There are FIVE processesing station in a prodcution system: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. The times taken at each process are as follows 2 minutes, 6 minutes, 4 minutes, 9.4 and 13 minutes. Job request inflow rate is 16 per hour and jobs requests are accepted for six hours only. The systems closes after all accepted jobs have been completed, that is at the closing there are no unfinished jobs in the system.
The system capacity = /hour
The average waiting time in the system in minutes is = minutes
The throughput time of the system is = minutes
The average inventory in the system is = jobs
The average waiting time before P2 = minutes
The average waiting time before P3 = minutes
The average waiting time before P4 = minutes
The average waiting time before P5 = minutes
Station P5 has the maximum time = 13 minutes
Therefore, cycle time = 13 minutes
The system capacity = 60/13 = 4.62 per hour
Number of jobs waiting to be processed at the end of six hours = 6*(16-4.62) = 68.3
The average waiting time in the system = 68.3*13/2 = 444 minutes
The Throughput time of the system = 2+6+4+9.4+13 = 34.4 minutes
The average inventory in the system = 68.3/2 = 34.15 jobs
The average waiting time before P2 = 6*(16*6-60)/2 = 108 minutes
The average waiting time before P3 = 6*(16*4-60)/2 = 12 minutes
The average waiting time before P4 = 6*(16*9.4-60)/2 = 271.2 minutes
The average waiting time before P5 = 6*(16*13-60)/2 = 444 minutes
