Answer:

  83.6%

Explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

On its current schedule, the plant can theoretically produce ...

  (30 pc/h/machine)(10 machine)(8 h/shift)(2 shift/day)(5 day/wk)(50 wk/yr)

  = (30)(10)(8)(2)(5)(50) pc/yr = 1,200,000 pc/yr

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

On the proposed schedule, this production becomes ...

  (30 pc/mach)(10 mach)(8 h/sh)(3 sh/da)(6 da/wk)(51 wk/yr)

  = (30)(10)(8)(3)(6)(51) pc/yr = 2,203,200 pc/yr

The increase in capacity is ...

  (2,203,200/1,200,000 -1) × 100% = 83.6% . . . capacity increase

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The number of parts per shift did not change. Only the number of shifts per year changed. It went up by a factor of (3/2)(6/5)(51/50) = 1.836. Hence the 83.6% increase in capacity.

We have to assume that maintenance and repair are done as effectvely as before in the reduced down time that each machine has.

1. Consider a city of 10 square kilometers. A macro cellular system design divides the city up into square cells of 1 square kil
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a) n = 1000\,users, b)\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h, \Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h, \Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h, c) n = 10000000\,users, \Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h, \Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h, \Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h

Explanation:

a) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

n = \frac{10\,km^{2}}{1\,\frac{km^{2}}{cell} }\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )

n = 1000\,users

b) The length of the side of each cell is:

l = \sqrt{1\,km^{2}}

l = 1\,km

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h

c) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

n = \frac{10\times 10^{6}\,m^{2}}{100\,m^{2}}\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )

n = 10000000\,users

The length of each side of the cell is:

l = \sqrt{100\,m^{2}}

l = 10\,m

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{0.01\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h

Analyse what effect the building of an airport may have on the decision of how to use an area of land nearby. (6)​
Sonja [21]
An effect might be a customer not wanting to buy it specifically because it’s by an airport, or maybe the customer wants to buy it because it’s right next to the airport, and a lot of people go to the airport so therefore they might go to the building next to the airport.
