1. If we assume an average of 22 working days per month in the factory, how
many calculators will need to be produced per day in the factory if the monthly
demand is 8274 units (Choose the closest answer) 8274/22= 376.09

2. What is the Cycle Time that ensures the desired output rate? (Note: NEVER round
up your cycle time!!! You should be able to figure out why this should never be done. Think
about it, what would happen if you rounded up?)Use the number you round down to in all the calculations that follow.

3. What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations? (ALWAYS round up
workstations. Again, from the lecture you should know why.)
4. As you know, you should always round up your theoretical minimum number of
workstations. Nonetheless, the calculated theoretical minimum number of workstations is
not always attainable. Based on your calculation to the previous question, which of the
following seems most plausible?

A. You will be able to create an acceptable assembly line that has
EXACTLY the number of workstations as the calculated theoretical
minimum number.

B. You will be able to create an acceptable assembly line that has a
SMALLER number of workstations than the calculated theoretical
minimum number.

C. Creating an acceptable assembly line that has exactly the theoretical
number of workstations in very UNLIKELY. It is very likely you will
need MORE workstations than the calculated theoretical minimum
number

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e.g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.

The undress company produces a dress that women use to quickly and easily change in public. the company is just over a year old and has been successful through a kickstarter campaign. the undress company has identified a customer segment, but if it wants to reach a larger customer segment market outside of the kickstarter family, what question must it answer?
