The analyst in the Dorben Company wishes to assign a number of similar facilities to an operator, based on minimizing the cost per unit of output. A detailed study of the facilities reveals the following: Loading machine standard time = 0.34 min Unloading machine standard time = 0.26 min Walk time between two machines = 0.06 min Operator rate = 12 $/hr Machine rate (both idle and working) = 18 $/hr Power feed time = 1.48 min How many of these machines should be assigned to each operator?
