    On average, 18000 barrels arrive over the 12hr span that the business is open. This means approximately 1500 barrels of berries are input into the process per hour (18000barrels/12hrs). The capacity of the Kiwanee dumpers was given as 3000 b/hr., and I was able to calculate the implied utilization by dividing the berry input rate by the capacity(1500bbl/hr divided by 3000bbl/hr). To calculate the actual utilization of the dumpers, you must first determine the flow rate of the system. Only 25% of the berries are dry and 75% are wet. This sums to 375 dry berries per hour (1500 input/hr x.25) and 1125 wet berries per hour (1500 input x .75). The dry berries have 16 bins that hold 250 barrels a piece, adding up to a total of 4000 berries that can be stored. The wet berries have 8 bins that hold 250 barrels and 3 bins that hold 400 barrels, adding up to 3200 barrels total for storage. The capacity of the DeStoners was given as 1500bbl/hr. The implied utilization would be the input rate (1500bbl/hr) divided by the capacity (1500 bbl/hr). Since the bottleneck does…

    On an average busy day, 18,000 bbl arrive over the 12-hr period. Thus, we can say that 1,500 bbl arrive every hour. Since 75% of the berries are wet berries, 1,125 bbl of wet berries and 375 bbl of dry berries arrive every hour. These berries are dumped into 5 Kiwanee Dumpers that take 600 bbls per hour each.…

    Since the process capacity is of bottleneck, the capacity of the cranberry process is 600 bbls/hour. Also, we have to take note that only wet berries go through the drying process and thus the processing of the dry berries are not affected by this. The process capacity of processing dry berries alone would be 1200 bbls per hour (Bottleneck = Quality Grading). However, even with the capacity of 1200 bbls per hour, all dry berries received…

    Trend shows that percentage of water harvested berries that currently stands at 70% of the berries delivered to the plant will keep increasing in the future. In our existing set up the dryers that process wet berries are a bottleneck at 600bbls/hr capacity. Our analysis recommends installation of 2 additional driers which will augment the drying capacity to 1000bbls/hr. This will be in line with forecast that quantity of wet berries arriving at the plant will increase in the coming time.…
