A process includes 9 tasks and there are 3 workers. Each task can be assigned to only one worker and each worker must be assigned consecutive tasks.
The time to complete tasks 1 to 9( in seconds) are as follows: 45 55 15 25 50 5 30 95 50
What is the capacity of this process in units per hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

24.8 per hour

Explanation:

There are 3 workers and hence are three workstations. Consecutive activities are assigned to each workstation such that workload is as uniform as possible

Hence the time in each workstation (WS) is,  

WS1 = 45+55+15 = 115 seconds

WS2 = 25+50+5+30 = 110 seconds

WS3 = 95+50 = 145 seconds

Workstation 3 has the highest processing time and hence is the bottleneck and determines the capacity of the process

Therefore capacity = 1/145 per second = 3600/145 per hour = 24.8 per hour

There are 3 workers and hence are three workstations. Consecutive activities are assigned to each workstation such that workload is as uniform as possible

Hence, the time in each workstation (WS) is,

WS1 = 45+55+15 = 115 seconds

WS2 = 25+50+5+30 = 110 seconds

WS3 = 95+50 = 145 seconds

Workstation 3 has the highest processing time and hence is the bottleneck and determines the capacity of the process,

Therefore, capacity = 1/145 per second = 3600/145 per hour

= 24.8 per hour

What is capacity?

The capacity is the ability to contain or deal with something. It describes your ability to do something or the amount something can hold.

If your bird cage is at full capacity, you can't stuff one more feathered friend in there without causing birdie claustrophobia.

Thus, the capacity of this process in units per hour is 24.8 per hour
