CASE 3: “Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope”LINE A:-Precedence Diagram[pic 1]The total time requires to complete the entire process is 480s. With a cycle time of 60s, we need a minimum of 8 workers to complete the task. But considering the time breakup among different tasks and their precedence it is not possible to complete the process even with 8 workers in a straight assembly line. A minimum of 9 workers are necessary to complete the process but we are allowed to hire only one more worker as per Shantha’s instructions. So for a straight assembly line, we consider 1h 10mins overtime for each worker since line A doesn’t have increased rejection rate with overtime. In this, the cycle time comes out to be 70s. This allows us to complete the entire process with just 7 workers.TABLE showing Organization of Line B with Time:12345672 (50)1 (30)4 (50)9 (10)8 (20)12 (30)14 (50)5(20)3 (40)6 (10)10 (40)13 (50)16 (40)15 (10)–7 (10)11 (20)—(70)(70)(70)(70)(70)(70)(60)                                                                  Line A with U Table[pic 2]For assembly line A, if Sane wants to go with U table, then he needs 1 more worker and he can achieve the increased production with 8 workers without overtime.CASE 2: Executive Shirt Company Inc.Case Analysis and Recommendation: Current Process Mikes PlanIkes PlanRegular ShirtsRegular & Custom ShirtsRegular ShitsCustom ShirtsActual Cycle Time0.60.5330.6754.8Manufacturing Lead Time (days)14.72.211.3250.5WIP Inventory (shirts)117601980906050Production Capacity (shirts/day)960960810123Capacity Utilization83.33%93.75%98.76%81.30%Direct Labour Content (min/shirt)26.5126.4526.5126.01Direct Labour Utilization69.03%76.29%90.17%33.86%Direct Labour Cost ($/Shirt)3.843.473.497.68In Ike’s plan we are considering an overtime of 1hr in regular shirt production to meet the production demand of 800 shirts per day. Current Process Mikes PlanIkes PlanRegular ShirtsRegular ShitsCustom ShirtsRegular ShitsCustom ShirtsRaw Materials$7.00$7.00$7.70$7.00$7.70Direct Labour Cost$4.50$3.47$3.47$3.49$7.68Indirect Labour Cost$0.66$0.66$0.66$0.66$0.66Other Indirect Costs$4.50$4.50$4.50$4.50$4.50Total Manufacturing Cost$16.00$15.63$16.33$15.65$20.54Retail Price$50.00$50.00$70.00$50.00$70.00Profit$34.00$34.37$53.67$34.35$49.46
