PLEASE HELP SOLVE! GOT ONE MORE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT!!
X) Problem 6 Question Help * Purple Swift manufactures birdhouses in lots of 10. Each birdhouse takes 45 minutes to paint. After 10 birdhouses are painted, the company switches paint color which requires a one hour changeover. Assume that the company should changeover at the very beginning of the process. The company works 8 hours per shift, one shift per day, 225 days peryear. Currently the company has one point booth. What is Purple Swift's paint capacity cushion if it builds 1,800 birdhouses per year? Purple Swift's paint capacity cushion is | |%. (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.)Explanation / Answer
Total capacity time (in hours) available per year = 8 hours per day*225 days = 1,800 hours
Hours required for painting 1,800 birdhouses per year = (1800 birdhouses *45 minutes per birdhouse)/60
= 1,350 hours
No. of changeovers for painting = 1800 birdhouse/10 birdhouse = 180 changeovers. Total duration of changeovers = 180 changeovers*1 hour per changeover = 180 hours
Thus total hours required per year for 1800 birdhouses = 1350+180 = 1,530 hours.
Thus capacity cushion = (total hours – hours used)/total hours *100
= (1800-1530)/1800 *100
= 270/1800*100
= 15.0%
Hence the capacity cushion is 15.0%
