Thank you.

Process Diagram for a Five-Task Line Consider a five-task process, with five manual tasks to be performed before the product is completed as diagrammed below: The task times, shown in minutes, are the times that it takes one worker to perform that task for one unit of product. This line is staffed with six workers, two of whom are assigned to workstation D. Assume that each of the tasks (tasks A through E) are never split among multiple workers. Thus, the two workers doing task d work on individual units, each doing all of task D on the particular unit on which he or she is working. Assume that there is ample equipment so that all workers can perfornm their tasks. Question 8 3 pts Refer to the Process Diagram for a Five-Task Line. What is this line's capacity in an eight-hour day? O 80 units 53 units O None of the answers are correct O 40 units O 32 units

Explanation / Answer

As per policy only first set of questions will be answered

Question 8. Task D takes the longest processesing time of 15 mins, but it was two workers with seperate units and hence the throughput rate is doubled.

Task C with the next highest processing time of 12 mins and 1 worker has the lowest throughput rate of 5 units per hour (60/12)

Hence this will govern the capacity of the process

Therefore, the process can produce 5*8 = 40 units in a day

Question 9 - Total number of workers = 6

Total labor cost for 8 hours = 6* 8*10 = $480

Material cost of 40 units = 40*15 = $600

Revenue of 40 units = 40*36 = $1440

Therefore, total contribution = $1440 - $600 - $480 = 360

Hence, contribution per unit = 360/40 = $9
