6. CYCLONE: the approach Study the flow of “repeated” tasks.
Identify the “cyclical” resources
In some cases, these resources “queue” or wait “idle” in line if the task is not ready for it.
In other cases, resources flow “normally” without restrictions. EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENTPROCUREMENT

7. CYCLONE: The elements Normal: an activity/task with duration where the resource flow without restrictions.
Queue: a wait line where resources wait to start a task.
COMBI: an activity/task with duration where the resource flow with restrictions.
The basic rule: a Queue has to be followed by a COMBI and a Normal cannot be proceeded by a Queue

8. CYCLONE Consider a mason laborer problem in which the laborer stockpiles the brick pallets on the scaffold. In this system assume that the scaffold is large enough to allow for stacking of three 10-brick packets. One laborer and three masons are defined in the system. No bricks are stacked on the scaffold at the beginning of the shift.
Tasks:
Resupply stack
Mason removes packet
Mason lays brick

14. CYCLONE: Paving Example Hot-mix batch plant cycle
Aggregate travels through the cold feed bins- regulated by the size of the gate opening, or the speed of a belt, or a combination of the two. The aggregate is sent to a drier. The aggregate continues to the hot elevator by screens to the hot bins. The different sizes of aggregate are released into the weight hopper one bin at a time. The aggregate is dropped into the pugmill for mixing with the asphalt. The mixture is then dropped into a waiting truck or moved to a storage silo. Samples are taken from each hot bin for testing. A sieve analysis is conducted as well as gradation test.
Placement (includes 4 cycles)
an asphalt distributor is used to spray asphalt on the unpaved surface. The coats are then allowed to cure. the paver is positioned properly onto the road. The screed of the paver is lowered onto block of the same depth of the loose asphalt mat that is going to be laid on the road. After that, the block can be removed and paving can start.

21. CYCLONE: Disadvantages Not that intuitive
Has non-actual terms in a subjective industry
As good as input data
22. The following information is given for a Caterpillar scraper:
Empty weight = 30 tons
Maximum heaped volume = 25 LCM
Maximum pay load = 35 tons
Material: Sandy clay, 1600 kg/BCM, 1350 kg/LCM
Job efficiency = 50 minutes/h
Operating conditions = average
[20%] Find the most optimum route for the scraper
[20%] Estimate the production rate at that route
[20%] If the hourly cost of the scraper is estimated at $80/hour and a paved toll road is available for haul or return trips with grade = 2% (down on the haul and up on the return). Would use this toll road on the haul or return trips? what would be the maximum toll you will be willing to pay?
Putting it all together: Exam-Quality Example
23. Putting it all together: Exam-Quality Example In an earth moving operation, you have a fleet of 10 rear dump trucks. Each has a capacity of 17 cubic meters. Each truck costs $130/hour. At the loading area, trucks are loaded using a set of wheel loaders. Each loader has a capacity of 3.2 cubic meters. Loaders are operating with a bucket fill factor of 0.92. The hourly cost of each loader is $75/hour. To loosen the soil, a single dozer is needed. It costs $80/hour. The soil is hauled on a 5% down grade on a paved highway. The travel time is 3 minutes. Midway, and in about 10% of the cases, trucks are required to be weighted in a highway weigh station. This consumes 6 minutes. Upon arrival to the dump site which has unfavourable conditions, a spotter helps the trucks in locating the proper dump location. His hourly wage is $30/hour. The trucks return on the same hauling road. The return trip consumes 3.2 minutes. On the way back, about 10% of the trucks stop for service and about 10% stop to fuel. On average, service consumes 10 minutes and fuelling consumes 6 minutes. The total volume of soil being moved is 30,000 BCM. The soil swell factor is 1.15.
