Question

manufactures a mix of affirdable guitars (A B, C) that are fabricated and assembled at four different processing stations (w. x, Y. Z) The operation is a batch process etir Yost-Perry Industries (YPi) th smalil setup times that can be considered negligible. materials (shown as a per-unit consumption rate) are represented by inverted triangles. YPI is able to make and sell up to the full demand. Each workstation is staffed by one highly skilled worker who is and operates on a 5-day work week (l.e. 40 hours of production per person per week), Overhead costs are $9.000 below. Purchased parts and raw The product information (price, weekly demand, and processing times) and process sequences are shown n alone and is paid $15 per hour The plant operates one 8-hour shit per day

Explanation / Answer

Aggregate workload of station W = 9*66+8*96+16*54 = 2226 minutes

Aggregate workload of station X = 10*66+10*54 = 1200 minutes

Aggregate workload of station Y = 17*96+5*54 = 1902 minutes

Aggregate workload of station Z = 11*66+8*96 = 1494 minutes

Bottleneck : Workstation W with a total load time of 2226 minutes
