Summary Introduction

Interpretation: A machine shop located on the outskirts of Los Angeles accepts custom orders from a number of high-tech firms in southern California. The machine shop consists of four departments: A (lathes), B (drills), C (grinders), and D (sanders). The from-to chart showing distances in feet between department centers is given.

Assuming that products are produced in batches of size 25; from the given data, a from-to chart giving numbers of materials handling trips per week between departments needs to be given.

Concept Introduction: A routing planning chart consisting of a matrix is called a from-to chart. Various operations are written across the top and along the left side of the form.

Problem 1 (20 Points) Davison Electronics manufactures three LED television monitors, identified as Model A, Model B, and Model C. Davison Electronics four manufacturing plants. Each model has its lowest possible production cost when produced at Plant 1. However, Plant 1 does not have the capacity to handle the total production of all three models. As a result, at least some of the production must be routed to the other manufacturing plants. The following table shows the minimum production requirements for next month, the plant capacities in units per month, and the production cost per unit at each plant: Model Production Cost per Unit Minimum Production Requirements Plant 1 Plant 2 Plant 3 Plant 4 A $25 $28 $37 $34 48,000 B $26 $35 $36 $41 75,000 C $20 $31 $26 $23 60,000 Production Capacity 65,000 50,000 32,000 43,000   Davison’s objective is to determine the cost-minimizing production plan.
