Week 2 Assignment
Analyzing Casino Money- Handling Processes
1. Drop Process
How long should it take to empty 300 silver dollar slot machines?
15 min + 10 min (300 slot machines) + (300 slot machines/ 20 buckets per cart)(30 minutes delivery per cart)=
15 + 3000+450 = 3465 min / 60mins = 57 hrs and 45 mins
2. Hard Count Process
How long should this process take to complete for 300 silver dollar slot machines? Assume that each slot machine has an average of 750 silver dollars when its emptied
10min weight scales + 7min per bucket(300 machines) +[ (750 per bucket * 300 machines)/25 per roll] / 10 rolls per min + (9000 rolls/40roll per can)(5min to fill and stack) + 5 min to record on report + (9000 rolls/40roll per can)(2 min per can verification) =
3. Purchasing a second coin wrapping machine would enhance the hard count process. They would be able to complete twice as many rolls per minute and you can complete the process in half the time. With a new machine the process would have to be revised so you don’t have jams in the conveyer belt. I am not sure that purchasing this machine would be the most desirable because technology is advancing and developing and such a rapid rate that casino’s may want to look into upgrading the actual slot machines.
4. Electric slot machines that do not use cash would have a huge impact on the process because now the process would have to change completely. New procedures and verification processes would have to be put in place. There may not even be a hard count process at
