Essay

Gleen Company has a JIT system in place.Each manufacturing cell is dedicated to the production of a single product or major subassembly.One cell,dedicated to the production of guitar pickups,has four operations: machining,finishing,assembly,and qualifying (testing).
For the coming year,the pickup cell has the following budgeted costs and cell time (both at theoretical capacity): $\begin{array}{l}\text { Cell time: } &8,000 \text { hours }\\\text { Theoretical output: }&60,000 \text { pickups }\end{array}$
During the year,the following actual results were obtained:
$\begin{array}{lr}\text { Actual cell time: } & 8,000 \text { hours } \\\text { Actual output: } & 50,000 \text { pickups }\end{array}$
A. Compute the theoretical velocity for the cell per hour.
B. Compute the theoretical cycle time in minutes.
C. Compute the actual velocity for the cell per hour.
D. Compute the actual cycle time in minutes.
