Manufacturing Machines Run Time Reject Rate

Milling 5-2 min 3% = 145 products per hour

Grinding 7-3 min 5% = 137 products per hour

Boring 3-1 min 2% = 176 products per hour

Drilling 6-2.5 min 7% = 136 products per hour

According to the manufacturer's data, currently, Beck Manufacturing is producing product at the following rate:

Machines Run Time Reject Rate Total

Milling 5-2 min 3% = 145 products per hour

Grinding 7-3 min 5% = 137 products per hour

Every day, Beck Manufacturing is producing the following amount of product during its two eight-hour shifts:

If that venture were undertaken, then the amount of product being produced on a daily basis would jump to:
Milled 3480 products Ground 3288 Bored 4224 Drilled 3264

There are a couple of problems with the scenario of adding an extra shift. First of all, the ground and drilled operations would work just fine because they are relatively close in the amount of product that would be able to be produced. However, milled products would run at an approximately 6.5% faster rate than what either the drilled or the ground centers of production would be able to handle, and the…
