Blue Ridge Hot Tubs manufactures and sells two models of hot tubs: the Aqua-Spa and the Hydro-Lux. Howie Jones, the owner and manager of the company, needs to decide how many of each type of hot tub to produce during his next production cycle. Howie buys prefabricated fiberglass hot tub shells from a local supplier and adds the pump and tubing to the shells to create his hot tubs. (This supplier has the capacity to deliver as many hot tub shells as Howie needs.) Howie installs the same type of pump into both hot tubs. He will have only 200 pumps available during his next production cycle. From a manufacturing standpoint, the main difference between the two models of hot tubs is the amount of tubing and labor required. Each Aqua-Spa requires 9 hours of labor and 12 feet of tubing. Each Hydro-Lux requires 6 hours of labor and 16 feet of tubing. Howie expects to have 1,566 production labor hours and 2,880 feet of tubing available during the next production cycle. Howie earns a profit of…

Flint Fabricators Inc. machines metal parts for the automotive industry. Under the traditional manufacturing approach, the parts are machined through two processes: milling and finishing. Parts are produced in batch sizes of 30 parts. A part requires 5 minutes in milling and 7 minutes in finishing. The move time between the two operations for a complete batch is 5 minutes. Under the lean philosophy, the part is produced in a cell that includes both the milling and finishing operations. The operating time is unchanged; however, the batch size is reduced to 4 parts and the move time is eliminated. Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the traditional and lean manufacturing methods. (Round percentages to one decimal place.)
A hurricane has been predicted to make landfall in Louisiana. The counties that lie within the path of the storm along with current population estimates are given in Table 1 below. There are several regional warehouses located in Texas, Alabama and Georgia that have capacity available to lease so that supplies can be prepositioned in advance of the storm. The lease capacity available at each of the warehouses is 100,000 units of MREs (meals ready-to-eat). The cost to lease each warehouse along with the capacity available is displayed in Table 2. The distance (in miles) to ship product to each of the counties from each possible warehouse location is summarized in Table 3. Assume travel cost is proportional to distance traveled. Formulate a mathematical model that will determine which of the warehouses to use to preposition MREs and the amount shipped from each warehouse to each of the counties to assist those who are in need after the storm. Assume that 25% of the population will…
The water-supply manager for a Midwest city needs to supply the city with at least 10 million gal of potable (drinkable) water per day. The supply may be drawn from the local reservoir or from a pipeline to an adjacent town. The local reservoir has a maximum daily yield of 6 million gallons of potable water, and the pipeline has a maximum daily yield of 10 million gallons. By contract, the pipeline is required to supply a minimum of 6 million gallons/day. If the cost for 1 million gallons of reservoir water is $300 and that for pipeline water is $600, how much water should the manager get from each source to minimize daily water costs, C, for the city?
