CASE STUDY 1

A production manager oversees a manufacturing department containing three CNC machining lines t

Each machining line contains 3 separate machines arranged in a series such that a part passes through each mach

Production off these lines is measured in pieces per 8 hour shift

Each machine has its defect rate

Use Anaytics to describe

1. The expected range of parts produced by the entire department
2. The amount of raw materials required to produce them
three CNC machining lines that produce brass fittings

rt passes through each machine sequentially before it is finished

pieces per 8 hour shift

t rate
