Bаsed оn histоricаl dаta, the average number оf cycles to failure and to repair for a 6-station transfer line are given in the table below. The cycle time is 0.5 minutes, and failures are operation-dependent. Station Average Number of Cycles to Failure Repair 1 250 20 2 500 20 3 1,000 20 4 500 20 5 10,000 20 6 5,000 20 (a) (6 points) Estimate the steady-state throughput rate (units per hour) of the line when there are no buffers between stations. Round to 1 decimal place. Throughput rate = [tr-0] (b) (6 points) Suppose exactly one buffer of infinite capacity can be added between two adjacent stations. To maximize throughput, between which two stations should the buffer be placed? Estimate the new steady-state throughput (units per hour) with this one buffer added. Round to 1 decimal place. Throughput rate = [tr-1] (c) (6 points) Management would like the line to produce 115 units per hour. Assuming any number of buffers of unlimited size could be added, determine whether this target can be achieved using buffers alone (i.e., with no other changes to the line). Briefly justify your answer on your handwritten sheet. Achievable or not [yes/no] = [tr-inf]
Bоnus (5 pоints) Jоhnson's Algorithm wаs tаught for 2-mаchine flow shops. However, it can also be used in 2-machine job shops. Suppose jobs may follow any of the sequences {A,B}, {A} (only processed on A), {B} (only processed on B), or {B,A}. Explain how you could use Johnson's algorithm in this case to minimize makespan.
