Flint lab produces 4 high tech product types. Each of the products must be wired, drilled, assembled and checked for quality standard before being delivered to consumers. The time requirement and profit for each product are as follows. Product A: 0.5 hr for wiring, 3 hrs for drilling, 1 hr for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product A can be sold for $10 per unit. Product B: 1.5 hr for wiring, 1 hrs for drilling, 3 hrs for assembling, and 1 hr for inspection. One product B can be sold for $13 per unit. Product C: 1.5 hr for wiring, 2 hrs for drilling, 3 hrs for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product C can be sold for $16 per unit. Product D: 1 hr for wiring, 3 hrs for drilling, 2 hrs for assembling, and 0.5 hr for inspection. One product D can be sold for $12 per unit. The maximum capacity for wiring, drilling, assembly, and inspection are 1500 hrs; 2350 hrs; 2600 hrs; and 1200 hrs respectively. Flint lab requires that there will be at least 150 units of A, 100…
Trans Global Tractor Trailers has decided to spend up to $2,700,000 on a fleet of new trucks, and it is considering three models: the Gigahaul, which has a capacity of 6,000 cubic feet and is priced at $60,000; the Megahaul, with a capacity of 5,000 cubic feet, priced at $50,000; and the Picohaul, with a capacity of 2,000 cubic feet, priced at $40,000. The anticipated annual revenues are $500,000 for each new truck purchased (regardless of size). Trans Global would like a total capacity of up to 234,000 cubic feet and feels that it cannot provide drivers and maintenance for more than 54 trucks.How many of each should it purchase to maximize annual revenue?
(Gigahaul, Megahaul, Picohaul) =
trucks
What is the largest possible revenue it can make?

- The supervisor at the Precision Machine Shop wants to determine the staffing policy that minimizes total operating costs. The average arrival rate at the tool crib, where tools are dispensed to the workers, is eight machinists per hour. Each machinist’s pay is $25 per hour. The supervisor can staff the crib either with a junior attendant who is paid $13 per hour and can process 12 arrivals per hour or with a senior attendant who is paid $16 per hour and can process 16 arrivals per hour. Which attendant should be selected, and what would be the total estimated hourly cost?arrow_forwardA furniture store expects to sell 120 coffee tables during the next year.

- Operations Research 1Do as Indicatedarrow_forwardFlint Fabricators Inc. machines metal parts for the automotive industry. Under the traditional manufacturing approach, the parts are machined through two processes: milling and finishing. Parts are produced in batch sizes of 30 parts. A part requires 5 minutes in milling and 7 minutes in finishing. The move time between the two operations for a complete batch is 5 minutes. Under the lean philosophy, the part is produced in a cell that includes both the milling and finishing operations. The operating time is unchanged; however, the batch size is reduced to 4 parts and the move time is eliminated. Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the traditional and lean manufacturing methods. (Round percentages to one decimal place.)arrow_forward. Embassy motorcycles (EM) manufactures two lightweight motorcycles designed for easy handling and safety. The EZ-Rider model has a new engine and a low profile that make it easy to balance. The Lady-Sport model is slightly larger uses a more traditional engine, and is specifically designed to appeal to women riders. Embassy produces the engines for both models at its Des Moines, Iowa, plant. Each EZ-Rider engine require 6 hours of manufacturing time and each Lady-sport engine requires 3 hours of manufacturing time. The Des Moines plant has 2100 hours of engine manufacturing time available for the next production period. Embassy’s motorcycle frame supplier can supply as many EZ-Rider frames as needed. However, the Lady-Sport frame is more complex and the supplier can provide only up to 280 Lady sport frames for the next production period. Final assembly and testing requires 2 hours for each EZ-Rider model and 2.5 hours for each Lady-Sport model. A maximum of 1000 hours of assembly and…arrow_forward
- Bruno Fruscalzo decided to start a small production facility in Sydney to sell gelato to the local restaurants. His local milk supplier charges $0.50 per kilogram of milk plus a $15 delivery fee (the $15 fee is independent of the amount ordered). Bruno's holding cost is $0.03 per kilogram per month. He needs 8,250 kilograms of milk per month. Suppose Bruno orders 10,000 kilograms each time. What is his average inventory (in kilograms)? Suppose Bruno orders 6,250 kilograms each time. How many orders does he place with his supplier each year? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. How many kilograms should Bruno order from his supplier with each order to minimize the sum of the ordering and holding costs? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 2,000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders this amount? If Bruno's storage vessel can hold only 7, 000 kilograms of milk, what would be Bruno's annual ordering and holding costs if he orders…arrow_forwardA publishing company sells 400,000 copies of a certain book each year. Ordering the entire amount printed at the beginning of the year ties up valuable storage space and capital. However, printing the copies in several partial runs throughout the year results in added costs for setting up each printing run, which costs $1000. The carrying costs, figured on the average number of books in storage, are $.50 per book. Find the most economical lot size, that is, the production run size that minimizes the total setting up andcarrying costs.arrow_forwardA tool company has a uniform annual demand for 9,000 premium chainsaws.

- Ethan Steel, Inc. has three factories that manufacture steel components for three different rail projects located at three different sites. They want to determine how many steel components must be transported from each factory to each project site. The demand for the steel components for the three projects, A, B and C, are 2500, 3000 and 4500, respectively.

The florist is considering opening shops in Canberra and Sydney, and has found three potential nursery sites at Wagga, Orange and Bathurst.
