throughput Time (TPT)= 77 mins

Flow Time (FT) = WT + TPT = 229 mins.

For product coming in at 9:52AM:

Wait Time (WT)= 152-32+77= 197 mins

Throughput Time (TPT)= 77 mins

Flow Time (FT) = WT + TPT = 274 mins.

For product coming in at 10:03AM:

Wait Time (WT)= 274-11= 263 mins

Throughput Time (TPT)= 77 mins

Flow Time (FT) = WT + TPT = 340 mins.

If product comes at 10:15 AM:

Wait Time (WT)= 340-12= 328 mins

Throughput Time (TPT)= 77 mins

Flow Time (FT) = WT + TPT = 398 mins= 6hrs 38 min

Hence, it will be delievered by= 4:53 PM

ANSWER:4:

If for process A cooldown time is halved. Hence time taken for cooling is 4 mins.

Also, if final touch up time is halved. Hence, that time in touchups is 6 mins.

Therefore, throughput time of the process = 64-10=54 mins.

Hence, the first order can be delivered after 54 mins of order, if delivered as soon as possible.

ANSWER:5:

Statement A is FALSE.

Statement B is TRUE.

ANSWER:6:

If the plant is starting production at another location, it should take system A there for the following
reasons:

 Less throughput time.

 Less processes going on in parallel.
 Smaller bottleneck.
