A final assembly plant for a certain automobilemodel is to have a capacity of 240,000 units annually.The plant will operate 50 wk/yr, 2 shifts/day, 5 days/wk, and 8.0 hr/shift. It will be divided into three departments: (1) body shop, (2) paint shop, (3) trim-chassis-final department. The body shop welds the car bodies using robots, and the paint shop coats the bodies. Both of these departments are highly auto-mated. Trim-chassis-final has no automation. There are 15.5 hr of direct labor content on each car in this department, where cars are moved by a continuous conveyor. Determine (a) hourly production rate ofthe plant, (b) number of workers and workstations required in trim-chassis-final if no automated stations are used, the average manning level is 2.5, balancing efficiency 1⁄4 93%, proportion uptime 1⁄495%, and a repositioning time of 0.15 min is allowedfor each worker.
A toy manufacturing uses 51030 rubber wheels per year for its popular dump truck series. The firm makes its own wheels, which it can can produce at a rate of 800 per day. The toy trucks are assembled uniformly ( at a constant rate ) over the entire year. Carrying cost is $ 1.50 per wheel per year. setup cost for the production run of the wheel is $ 47. The firm operatyes 243 days per year. Determine each of the following:
1-Optimal run size
2-Use your final answer from part 1 to determine minimum total annual cost for carrying and setup
3-Cycle time for the optimal run size
4-Run time
In a factory where there are three shifts: The machine overhead cost is found to be £8.20 / hr, the labour overhead cost is found to be £30.20/hr, and the premises overhead cost is found to be £3.50/hr.
Using the principle of overhead costing:
If a single component takes 23 minutes to manufacture on the milling machine. What is the cost / part? You should include machine costs, labour costs and premises costs in your answer, but you can neglect material and energy costs.
Express your answer in £ rounded up to the nearest penny.

- A certain Batch manufacturing plant requires one operator to tend to 2 semiautomatic machines used in production. The plant operates one 10-hour shift per day for 250 days in a year. The operator is paid $30 per hour with applicable factory labor overhead rate of 50%. Other pertinent information about the system in include the information provided below. Determine the hourly cost of the system. Machine 1 Machine 2 Initial cost $125,000 $10,000 $5000 $150,000 $5000 $3000 Installation Yearly maintenance cost 10 years $5000 SL years $10,000 SV 20% 20% ROR 50% Applicable MOHR 30%arrow_forwardA worker is currently responsible for tending two machines in a machine cluster. The service time per machine is 0.35 min and the time to walk between machines is 0.15 min.The machine automatic cycle time is 1.90 min. If the worker’s hourly rate = $12/hr andthe hourly rate for each machine = $18/hr, determine (a) the current hourly rate for thecluster, and (b) the current cost per unit of product, given that two units are produced byeach machine during each machine cycle. (c) What is the percent idle time of the worker?(d) What is the optimum number of machines that should be used in the machine cluster, ifminimum cost per unit of product is the decision criterion?arrow_forwardthe final answer is 0.5 A production machine operates in a semi-automatic cycle but a worker must attend the machine 100% of the time to load parts. Unloading is accomplished automatically. The worker's cost rate = 37$/hr including applicable labor overhead rate. To produce the parts, the production machine was bought six years ago for installed price of $750,000. At that time it was anticipated that the machine would last 8 years and be used 5000 hours per year. However, it is now in need of major repairs that will cost $166,500. These repairs will be made and as a result, the machine will last three years, operating 4000 hours per year. Applicable overhead rate for the machine = 42%. Cost of the starting parts = 0.12$/pc. The job runs several months so the effect of setup can be ignored. Each cycle, the actual process time = 26s, and time to load the part = 18 s. Automatic unloading takes 4 s. A proposal has been made to install an automatic parts-loading device on the machine. The…arrow_forward
- A certain job shop specializes in one-of-a-kind orders dealing with parts of medium-to-high complexity. A typical part is processed sequentially through 10 machines in batch sizes of 1. The shop contains a total of eight conventional machine tools and operates 40 hr/wk of pro duction time. Average time values on each part per machine are: machining time = 0.5 hr, work handling time = 0.3 hr, tool change time = 0.2 hr, setup time = 3 hr, and non operation time = 12 hr. A new programmable machine is being considered that can per form all 10 operations in a single setup. The programming of the machine for this part will require 20 hr; however, the programming can be done off-line, without tying up the machine. Setup time will be just 2 hr because simpler fixtures will be used. Total machining time will be reduced to 80% of its previous value due to advanced tool control algorithms; work han dling time will be the same as for one machine; and total tool change time will be reduced by…arrow_forwardA small electrical appliance is to be assembled on a single model assembly line.

The total work content time = 45 min and the manning level is 1. Assuming line efficiency of 0.90 and balancing efficiency of 0.80; determine: (a) the number of work station required to meet the annual demand, and (b) the number of workers required to meet the annual demand if repositioning time of 15 sec is considered in part (b).arrow_forward
- A flow-line mass production operation consists of six manual workstations. Work units are moved synchronously and automatically between stations, with a transfer time of 10 secs. The manual processing operations performed at the six stations take 45 sec, 50 sec, 40 sec, 42 sec, 30 sec, and 55 sec, respectively. Determine (a) cycle time for the line, (b) time to process one work until through the six workstations, (c) average production rate, and (d) time to produce 20,000 units.arrow_forwardA 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.
