Question

PA 4-2 Consider a process consisting of... Consider a process consisting of three resources. Assume there exists unlimited demand for the product. Resource 1 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit. Resource 2 has a processing time of 2 minutes per unit. Resource 3 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit. All three resources are staffed by one worker and each worker gets paid $11 per hour Instruction:"Round "cost of direct labor" and "target manpower" to 2 decimal places. Round average labor utilization" percent and "takt time" to 2 decimal places a. What is the cost of direct labor? per unit b. What is the labor content? minutes per unit How much idle time does the worker at resource 3 have per unit? minutes per unit d. What is the average labor utilization? percent Assume the demand rate is 24 units per hour. What is the e. takt time? minutes per unit Assume the demand rate is 24 units per hour. What is the target manpower? minutes per unit

Explanation / Answer

a-Time required to process the resources=12 minutes for a unit. Direct labor cost= 12/60*11=$2.20

b- Labor content =5+2+5=12 minutes

c- Idle time = 5+2-5=2minutes per unit

d-Average labor content= 12/12+2=12/14=85.71%

e-Takt time= 60/24=2.5 minutes

f- Target manpower=12/2.5=4.8
