Ques 1: Draw a detailed process flow map of the current process at receiving Plant#1. What is the capacity of each operation in the process?
Refer to the power point presentation. 2. What is the maximum long-term achievable throughput rate of receiving Plant 1? What factors affect this throughput rate?
The Truck arrival rate is at 20 Trucks/Hr. This year based on the numbers there is going to be 70% Wet and 30% Dry Berries. Dried Berries: Throughput rate = 30% of 20 Trucks = 6 truck (dried)/hr @ 75 bbls = 450bbls/hr Wet Berries: Current Throughput rate possible = 600 bbls/hr or 8 Trucks/hr (Bottleneck) Since 70% of 20 Trucks implies 14 Trucks/hr, we can expect the maximum long-term…show more content… Keeping the Start time as 11.00 AM for the plant processing, analyzing the situation Time | No of trucks in waiting | waiting in bins | waiting in truck + bins | 7:00 AM | 0 | 14 | 14 | 8 | 0 | 28 | 28 | 9 | 0 | 42 | 42 | 10:00 AM | 0 | 56 | 56 | 11 | 0 | 57 | 57 | 12 | 0 | 58 | 58 | 1 | 0 | 59 | 59 | 2 | 0 | 60 | 60 | 3 | 0 | 61 | 61 | 4 | 0 | 62 | 62 | 5 | 0 | 63 | 63 | 6 | 0 | 64 | 64 | 7:00 PM | 0 | 51 | 51 | 8 | 0 | 38 | 38 | 9 | 0 | 25 | 25 | 10 | 0 | 12 | 12 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2:00 AM | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6:00 AM | 0 | 0 | 0 |
By increasing capacity dollar savings will be (delays previously cost the company): $6624/day *20 days = $132480 In addition they will also save on overtime by working 3 hours less every evening due to increased capacity: 8 workers * 3 hours * 20 days * 1.5 * $2.25( min salary) =$1620 Therefore we get, total savings = $134100 Cost of new equipments = 2*$10000 (dryers) + 10*$2000 = $40000
We get, cost savings for current season = $134100-$40000 = $94100. Therefore, it is recommended for NCC to purchase new dryers and holding bins and go with the same operating times of plant starting at 11.00

than the bendwiark return, the probability that it will not approaches zero asymptotically at a computable exponential decay rate. The probability decay rate is thus proposed here as a nezo portfolio "performance index." In the widely analyzed special case in which returns are normally distributed, the new performancc-indcx-maximizing portfolio is the same as the popular Sharpe-ratio-maximizing portfolio. The results of the tioo approaches generally differ, however, because of nonnormal levels of skezimess…
