2. (10) Consider a simple two-station line as below. The first machine takes 30mins per job. The second machine takes 24mins per job. Both have SCV 1. Both machines have exponential process times (ce(1) e(2) – ). Between the two machines there is enough room for 4 jobs. So B 4 jobs; b- B+2 6 jobs Station 1 Finite bufer Station 2 raw materials a. What is the throughput? b. What is the partial WIP (i.e. WIP waiting at the first machine or at the second machine, but not in process at the first machine)? What is the total cycle time for the line, not including time in raw material? (Hint: Use Little's law with partial WIP and the throughput and then add the process time at the first machine) first machine) c. d. What is the total WIP in the line? (Hint: Use Little's law with the total cycle time and throughput.)
