A production line has two machines, Machine A and Machine B, that are arranged in series. Each jol needs to processed by Machine

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

a. Utilization of machine A = 0.8

Utilization of machine B = $\frac{2}{9}$

b. Throughput of the production system:

$E_S = \frac{E_A+E_B}{2} = \frac{20+\frac{18}{7} }{2}=(\frac{1}{2}*20 )+ (\frac{1}{2}*\frac{18}{7} )= 10+\frac{9}{7}= \frac{79}{7} mins$

c. Average waiting time at machine A = 16 mins

d. Long run average number of jobs for the entire production line = 3.375 jobs

e. Throughput of the production system when inter arrival time is 1 = $\frac{5}{6} mins$

Step-by-step explanation:

Machines A and B in the production line are arranged in series

Processing times for machines A and B are calculated thus;

$M_A = \frac{1}{4}/min$

$M_B = \frac{1}{2} /min$

Inter arrival time is given as 5 mins

$\beta _A = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2/min$

since the processing time for machine B adds up the processing time for machine A and the inter arrival time,

Inter arrival time for machine B,

$5+4 = 9mins\\\beta _B = \frac{1}{9} /min$

a. Utilization can be defined as the proportion of time when a machine is in use, and is given by the formula $\frac{\beta }{M}$

Therefore the utilization of machine A is,

$P_A = \frac{\beta_A }{M_A}=\frac{0.2}{\frac{1}{4} }= 0.8$

And utilization of machine B is,

$P_B = \frac{\beta_B }{M_B} = \frac{\frac{1}{9} }{\frac{1}{2} }= \frac{2}{9}$

b. Throughput can be defined as the number of jobs performed in a system per unit time.

Throughput of machines A and B,

$E_A = \frac{\frac{1}{M_A} }{1-P_A}= \frac{4}{1-0.8} = \frac{4}{0.2}= 20 mins\\ E_B = \frac{\frac{1}{M_B} }{1-P_B}= \frac{2}{1-\frac{2}{9} } = \frac{18}{7}mins$

Throughput of the production system is therefore the mean throughput,

$E_S = \frac{E_A+E_B}{2} = \frac{20+\frac{18}{7} }{2}=(\frac{1}{2}*20 )+ (\frac{1}{2}*\frac{18}{7} )= 10+\frac{9}{7}= \frac{79}{7} mins$

c. Average waiting time according to Little's law is defined as the average queue length divided by the average arrival rate

Average queue length, $L_q = \frac{P_A^2}{1-P_A} = \frac{0.8^2}{1-0.8}=\frac{0.64}{0.2}= 3.2$

Average waiting time = $\frac{3.2}{\frac{1}{5} }= 3.2*5=16mins$

d. Since the average production time per job is 30 mins;

Probability when machine A completes in 30 mins,

$P(A = 30)= e^{-M_A(1-P_A)30 }= e^{-\frac{1}{4}(1-0.8)30 }=0.225$

And probability when machine B completes in 30 mins,

$P(B = 30)= e^{-M_B(1-P_B)30 }= e^{-0.5(1-\frac{2}{9} )30 }=e^{-\frac{15*7}{9} }=e^{-11.6}$

The long run average number of jobs in the entire production line can be found thus;

$P(S = 30)=(\frac{ {P_A}+{P_B}}{2})*30 = (\frac{ 0.225}+{0}}{2})*30= 0.1125*30\\=3.375jobs$

e. If the mean inter arrival time is changed to 1 minute

$\beta _A= \frac{1}{1}= 1/min\\\beta _B= \frac{1}{6}/min\\ M_A = \frac{1}{4}min\\ M_B = \frac{1}{2} min$

Utilization of machine A, $P_A = \frac{\beta_A }{M_A} = 4$

Utilization of machine B, $P_B = \frac{\beta_B}{M_B} = \frac{1}{3}$

Throughput;

$E_A = \frac{\frac{1}{M_A} }{1-P_A} = \frac{4}{1-4} = \frac{4}{3} \\E_B= \frac{\frac{1}{M_B} }{1-P_B} = \frac{2}{1-\frac{1}{3} } = 3\\\\E_S= \frac{E_A+E_B}{2} = \frac{\frac{4}{3}+3 }{2}=(\frac{4}{3} *\frac{1}{2} )+(3*\frac{1}{2} ) =\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{2} \\= \frac{5}{6} min$

7. A triangle has sides with lengths of 10 metres,

Kay [80]

Answer:

It is not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can prove this by Pythagorean theorem because it represents to a right triangle.

Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

Now substitute the values.

Note: the longest side will represent c

So,

a = 10 m

b = 16 m

c = 20 m

10² + 16² = 20²

The objective here is to make them equal.

100 + 256 = 400

356 ≠ 400

They are not equal so it is not considered a right triangle.

Profit is the amount of money that remains after all expenses of a project have been paid. The year has just ended, and Ajax C

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

the Profit earned by the company is $280,489

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost of 5 projects awarded = $7,435,000

Cost of Project 1 = $1,245,000

Cost of Project 2 = $985,689

Cost of Project 3 = $1,723,000

Cost of Project 4 = $2,567,054

Cost of Project 5 = $633,768

We need to find the profit earned by the company.

First we need to find Total cost spent on all 5 projects.

It can be found by adding cost spent on all projects.

Total cost spent on all 5 projects = Cost of Project 1 + Cost of Project 2 + Cost of Project 3 + Cost of Project 4 + Cost of Project 5

Total cost spent on all 5 projects = $1,245,000+ $985,689 + $1,723,000+ $2,567,054 + $633,768

Total cost spent on all 5 projects = $7,154,511

Now we can calculate profit earned using formula:

Profit earned = Total Cost of 5 projects awarded - Total cost spent on all 5 projects

Profit earned = $7,435,000 - $7,154,511

Profit earned = $1,280,489

So, the Profit earned by the company is $280,489
