Continuous Flow vs. Departmental Manufacturing Mabbut Company has the following departmental manufacturing layout for one of its plants: 5 minutes 10 minutes Wait time - 12 minutes Move and wait time - 20 minutes Cutting Welding Move and wait time - 25 minutes 8 minutes 7 minutes Move and wait time - 18 minutes Polishing Finishing A consulting firm recommended a value stream with the following manufacturing cell: 10 minutes 5 minutes Welding Cutting Polishing Finishing 8 minutes 7 minutes Required: 1. Calculate the total time it takes to produce a batch of 10 units using the traditional departmental manufacturing layout. minutes 2. Using cellular manufacturing, how much time is saved producing the same batch of 10 units? minutes Assuming the cell operates continuously, what is the production rate? units per hour Which process controls this production rate? Welding 3. Assume the processing time of Welding is reduced to 6 minutes, while the times of the other processes stay the same. What is the production rate now? Round your answer to one decimal place. units per hour How long will it take to produce a batch of 10 units if the cell is in a continuous production mode? minutes Continuous Flow vs. Departmental Manufacturing Mabbut Company has the following departmental manufacturing layout for one of its plants: 5 minutes 10 minutes Wait time - 12 minutes Move and wait time - 20 minutes Cutting Welding Move and wait time - 25 minutes 8 minutes 7 minutes Move and wait time - 18 minutes Polishing Finishing A consulting firm recommended a value stream with the following manufacturing cell: 10 minutes 5 minutes Welding Cutting Polishing Finishing 8 minutes 7 minutes Required: 1.
