12 Tasks to 4 Workers Consider the following tasks that must be assigned to four workers on a conveyor-paced assembly line (i.e., a machine-paced line flow). Each worker must perform at least one task. There exists unlimited demand unless stated otherwise. Time to Complete Task (seconds): Task 1: 30 Task 2: 25 Task 3: 15 Task 4: 20 Task 5: 15 Task 6: 20 Task 7: 50 Task 8: 15 Task 9: 20 Task 10: 25 Task 11: 15 Task 12: 20 The current conveyor-paced assembly-line configuration assigns the workers in the following way: • Worker 1: Tasks 1, 2, 3 • Worker 2: Tasks 4, 5, 6 • Worker 3: Tasks 7, 8, 9 • Worker 4: Tasks 10, 11, 12 A)What is the capacity of the current line (in units per hour)? B)What is the direct labor content (in seconds per unit)? C) Assume a demand rate of 20 units per minute. What would be the takt time of the process (in seconds per unit)? D)Assume a demand rate of 20 units per minute. What would be the target manpower?

Please do whole question with all parts done correctly Farmer John sells fruit and vegetables at a farmer’s market in the middle of a city. He is bringing tomatoes to the city for this weekend’s farmer’s market. The tomatoes are very ripe and, therefore, he will need to sell the tomatoes at the farmer’s market and then have to discard any that were not sold. However, there is a cost to the farmer to bring tomatoes into the city for the farmer’s market. In particular, it costs the farmer $1.75 per case of tomatoes to prepare them and bring them to the market. Farmer John can sell each case for $4.5. Farmer John estimates that he will be able to sell 12, 13, 14, or 15 cases of tomatoes at the farmer’s market. Based on historical sales, he believes that the probabilities of being able to sell 12, 13, 14, and 15 cases are 0.1, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.2, respectively.

CASE: AmazonIn a visit to an Amazon distribution center, a group of business students and their professors met with the general manager. After taking them on an extensive tour of the five-acre facility, the general manager commented on the slowness of the visitors’ walking pace. He described the Amazon Pace, a fast, aggressive walk, and confirmed that the average employee walks eight or nine miles during a shift. These employees are called “pickers,” and their task is to fill an order and deliver it to the processing and packing center as quickly as possible. The design of the center is a trade secret that results in a random distribution of products. Therefore, the picker has to cover a number of directions and distances while filling an order. Those who cannot keep up the pace are usually let go, just as would be those who steal.Critical Thinking• Does the requirement to walk an average of eight or nine miles at a fast pace every day strike you as a reasonable expectation for…

Employees Layoffs at the University Medical Center The University Medical Center is medium-sized, 300-bed capacity hospital at Dasmarinas Cavites. The facilities have grown gradually over the years and are now the 2nd largest in the town of Dasmarinas. It is entirely nonunion and has never experienced an employee layoff since its inception. Sister Veronica Cornista, the Chief Executive Officer of the hospital for 8 years presented a rather bleak financial of the BOD. This according to her is the result of the declining occupancy rate which has affected the hospital’s revenues to such an extent that it ran a deficit for the first time last 1998. Such declines have not been unusual for this industry because of increasing competition. So far, the only response to these changes has been tightening of requirements for equipment or supply purchases. The projected deficit for the coming year is around 1,300,000 unless some additional revenues were identified or some additional savings…
