The M-N plant manufactures two different products: M and N. Selling prices and weekly market demands are shown in the following diagram. Each product uses raw materials with costs as shown. The plant has three different machines: A, B, and C. Each performs different tasks and can work on only one unit of material at a time. Resources: A, B, C (one each) Availability: 3,500 min./week Operating expense: $12,000/week Product M Product N $190/unit 100 units/week $200/unit 80 units/week C 15 min./unit C 15 min./unit A B B 20 min./unit 5 min./unit 5 min./unit RM-1 $60/unit RM-2 $40/unit RM-3 $55/unit Process times for each task are shown in the diagram. Each machine is available 3,500 minutes per week. There are no "Murphys" (major opportunities for the system to foul up). Setup and transfer times are zero. Demand is constant. Operating expenses (including labor) total a constant $12,000 per week. Raw materials are not included in weekly operating expenses.

Tailwind, Inc., produces high-quality but expensive training shoes for runners. The Tailwindshoe, which sells for $210, contains both gas- and liquid-filled compartments to provide morestability and better protection against knee, foot, and back injuries. Manufacturing the shoesrequires 10 separate tasks. There are 400 minutes available for manufacturing the shoes inthe plant each day. Daily demand is 60. The information for the tasks is as follows: Task Performance Time (In minutes) Task Must Follow This task A 1 ___ B 3 A C 2 B D 4 B E 1 C.D F 3 A G 2 F H 5 G I 1 E,H J 3/25 I 1. What is the theoretical minimum number of work stations required to satisfy this output rate? 2. Allocate the tasks to work stations taking into consideration the precedence requirements and usingthe LOT rule to break ties between feasible tasks.

K Borges Machine Shop, Inc., has a 1-year contract for the production of 75,000 gear housings for a new off-road vehicle. Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are general-purpose equipment (GPE), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and expensive, but efficient, dedicated machine (DM). The cost data follow: Annual contracted units Annual fixed cost Per unit variable cost General-Purpose Equipment (GPE) 75,000 $100,000 $15.00 Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) 75,000 $225,000 $14.75 Dedicated Machine (DM) 75,000 $500,000 $13.00 Based on the total cost, the process that is best suited for the current contracted volume is Suppose the contracted volume changes to 275,000 gear housings. Based on the total cost, the process that is best suited for the new volumo in
A.J.’s Wildlife Emporium manufactures two unique birdfeeders (Deluxe and Super Duper) that are manufactured and assembled in up to three different workstations (X, Y, Z) using a small batch process. Each of the products is produced according to the flowchart in Figure. Additionally, the flowchart indicates each product’s price, weekly demand, and processing times per unit. Batch setup times are negligible.A.J. can make and sell up to the limit of its weekly demand and there are no penalties for not being able to meet all of the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $16 per hour. The plant operates 40 hours per week, with no overtime. Overhead costs are $2,000 per week. Based on the information provided, as well as the information contained in the flowchart, answer the following questions. a. Using the traditional method, which bases decisions solely on a product’s contribution to profits and overhead, what is the…
11. A company is about to begin production of a new product. The manager of the department that will produce one of the components for the product wants to know how often the machine used to produce the item will be available for other work. The machine will produce the item at a rate of 200 units a day. Eighty units will be used daily in assembling the final product. Assembly will take place five days a week, 50 weeks a year. The manager estimates that it will take almost a full day to get the machine ready for a production run, at a cost of $300. Inventory holding costs. will be $10 a year. Chapter Twelve Inventory Management a. What run quantity should be used to minimize total annual costs? b. How many days does it take to produce the optimal run quantity? c. What is the average amount of inventory? d. If the manager wants to run another job between runs of this item, and needs a minimum of 10 days per cycle for the other work, will there be enough time? e. Given your answer to…
