Process Analysis Questions:

1. The copy center has a job order that requires 500 pages of white and 200 pages of pink. The copying rate is 25 pages per minute, the overall setup time is 5 minutes, and the color change time is 2 minutes. What is the expected capacity requirement for the copy machine center to do this job?

2. The routing for the job in Problem 1 also calls for stapling and three-hole drilling (in that order). The time standards are 10 minutes and 20 minutes, respectively. If labor cost is charged on the basis of total standard time multiplied by $6 per hour, estimate the cost of this job, including the work in Problem 1.

3. Suppose the copy center only did jobs exactly like this one. What would the cycle time be? Assume that different people work in each of the three work centers. Using a Gantt-like chart, we can see that the time between completed jobs (=cycle time) is 35 minutes.

4. What is the maximum number of such jobs that can be produced in a 40-hour week? What is the labor cost per job?

5. What is the capacity utilization of each of the three work centers when the operating unit works at the maximum rate as determined in problem 4?

6. How would the answers to problems 3 and 4 change if a second copy machine was added, staffed with its own worker? The two copiers operate independently.

7. What is the throughput time for jobs in the above scenario?

8. How would the answers to problems 3 and 4 change if the batch size is doubled (assume copying run time and setup times remain as defined earlier)?

9. If there are 20 jobs on the average in inventory, and the copy center turns out 50 jobs per month, what is the inventory turnover rate?

10. Suppose that in problem 1, 750 sheets of paper were required in order to complete the job. What is the yield? The scrap rate?

11. As a customer, what criteria might you use to evaluate the quality of the copy center's product and service?
