4. An
order for 100 of a product is processed on operations A and operations B. the
setup time on A
is 50
minutes, and the run time per piece is 9 minutes. The setup time on B is 30
minutes, and the
run
time is 6 minutes per piece. It takes 20 minutes to move a lot between A and B.
since this is a
rush
order, it is given top priority (president’s edict) and is run as soon as it
arrives at either
workstation.
It is
decided to overlap the two operations and to split the lot of 100 into two lots
of 60 and 40.
When
the first lot is finished on operation A, it is moved to operation B where it
is set up and run.
Meanwhile,
operation A completes the balance of the 100 units (40) and sends the units
over to
operation
B. These 40 units should arrive as operation B is completing the first batch of
60; thus,
operation
B can continue without interruption until all 100 are completed.
a.
Calculate the total manufacturing lead time for operation A and for B without
overlapping.
b.
Calculate the manufacturing lead time if the operations are overlapped. How
much time is
saved?
