Question
KELLOGS PRODUCTION CYCLE (see picture 1)Below is the production cycle for Kellogg. They currently produce each type for eight hours.?
COOK RAISIN BRAN - SETUP - COOK FROSTED FLAKES - SETUP (Picture 2)
1. During one production cycle, for how many hours are they NOT making Raisin Bran?
A. 16 B. 8 C. 12 D. 4
2. For how many hours will the Raisin Bran hopper be able to provide cereal to the packaging line?
A. 12.33 B. 13.33 C. 11.33 D. 14.33
3. Suppose they are going to change how long each type of cereal is made during a production cycle (i.e. they will make Raisin Bran for either more or less time than 8 hours). To ensure packaging is not starved, for how long should they make Raisin Bran? Or, in the attached figure, what should X be??
COOK RAISIN BRAN (X hours) - SETUP (4 hours) - COOK FROSTED FLAKES (X hours) - SETUP (4 hours) (Picture 3)
A. 10 B. 14 C. 6 D. 12
4. Suppose they are going to stick with making each type of cereal for eight hours, and instead are going to optimize the setup time. What is the longest the setup time can be without the packaging line being starved?
A. 3.21 hours B. 2.32 hours C. 1.89 hours D. 2.67 hours KELLOGS PRODUCTION CYCLE (see picture 1)

Explanation / Answer
Answer: -
Answer-1: -
The production cycle given: -
Cook Raising Bran (8 hours) - Setup (4 hrs) - Cook Frosted Flakes (8 hours) - Setup (4 hrs).
Each type of product is produced for 8 hours - it is given in question.
Hence, Cook Raising Bran would NOT be prepared for 16 hours (=Setup time + Cook Frosted Flakes hours + Set up time = 4 hrs + 8 hrs + 4 hrs).
Hence, the answer is 16 which is Option-A
Answer-2: -
One Production Cycle will produce 20 tonnes. With 1.5 tonnes processed for in hour, hence it would support 13.33 hours (=20 tonnes / 1.5 hours). Hence, Option-B is correct answer.
Answer-3: -
When the production cycle is 8 hours, the produce is 20 tonnes which support the packaging for 13.33 hours. With increase in production cycle by 10 hours, the produce for one cereal would go to 28 tonnes, this will help Hopper to support 18.66 hour per production cycle. The next production cycle for same cereals would be after 14 hours, hence the hopper will be able to support till next production cycle starts.
Hence, 10 hours would be X in the figure, with this answer is Option-A.
Answer-4: -
The longest time to be optimised for set up time should be 3.21 hours. If set up time is 3.21 hours than next production cycle for the same cereals would start after 11.21 hours (=8+3.21) whereas the Hopper can support packaging for 13.33 hours for 8 hours of production cycle output. With 11.21 hours for next production cycle will start for same cereals means it will have 2 hours (=13.33 - 11.21) more which will contribute to hopper getting more tones for supporting packaging.
Hence answer is 3.21 hours, Option-A
