1. HOW WILL IT TAKE YOU TO FULFIL A RUSH ORDER?

ANS .Order entry = 0 min (given)

Wash/add/mix=6 min(given)

Spooning =2 min

Heating Oven= 1min

Baking process= 9min

Remove cookies= 0min

Cooling them=5min

Packing them=3min

Therefore, in order to fulfill the order it will take 6+2+1+9+0+5+3 = 26min

So in rush hours it will take 26min to complete the order.

2.

Ans. Bottleneck of baking is 10min per dozen i.e. 6dozen per hour

Therefore operating time =60x40 =240

The time taken in the rush hours is 26min per dozen

Therefore, 240-26= 214/10(where 10 is the bottleneck)

=21.4

I.e. 22 dozen

3How much of your own and your roommate's valuable time will it 

take to fill each order?

Ans.

Time used by Kriten;

Washing and mixing=6 mins

Spooning =2mins

I.e. 8 mins

Time taken by roommate;

Heating the oven=1 min

Removing = 0 min

Packing the cookies=2min

Collecting money=1 min

Therefore, total time taken by room mate is 4min

4. Because your baking trays can hold exactly one dozen cookies, you 

will produce and sell cookies by the dozen. Should you give any 

discount for people who order two dozen cookies, three dozen 

cookies, or more? If so, how much? Will it take any longer to fill a two- 

dozen cookie order than a one-dozen cookie order?

Ans.

WE can only give a discount if the cost of your raw materials decrease because of your ability to get a discount from a supplier for purchasing larger quantities, or your resource costs decrease because you achieve some kind of a “economies of scale” or better efficiency by producing larger order Because we don’t know anything about the raw material costs and given discounts we will 

ignore this and focus on our resource costs....
