An FMS consists of three stations plus a load/unload station. Station 1 loads and unloads parts using two servers (material handling workers). Station 2 performs horizontal milling operations with two servers (identical CNC horizontal milling machines). Station 3 performs vertical milling operations with three servers (identical CNC vertical milling machines). Station 4 performs drilling operations with two servers (identical drill presses). The machines are connected by a part handling system that has two work carriers and a mean transport time = 3.5 min. The FMS produces four parts, A, B, C, and D, whose part mix fractions and process routings are presented in the table below. The operation frequency is fijk = 1.0 for all operations. Determine (a) maximum production rate of the FMS, (b) utilization of each machine in this system, and (c) average utilisation of the system U s .

Three balanced 3-phase loads are connected in parallel. Load 1 is Y-connected with an impedance of 400 + j300 ? per phase, load 2 is ?-connected with an impedance of 2400 – j1800 ? per phase, and load 3 is absorbing 172.8 + j2203.2 kVA. The loads are fed from a set of distribution lines with an impedance of 2 + j16 ? per line. The magnitude of the line-to-neutral voltage at the load end of the line is 24?3...

A closed loop overhead conveyor must be designed to deliver parts from a load station to an unload station. The specified flow rate of parts between the two stations is 320 parts/hr. The conveyor has carriers spaced at a center-to-center distance that is to be determined. Each carrier holds one part. Forward and return loops are each 75 m. Conveyor speed is 0.6 m/s. Minimum feasible times to load and unload parts at the respective stations is 0.16 min for...

A car wash has two stations, 1 and 2. The service time at station 1 is exponentially distributed with parameter λ1, and the service time at station 2 is exponentially distributed with parameter λ2.When a car arrives at the car wash, it begins service at station 1, provided station 1 is free; otherwise, the car waits until station 1 is available. Upon completing service at station 1, the car then proceeds to station 2, provided station 2 is free; otherwise,...

There are a total of 10 test stations. When a circuit board fails, the test station will automatically record the lifetime for the failed board and then immediately switch to a replacement board. The test was stopped at 1200 hours. At that time, 19 circuit boards had failed and there was an operating circuit board in every station. Assuming the boards have exponentially-distributed lifetimes, estimate the mean lifetime for this type of board.
