With your expertise as a quality reliability engineer, how would you achievea product life cycle in a typical manufacturing industry?
Calculate the economic order quantity for your operations, where;Cost of placing an order = Gh₡30Annual demand in units = 80,000Cost of a unit of inventory = Gh₡80F = Annual stock-holding cost as a fraction of unit cost = 25% (1⁄4)
A single model manual assembly line produces a product whose work content time = 48.9 min. The line has 24 workstations with a manning level M = 1.25. The product has a Available shift time per day = 8 hr, but downtime during the shift reduces actual production time to 7.6 hr on average. This results in an average daily production of 256 units/day. Repositioning time per worker Tr is 8% of cycle time Tc. Determine: Line efficiency, Balancing efficiency, and Repositioning time Tr.
What is line efficiency of the assembly line ?

A continuous conveyor with 140 m in length uses a belt with a width of 30" to transport a material with a specific weight of 2.3 t/m³, with 100% pieces of 4 inches in diameter, the sides being tilted to 30° and with an accommodation angle of the load of 20° in continuous working regime (16 hours). Data: Use of 3 rollers and engine rotation: 600 rpm. Determine: a) TO OUS F b) c) d) e) f) Load capacity; Recommended operating speed; Selection of the roller series; bearing strength (use tapered bearings, service life 40,000 h); Spacing between rollers; Drive power
A 12-station transfer line was designed to operate with an ideal production rate = 50 parts/hour. However, the line does not achieve this rate, since the line efficiency E = 0.60. It costs $75/hour to operate the line, exclusive of materials. The line operates 4000 hours per year. A computer monitoring system has been proposed that will cost $25,000 (installed) and will reduce downtime on the line by 25%. If the value added per unit produced = $4.00, will the computer system pay for 270 itself within one year of operation. Use expected increase in revenues resulting from the computer system as the criterion. Ignore material costs in your calculations
Manufacturing process can be divided by 5 main groups with respect to their physical action on raw materials and some of them acquire a specific machine. They can be listed as: 1. Material deposition technologies, such as casting and sintering, or the new "rapid manufacturing" techniques developed rapidly in the last ten years. 2. Joining techniques, in which riveting, friction stir welding (FSW), welding and assembly are classified. 3. Forming, where hot working techniques like forging and cold working techniques such as forming, spinning and involute splines production are placed. 4. Material separation, including shearing, nibbling, punching, cutting by laser and cutting by high pressure water or abrasive waterjet (AWJ). 5. And finally material removal processes, also known as machining processes. Using 3D metal printing is falls under which catogary? O a. No. 5 O b. No. 4 O c. No. 2 O d. no. 1 O e. No. 3
1 Js A product is made to stock. Annual demand is 10000 units. One unit of product costs $10 and the holding cost rate= 20%/year. Setting up to produce a batch of products requires changeover of equipment, which takes n hr. The cost of equipment downtime plus labor $50/hr. Knowing that the economic order quantity (EOQ)=2000 pieces, determine the number of hour n Ch = holding cost; Csu=cost of setting up; and Da=annual demand. Determine the number of orders for one year = Number of orders for one year
3- Consider the precedence relationship between the activities of an assembly line. Knowing that the cycle time (T) of the assembly line is 10, then: a) Show the activities are assigned to the work station? (Note that you must show which activities are assigned to which stations. Do not give a number of workstations) b) Calculate efficiency and smoothness indices.

TWM Company purchases 8000 units of product each year at a unit cost of $10.00. The order cost is $30.00 per order, and the holding cost per unit per year is $3.00. a) What are the economic order quantity, the total annual cost, the number of orders to place in one year, and the reorder point when the lead time is two weeks? b) What happens to the EOQ if backordering is possible and the stockout cost per unit per year is $1.00? c) The supplier is offering a special discount and has temporarily reduced his unit price from $10.00 to $9.00. What amount should be purchased to take advantage of the discount? d) The supplier will increase his unit price from $10.00 to $11.00 on 1 January. What amount should be purchased and delivered on 31 December before the price increase is effective if the stock position is 346 units? What will be the cost saving of the special purchase
