The current equipment allows your production line to assemble 1520 widgets per day with a takt time of 4.05 minutes. A vendor is proposing their new equipment which would allow you to assemble 1860 widgets per day. What would the new takt time be? Keep two decimal places in your answer.
Homework Answers
Takt time = Net available time / Demand
Takt time = 4.05 min per widget
Demand = 1520 Widgets
Net available time = Takt time x Demand
= 4.05 x 1520
= 6156 min
After proposing new equipment,
New demand = 1860 widgets
Takt time = Net available time / Demand
= 6156 / 1860
= 3.31 Min per Widget

One item in the proposed new union contract allows workers in a shipping department 17 minutes for rest, 6 minutes for personal time, and 11 minutes for delays for each four hours worked. A time study analyst observed a job that is performed continuously and found an average time of 5.3 minutes per cycle for a worker she rated at 92 percent of the observed time. What standard time is applicable for that operation? (Keep two decimal places in your...

3.) today you took 16 randomly sampled widgets from your new production line (which makes thousands per day) and measured dimension x. You obtained a sample mean of 17.63 mm. You know from how long experience with your production process that the population standard deviation of x is 0.25 mm and the distribution of x is very close to norma. What is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean of x? You may either give a low & high...

Lakeside Inc. is considering replacing old production equipment with state-of-the-art technology that will allow production cost savings of $10,000 per month. The new equipment will have a five-year life and cost $420,000, with an estimated salvage value of $30,000. Lakeside’s cost of capital is 8%. Lakeside Inc. uses a straight-line depreciation method. Required: Calculate the payback period and the accounting rate of return for the new production equipment. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

You manage the quality for the production line of your company's running shoes. A salesperson for an equipment producer is trying to sell you on a new machine designed to cut the insoles for your shoes. Your company specifies that the thickness of the insoles must be 0.250 inches and can not be more than 0.001 of an inch from that specification (either above or below). The salesperson insists that the new machine will outperform your current machine because, through...
