The Universal Manufacturing Company produces a particular product in an assembly-line operation. One of the machines on the line is a drill press that has a single assembly line feeding into it. A partially completed unit arrives at the press to be worked on every 8 minutes, on average, according to an exponential distribution. The machine operator can process an average of 10 parts per hour (Poisson distributed). Determine the average number of parts waiting to be worked on, the percentage of time the operator is working, and the percentage of time the machine is idle. The management of Universal Manufacturing Company likes to have its operators working 90% of the time. What must the assembly line arrival rate be in order for the operators to be as busy as management would like

Inventory Management

The supply chain is crucial to a firm's operations as it manages the inflow and outflow of products that are manufactured from the initial stage to the end product. It also considers the raw materials needed at different stages of production and when the work is in progress. Inventory management functions consist of ordering, storing, and procuring the organization's inventory like raw materials, factors, and finished products. It's also used for controlling the number of products for trade and helps manage the organization's inventory and stock. Inventory Management has been defined as having the right inventory, of the right volume, at the right cost.
