2. A porter made 40 teapots, 15 cups and 15 saucers in 20 hours. All her pottery conformed to her design specifications except for 6 cups which had to be scrapped, and 12 teapots to be reworked. Each cup scrapped resulted in a R10 loss; each reprocessed piece of pottery requires an extra 10 minutes of processing time. (a) Use this information to calculate the following: Scrap cost (2) i. Repressing time (2) iii. Productivity per hour before improvement (2) iv. Productivity per hour after process improvement (2) (b) The porter decided to automate part of her production process in an effort to improve the quality of her work. For 70 units of pottery she makes in 20 hours, the process now yields 64 conforming units 2 teapot to be scrapped and 4 saucers for rework. Each teapot scrapped resulted in a R6 loss; each reprocessed piece of pottery still requires an extra 10 minutes of processing time
. Repeat the calculation in (a) Calculate the benefits of the quality effort in terms of conforming, non-conforming, scrapped, reprocessed, and productivity with and without processing (8)
