4. Circuit Board Fabricators, Inc. is a small manufacturer of circuit boards located in California. (Chase, Jacobs, and Aquilano, 2004) Large computer companies such as Apple and Hewlett-Packard hire Circuit Board Fabricators to "make boards for prototypes of new products." (Chase, et al., 2004) The case study suggests that Circuit Board Fabricators has a good business plan established within the organization. CBF has implemented a largely automated process using industry standard codes to produce the four circuit boards that have been developed to be able to give quick and high quality service.

There have been recent losses experienced by CBF, due to the system that is currently in place. The policy has changed and all orders placed now are being increased by 25%. The policy now places stress on the running system. On a highly-productive day, the plant produces 700 circuit boards, but "was designed to run 1,000 boards per day when running five days a week and one eight-hour shift per day." CBF has hired a consultant to discuss the reasons why they are not able t...[b] The theoretical flow time is 50 minutes. The critical path is the one of F1 (process and separate, Activity A, Activity B, Loan Officer).

[c] The flow time efficiency is 50/7*480 = 50/ 3360= 1.49%

[a]. The theoretical flow time of the process is 17 seconds:

For passenger without additional check (80% of passangers), the theoretical flow time is (1.5/18)*60 = 5 seconds

For passengers with additional check the theoretical flow time is 5 +60 = 65 seconds

The theoretical flow time for an average passenger is 80% *5 + 20% * 65 = 17 secondsSome stages in the process can run simultaneously with other stages. For a two dozen order the dishing up stage can be done by both me and my roommate, because at that point in the process my roommate is not working. Also the cooling and packing stages can occur while the other tray is in the oven. In this way the time it takes to complete the entire process can be decreased. Similarly for three or more dozen orders, stages can be arranged to minimise the total time as much as possible.

Time it takes to fill a 2 dozen order = 6 + 2 +10+10+ 5 + 2 + 1 = 36 minutes

5. Three baking trays and one food processor. The food processor used for mixing and the trays used one after the other
