In the context of baking cupcakes for sale later, which activities are setups?

Chapter Seven

Setup Time

Setup – a series of activities (i) that are required to produce units but (ii) for which the

time to complete these activities does not depend directly on the number of units

produced.

Changeover time – a setup time to change production from one type of product to

another.

Switchover time – can be used in same context with changeover time. It is the time

needed to change over, or switch, production from one type of part to the other.

oSetup times are not a problem for a resource that needs only one setup.

Capacity of a Process with Setups

An ideal process operates at a fast and consistent pace. Unfortunately, not all resources

can work that way. When a process has a setup time, it isn’t simple to predict the capacity

of a resource.

Batches and the Production Cycle

Production cycle – a repeating sequence of produced units that can include setup time,

production time, and idle time.

Batch – a collection of units.

Batch Process – a type of production in which units are produced in batches.

Capacity of the Setup Resource

Capacity and Flow Rate

Capacity depends on batch size.

Capacity of assembly is fixed.

Capacity of a process equals the capacity of the bottleneck.

oThe bottleneck is the resource with the smallest capacity.

A production _____ is a repeating sequence of produced units.

cycle

Heijunka refers to producing as close as possible to the true rate of _____.

demand

Average inventory is half of maximum inventory when inventory follows a ___________ pattern.

saw-toothed

At a step with a setup, inventory accumulates when when that step is in _______.

production

Consider a two-step process where the first step produces at a rate of 2 units per minute for the first 30 minutes of an hour and then goes into setup for the second 30 minutes of an hour. The second step produces at a rate of 1 unit per minute for the entire hour. Assuming the beginning inventory in a buffer before step 2 is zero, the highest level of inventory in that buffer during the hour will be _______.

30 units

As the processing time increases at a step with a setup, the utilization _______.

increases

As the flow rate at a step with a setup decreases, the utilization _____.

decreases

True or False: The bottleneck step in a process can change depending upon the batch size set at a step with a setup.

True

(The batch size at a step with a setup dictates its capacity. Too small a batch size can make a step with a setup the bottleneck)

A production cycle is a _______ sequence of produced flow units.

repeating

To produce 10,000 copies of a 300 page book with Gutenberg's printing press technology WITHOUT performing any setups would require how many presses?

300

Consider a two-step process where the first step produces at a rate of 2 units per minute for the first 30 minutes of an hour and then goes into setup for the second 30 minutes of an hour. The second step produces at a rate of 1 unit per minute for the entire hour. Assuming the beginning inventory in a buffer before step 2 is zero, after one hour the inventory in that buffer will be ______.

0 units

What term is used to describe a repeated sequence of production activities?

Mass production is also referred to as flow production, repetitive flow production, series production, or serial production. In mass production, mechanization is used to achieve high volume, detailed organization of material flow, careful control of quality standards, and division of labor.

What is the simplest way to calculate flow time for a customer in a store or patient in a hospital?

To calculate the flow time of the customers, subtract the customers departure time from his or her arrival time. 159 total minutes divided by 10 customers = 15.9 minutes.

What are the key questions the manager of a process should ask?

What are the 2 key questions the manager of a process should ask? How can we make the process better? Is the process performing well?

Which is an appropriate unit for a flow rate?

The SI unit for flow rate is m 3 /s m 3 /s , but a number of other units for Q Q are in common use. For example, the heart of a resting adult pumps blood at a rate of 5.00 liters per minute (L/min).
