Process Analysis
We start by making a process flow diagram for the flow of berries at RP1 from the moment berries arrive at the RP1 in trucks to the moment they leave in RP1 after being bag packed, bulk loaded into trucks or loaded into bulk tins.
The capacities of the various processes are based on the assumptions or data as shown below:
Dumping Capacity
Number of Kiwanee Dumpers = 5
Average time taken by truck to load the berries onto Kiwanee Dumpers = 7.5 minutes
(Maximum being 10 and minimum being 5 minutes)
Average weight of berries in a truck = 75 bbls.
Dumping Capacity = 5 * 75 * 60 / 7.5 = 3000 bbls/hr.
Holding Bin Capacities
Bin No. 1-16 can hold dry berries only up to 250 bbls per bin.
Total capacity of bin numbered 1-16 = 250*16 = 4000 bbls
Bin No. 17-24 can hold dry/wet berries up to 250 bbls per bin
Total capacity of bin numbered 17-24 = 250*8 = 2000 bbls.
Bin No. 25-27 can hold wet berries up to 400 bbls per bin
Total capacity of bin numbered 25-27 = 400*3 = 1200 bbls.
De-stoning Capacity
No. of de-stoning units = 3
Capacity of each unit = 1500 bbls/hr
Total de-stoning capacity = 4500 bbls/hr
De-chaffing Capacity
No. of de-chaffing units = 3
Capacity of each unit = 1500 bbls/hr
Total de-chaffing capacity = 4500 bbls/hr
Jumbo Separator and Bailey Mill Lines
No. of separator units = 3
Average capacity of each unit = 400 bbls/hr
Total separator capacity = 1200 bbls/hr
Bagging Station Capacity
Maximum output per day = 8000
Working hours = 12hrs.
Capacity = 8000/12 = 667 bbls per day
Bulk Bin Loading Capacity
No. of loaders for bulk bin loading = 4
Capacity of each loader = 200 bbls/day
Total bulk bin loading
