Question #5 (1 point) A firm has redesigned its production process so that it now takes 10 hours for a unit to be made. Using the old process, it took 15 hours to make a unit. If the process makes one unit each hour on average and each unit is worth $1,500, what is the reduction in work-in-process value? Question 6: The desired daily output for an assembly line is 360 units. This assembly line will operate 450 minutes per day. The following table contains information on this product’s task times and precedence relationships: Part (a): Draw the precedence diagram (1 point) Part (b): What is the workstation cycle time? (1 point) Part (c): Balance this line using the largest number of following tasks. Use the longest task time as a secondary criterion. (1 point) Part (d): What is the efficiency of your line balance? (1 point)

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used workers who together produced an average of 60 carts per hour. Workers receive $12 per hour and machine cost was $30 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour while output increased by 10 carts per hour. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Compute the multifactor productivity under each system. Use carts per dollar cost (labor plus equipment) as the measure. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
