Chapter 14, Problem 32P

Using the data for the coffee table in Problem 14.31, build a labor schedule when the labor standard for each top is 2 labor-hours; each leg including brass cap installation requires, 1 4 hour, as does each pair of braces. Base assembly requires 1 labor-hour, and final assembly requires 2 labor-hours. What is the total number of labor-hours required each day, and how many employees are needed each day at 8 hours per day?

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of labor hours and employees needed each day.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  • Table requires 1 top, 4 legs, 1/8 gallon of strain, 1/16 gallon of blue, 2 short braces, 2 long braces, and brass cap on the bottom of each leg.
  • 100 gallons of glue as inventory.
  • All items except brass caps, stain and glue are planned on a Lot for lot basis.
  • Caps are purchased in 1000’s, stain and glue by gallon.
  • Lead time = 1 (for each item).
  • 640 coffee tables needed on day 5 and 6.
  • 128 coffee tables needed on days 7 and 8.
  • Labor standard for each top is 2 labor hours.
  • Each leg with brass cap installation and each pair of braces need ¼ hour.
  • Base assembly needs 1 labor hour.
  • Final assembly of table requires 2 labor hours.
