The sequential process steps start with Andy grilling the beef patties.The grill can cook 6 beef patties at the same time.Beef patties take 1.5 minutes to cook and 1.5 minutes to sear to perfection (additional patties cannnot be started until searing is complete).- Andy places the cooked patties on the shelf for easy access to assembly. Note: two patties are required for each burger.- Assembly of the burger starts with Betty who takes the bottom bun, places a beef patty, salt and cheese on top of it and gives it to Charlie, all within 20 seconds.- Charlie places lettuce, sauce and onions on the burger in 15 seconds and passes it to Daisy.- Daisy puts the middle bun and second beef patty, salt and cheese on; this takes another 15 seconds- Eleanor then adds lettuce, sauce, pickles for the second layer and then adds the sesame seed top bun. Eleanor step takes 12 seconds and she passes the burger to Frank..- Frank wraps the burger and places it in the chute in 6 seconds to be served to customers. Process steps can not start until the previous step has been completed.1.a What is the capacity of Andy's grill step in burgers/min? 1bWhat is the capacity of Betty's assembly step in burgers/min? 1cWhat is the capacity of Charlie's assembly step in burgers/min?1dWhat is the capacity of Daisy's assembly step in burgers/min?1eWhat is the capacity of Eleanor's assembly step in burgers/min?1f What is the capacity of Frank's wrapping step in burgers/min?

Explanation / Answer

1.a

Capacity of Cook = 6/3 = 2 patties/min.

2 patties are required for each burger. Hence, Capacity of Andy's grill = 2 patties/min = 1 burger/min

1.b

Capacity of Betty's assembly = 1/(20/60) = 3 burgers/min

1.c

Capacity of Charlie's assembly = 1/(15/60) = 4 burgers/min

1.d

Capacity of Daisy's assembly = 1/(15/60) = 4 burgers/min

1.e

Capacity of Eleanor's assembly = 1/(12/60) = 5 burgers/min

1.f

Capacity of Frank's wrapping = 1/(6/60) = 10 burgers/min
