1. (a)
Productivity = output/input
For last year:
Labor productivity = 23,000 /10,000 = 2.3
raw material productivity= 23,000/8,000 = 2.875
Total productivity = 23,000 / 10,000+8,000+2,000 = 1.15

For this year:

Labor productivity = 34,000/16,000= 2.125
Raw material productivity = 34,000/10,000 = 3.4
Total productivity = 34,000/16,000+10,000+4,000 = 1.133

(b)
Labor productivity = 57,000/26,000 = 2.192
Raw material productivity = 57,000/18,000 = 3.166
Total productivity = 57,000/26,000+18,000+6,000 = 57,000/50,000 = 1.14

2.
Turnover = 46 times/52 weeks
Flow time = 1.13 weeks does not equal to 2 weeks as claimed.
Therefore, the statements are not consistent.

3.
Flow rate = 30/week
Flow time = 3 weeks
Inventory = flow time * flow rate = 90
Revenue = 90 * 1000 = $ 900,000

4.
(a) T1 = 2min
T2 = 5*0.9 + 30*0.1 = 7.5 min
60/7.5 = 8 = C2
TB1 = 7/55/60 = 7.64min
TB2 = 34/55/60 = 37.09min
T-total = 2+7.5+7.64+37.09 = 54.23min

(b) I = T2 * flow rate = 7.5min * 55/h = 6.875

(c) I’ = T-total * flow rate = 49.71

5.
(a)
I1=R1 * T1 = 20*3 = 60
I2 = 20*10%*1 = 2
I3 = 10
I = 60+2+10 = 72

(b)
I3 = 10 R3 = R1 = 20
T3 = 10/20 = 0.5week

(c)
Revenue1 = 60 * 300 = 18,000
Inventory = 72
Revenue2 = 20 *2*500 = 20,000
Inventory = 20*2+20*10%*1+10 = 52
Increase the rental fee.

6.(a)

(b)Capacity of molding = 5*60/5 = 60unit/hour

Capacity of painting = 8*60/10 = 48unit/hour
Capacity of packing = 4*60/2 = 120unit/hour
Buffers in this situation has no bottleneck.
Therefore, the painting process is the bottelneck.

(c)Capacity = 48 unit/hour
Flow rate = min{ demand, caoacity} = capacity = 48unit/hour

Capacity utilization = flow rate / indicated capacity

Molding = 48/60 = 80%
Painting = 48/48 = 100%
Packing = 48/120=40%

Implied untilization = demand/ real capacity

Molding = 60 /60 =100%
Painting = 60/48 = 125%
Packing = 60/120 = 50%

(d)To consider the capacity/person in one hour:

Molding = 12 painting = 6 packing = 30
Therefore, to make a balance, let person number be n
n(M):n(Paint):n(Pack) = 5 :10:2
17+17 = 34 workers
Molding needed = 34*(5/17) = 10
Painting needed = 34*(10/17) = 20
Packing needed = 34* (2/17) = 4
Bandai should allocate another 5 workers to molding, and another 12 workers to painting.

If 34 are new, total = 34+17=51

Molding = 51*(5/17) = 15
Painting = 51*(10/17) = 30
Packing = 51*(2/17) = 6
Bandai should allocate another 10 workers to molding, and another 22workers to painting,
another 2 workers to packing.

(B) A-C-E-H-I duration time = 22 days

(C) Slack time:

A=0 B=9 C=0 D=1 E=0 F=4 G=1 H=0 I=0

8. (a)
Expected time = (optimistic + 4* most likely + pessimistic) /6
A=3 B=2 C=2 D=3 E=5 F=4 G= 3.83 H=3.83

(b) B-E-G-H duration = 14.66 days

(d) variance = {(pessimistic - optimistic)/6}**2=2.83

Z = 16-14.66/2.93**2/1 = 0.79
P = 1.7852
Therefore, the probability of succeed in this project within 16 days is 78.51%.
