Question
Chapter 16, Problem 12P
Summary Introduction
To draw: To identify the sequence of assembly and the repetition of sequence per day.
Introduction
Lean production is a system for the management in which it focuses on reducing waste, checking the quality, and all the efforts are put to fulfill the market needs. All the activities starting from manufacturing to distribution are managed efficiently through the lean system.

Solvo produces three types of trucks on one assembly line: the long-haul (L), the short-haul (S), and the vocational truck (V). Next month the company has orders for 1,100 long-haul trucks, 1650 short-haul trucks, and 550 vocational trucks. Chris Riggs, the production manager for Solvo, wants to try uniform production and mixed-model sequencing.
Assuming 30 working days per month, what assembly sequence would you recommend, and how many times per day should the sequence be repeated. (Round answer to 0 decimal places)
Assembly sequence? (pick one)
a.vocational,vocational, vocational, long-haul, long-haul, short-haul
b.short-haul, long-haul, short-haul, vocational, short-haul, long-haul
c.short-haul, short-haul, long-haul, long-haul, vocational, vocational
How many times should sequence be repeated?
Given the following information about a product atMichael Gibson’s firm, what is the appropriate setup time?Annual demand = 39,000 unitsDaily demand = 150 unitsDaily production = 1,000 unitsDesired lot size = 150 unitsHolding cost per unit per year = $10Setup labor cost per hour = $40
The Harvey Motorcycle Company produces three models: the Tiger,
a sure-footed dirt bike; the LX2000, a nimble cafe racer; and the Golden, a
large interstate tourer. The month's master production schedule calls for the
production of 36 Goldens, 26 LX2000s, and 34 Tigers per 10-hour shift.
What average cycle time is required for the assembly line to achieve the
production quota in 10 hours? hours per motorcycle. (Enter your response
rounded to three decimal places.)

- Shorter production runs and multiple configurations of products do not work well in traditional manufacturing settings. Shorter runs require less material on the line. Most manufacturers still bring a full pallet to the line when needing only a third of the material on the pallet. As multiple product models flow through the assembly line, more pallets with parts for each model fill the work cell. These are necessary to accommodate quick changeovers on the line. The result is a high level of chaos. Aisles become more congested as traffic bringing (and returning) material to the line increases. Workers must use more steps to access the correct component for each model. The possibility of workers attaching the wrong material for the product model increases. Finally, safety issues rise. The good news is it is possible to reduce excess inventory and still meet production goals.

- Suppose a final assembly is produced by assembling two components. THE The first component, A, is produced internally and goes through three process steps, which are stamping, forging and machining, with scrap estimates of 10%, 15% and 25%, respectively. For every three produced units of component A, two are used in the final assembly and one is separate to meet spare parts needs. The second component, B, which is used exclusively in final assembly, is purchased from a supplier external and inspected on arrival; 2% do not pass inspection. A unit of the component purchased is required for each final assembly. The final assembly process produces 5% of scraps. Spare parts demands for component A and final Su assembly match to 1,000 and 5,000 units, respectively. How many input units are needed for produce component A, and how many units of component B should the firm buy?arrow_forwardWhat are the advantages of small-lot sizes?arrow_forwardDescribe what are the advantages of mixed model sequencing ?arrow_forward
