Chapter 11, Problem 15P
Bay Oil produces two types of fuel (regular and super) by mixing three ingredients. The major distinguishing feature of the two products is the octane level required. Regular fuel must have a minimum octane level of 90, whereas super must have a level of at least 100. The cost per barrel, octane levels, and available amounts (in barrels) for the upcoming two-week period appear in the following table, along with the maximum demand for each end product and the revenue generated per barrel:

A city of 70000 residents has an average water demand of 250 L/ca.day. The institutional and commercial, and industrial average areas in the city are 250 and 350 Ha, and water demand expected is 20 and 23 m3 /Ha.d. The public water use and water unaccounted for are 10 and 6 % of total municipal water demand, respectively. Calculate total municipal demand and each component quantity as a % of total municipal demand.
Determine what capacity is required. You will need to estimate the annual sales of dempster's whole wheat bread. Determine the capacity required for each variety and /or size by making an assumption as to what percentage of each variety and size are sold. State the total capacity required to meet the estimate annual sales. We will assume that sales volume will increase at 5% per year for 10 years. Calculate the volume in year 10. This will be the design capacity of the production line. b. Assume your plant will normally operate 5 days per week, 2 shifts per day, and 8 hours per shift. There are approximately 10 statutory holidays each year, and your company policy is to take a 2 week shutdown every summer, so employees are only available to work 48 weeks per year. Assume planned equipment changeovers add up to another 2 weeks per year. Calculate your effective capacity. c. We will assume that the efficiency of the plant is 70 percent. Calculate the Actual Output that you can expect to…
Ross White recently opened a landscaping division , that advises home owners and businesses on landscaping and lawn maintenance. The operations manager, Ms. Priya Johnson, is trying to determine the amount of fertilizer that should be applied to a particular lawn in a residential area in San Juan.
Ms. Johnson’s analysis has determined that the lawn needs at least 60kg of Nitrogen, 24kg of Phosphorous compounds and 40kg of Potassium compounds for the current season. After checking nearby home and garden centres, Ms. Johnson has found that one of the suppliers is currently having a sale on packaged fertilizer.
One type on sale called Xynis, is a 20-5-20 mixture, containing 20% Nitrogen, 5% phosphorous compounds and 20% potassium compounds. It sells at $4 for a 20kg bag. The other type called Yield-all is a 10-10-5 mixture (10% Nitrogen, 10% phosphorous compounds and 5% potassium compounds) selling for $5 for a 40kg bag.
Ms. Johnson would like to know how many bags of each type she…

- Peanut butter is produced from raw peanuts. During manufacturing first, the peanut shell, soil, and sand are removed using a sheller. The removed shell, sand and soil correspond to 2/5 of the raw material by weight entering to sheller. Then the deshelled peanuts, containing 5.6% water, 26% protein, 47.5% fat, 18.6% carbohydrate, and 2.3% ash, are roasted. After roasting the water content decreases to 1.8% due to the evaporation during roasting. The roasted peanuts are then subjected to skin removal operation in a blancher where the skins removed constitute about 1/40 of the roasted peanuts. Finally, clean roasted peanuts are finely ground in a grinder with addition of 1 kg hydrogenated fat and 2 kg honey per 100 kg of roasted deskinned peanuts. The product from the grinder is filled into 250 g jars by using a canning machine. Draw the process and calculate the quantities of all the streams per 100 kg of the roasted product entering blancher.arrow_forwardA plant is introducing time standards in one of its production departments. The department employs 96 workers. The average wage rate in the department is $13/hr, including fringe benefits. The workweek is 40 hr (2000 hr/yr). The average number of batches produced each year by a worker is 50 (1 batch/week), and the average batch size is 1196 parts. When time standards are used, the productivity increase is expected to be 18%. The application speed ratio of the work measurement techniques to be used is 150. The annual salary of each analyst is $51.5,000, including fringe benefits. Determine the annual savings in direct labor cost if the department's workload after standards are introduced is the same as before, meaning that fewer workers will be required.
