A JIT implementation team is evaluating lot sizes and setup times throughout
the factory. The first machine to be evaluated currently requires about 20
minutes for the machine operator to complete a changeover between different
part types. Each part requires 1.2 minutes for processing. Parts are currently
produced in batches of 60 units. The labor rate is Rs.14.50 per hour.
a) What is the current average labor cost per part, including changeovers?
b) If the changeover time could be reduced to 10 minutes, how much labor cost
per part would be saved using the current batch size of 60 units?
c) If the changeover time could be reduced to 10 minutes, how much could the
batch size be reduced in order to achieve the current average labor cost per
unit?
